Six Most Frequently Asked Questions About Blinds + One Bonus Tip!

We chatted with Natasha, and she shared answers to the most frequently asked questions about blinds to help you make a confident, informed choice.

1. What types of blinds does Blinds & Flooring Specialists Overberg stock?  

Natasha: We stock a wide range of custom-made blinds, including:

• Roller Blinds: Available in single and double options. Choose from classic cotton, linen-look fabrics, or SheerWeave screens for light control and UV protection.

• Venetian Blinds: Made from wood, PVC, or aluminium - perfect for adjustable light control with a timeless finish.

• Vertical Blinds: Sleek and functional, ideal for offices and modern homes.

• Roman Blinds: Elegant and fabric-rich, crafted from natural or synthetic materials.

• Security Shutters: Stylish and strong, offering extra protection without sacrificing aesthetics.

2. Do your blinds fit all shapes and sizes when it comes to windows?

Natasha: Absolutely. Whatever the shape or size, every blind is custom-made to ensure a perfect fit for your specific window or door. 

3. How do I measure my windows for blinds?

Accurate measurements are crucial for a perfect fit. I’ve seen the most crooked windows in my time, so we really do prefer doing the measurements ourselves so that our clients don’t come away disappointed. Even making a 1cm mistake can end badly.

To help you along if you have to do it yourself, though, here’s a simple guide:

• Inside Mount: Measure the width and height of the window recess at three points (top, middle, and bottom for width; left, centre, and right for height). Use the smallest width and largest height.

• Outside Mount: Measure the area you’d like the blind to cover, and add extra width and height to block out light effectively.

If you’re unsure, we do offer free on-site consultations in Gansbaai and Hermanus to help with expert measuring and advice. Sit back and relax while we do the job!

4. What is the difference between having blinds and curtains?

Natasha: Each has its perks

• Blinds: Great for light control, space-saving, modern aesthetics, and easy maintenance. They’re also more durable.

• Curtains: Add warmth and texture, and help with insulation. Many clients pair curtains with our blinds for the best of both worlds.

We focus on blinds because of their practicality and style.

5. How do I clean and maintain my blinds?

Natasha: It depends on the type:

• Roller Blinds: Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid strong chemicals.

• Venetian Blinds: Dust with a microfiber cloth or vacuum using a brush attachment.

• Vertical Blinds: Remove the fabric vanes, soak in mild soapy water, rinse, and air dry.

• Roman Blinds: Vacuum with an upholstery attachment. Spot clean when needed.

Blinds & Flooring Specialists Overberg also offers maintenance and repair services. From stuck mechanisms to wear and tear, just give us a shout!

6. Are custom blinds worth the investment?

Natasha: Yes! Here’s why:

• Perfect Fit: Tailored to your exact measurements.

• Personal Style: Choose the material, colour, and design that works for your space.

• Better Durability: Made from high-quality materials for long-term use.

• Increased Property Value: Well-fitted blinds enhance the look and feel of your home or office.
