Extend Your Living Space Year-Round | Wind-Resistant Café Blinds & Patio Systems
Cape Town's outdoor lifestyle demands weather protection that doesn't compromise your view or entertainment space. Our outdoor blinds are specifically engineered to withstand the notorious South-Easter wind while providing all-weather shelter for patios, balconies, and restaurant terraces.
Essential for Cape Town outdoor living:
The Cape Town standard for outdoor dining
Heavy-duty clear PVC panels that roll up/down. Maintain your view while blocking wind and rain. Essential for restaurants and homes with premium views.
Lifespan: 5-8 years (coastal), 8-10 years (inland)
Premium wind-resistant technology
Spring-balanced blinds with side channels that lock the fabric in place. No flapping, no noise, withstands extreme wind. The gold standard for exposed coastal properties.
Patented side zipper tracks guide the blind vertically. Wind cannot lift or damage the fabric. Smooth spring-assisted operation - just pull handle to raise/lower.
Wind Rating: Up to 80km/h when properly installed
Sun and privacy control for covered patios
Standard roller blinds with outdoor-grade fabrics. Ideal for pergolas, braais, and covered stoeps where wind protection isn't primary concern.
Budget-friendly alternative to Ziptrak®
Side tracks guide the blind but without spring mechanism. More affordable, still provides wind resistance.
The South-Easter ("Cape Doctor") is Cape Town's defining weather feature. Summer winds regularly exceed 50km/h, with gusts hitting 80km/h+. Standard outdoor blinds will flap violently, damage themselves, and fail within months.
