Weatherproof louvre design
Design to install, one crew
Urbanshades is a shade contractor working across the Western Cape and Gauteng: louvre awnings, ceiling awnings, outdoor roller blinds, aluminium shutters and indoor blinds. Each structure is designed, made to order and fitted by one local in-house team, with nothing handed off to subcontractors.
The people who measure your patio are the same people who fabricate the structure and bolt it down. That is why detailing, finish and fit stay consistent from first measurement to the controls walkthrough at hand-over.
Precision throughout the process
In-house fabrication
Every structure is cut, drilled and powder-coated to your colour in our own workshop, then quality-checked before it leaves for site.
Marine-grade materials
Powder-coated marine-grade aluminium extrusion with no ferrous metal, stainless fasteners throughout and finishes rated for Atlantic salt air.
Somfy automation
Motorised louvre systems with rain and wind sensors, integrated lighting and app control. Every motor housing is IP65-rated.
What we stand for
Three commitments sit behind every louvre awning, ceiling and blind we install.
See our processBuilt for salt spray and hard sun

Design, fabrication and installation under one roof. Tighter quality control, cleaner site work and a single point of accountability.
