Elite Fires & Shutters was started in 2014 with a vision to bring different aspects of home improvement together under one roof.
That vision began in 2007, when Cornè Engelbrecht worked alongside her sister in an interior decorating business. There she gained experience in interior decorating and discovered her natural talent for working with indoor and outdoor living spaces. Her interest in creating beautiful, functional homes naturally grew to include fireplaces, braais, blinds, shutters and security solutions.
Over the years, these areas have come together to create a business that offers clients a complete approach to their homes, with personalised advice, professional installation and maintenance.
Rebranded in 2026, Elite Fires & Shutters continues to build on the experience, knowledge and vision that started it all. For Cornè, it’s about more than products. It’s about helping people find practical solutions that work for their homes and making the process as personal and straightforward as possible.
Outside of work, Cornè enjoys slowing down and spending time outdoors. She loves being in nature and often heads out for walks along the beach paths around Gansbaai, enjoying the fresh air, open spaces and beautiful surroundings.
