Awnings, blinds and shutters
in Fourways
Fourways patios face big skies and, more often than not, the full afternoon sun. We measure, make to order and install adjustable shade across Fourways, Dainfern, Broadacres, Lonehill and Douglasdale, so a west-facing patio stays usable past three o'clock.
Louvre awnings
A freestanding or attached aluminium roof with blades that follow the sun and close ahead of the rain.
Ceiling awnings
Insulated panels that stop an estate-house patio roof from radiating the afternoon heat downwards.
Outdoor roller blinds
Drop blinds that take the sting out of a west-facing patio without walling in the view.
Aluminium shutters
Louvred blades for bedrooms and patios that want daylight control and a lockable barrier in one frame.
Indoor roller blinds
Light-filtering, blockout and screen fabrics measured to the big windows newer homes are built with.
Venetian blinds
Aluminium and Styrowood slats that handle bathroom steam and wipe clean of highveld dust.
Built for the afternoon sun
Fourways and the suburbs around it are full of newer estates and family homes with patios drawn generously on plan, and plenty of them face west. By mid-afternoon in summer those patios cook, and a fixed roof alone does not solve it. Louvre blades angle the low sun out while the breeze keeps moving, drop blinds screen the open sides, and insulated ceiling panels stop an existing roof from pushing heat down onto the table below.
Site visits run through Dainfern, Broadacres, Lonehill, Douglasdale and Sunninghill, and everything is made to measure in marine-grade powder-coated aluminium with stainless steel fasteners. The visit costs nothing, the fixed written quote arrives within 48 hours of the measure, and the written guarantee is registered to your address once the job is done.

Fourways questions
What people in the area usually want settled before they book.
Do you install louvre awnings, blinds and shutters in Fourways?
Yes. Fourways is core territory for our Gauteng crew, and free site visits run through Dainfern, Broadacres, Lonehill, Douglasdale and Sunninghill on the same routes.
Will my estate's homeowners association allow an awning?
Most do, within their rules. Estates and bodies corporate around Fourways commonly regulate colours, profiles and anything visible from the street, and we supply the drawings and product specifications owners typically need to take an application through.
How quickly can you do a site visit in Fourways?
Normally within a few working days of your message. The measure is free, and the fixed written quote lands within 48 hours of it.
My patio faces west and cooks in the afternoon. What actually helps?
Low western sun slides in under a fixed roof, so the answer is shade you can angle or close. Louvre blades tilt to block a low sun while still letting air through, and outdoor drop blinds screen the open western side directly. Which one suits your patio depends on its shape and orientation, and that is exactly what the free site visit works out.
