Shading, not security. Ours sit on the outside of the glass and deal with the sun, the heat and the glare out there. A security-rated shutter is not the same thing at all, and we quote that one on its own when a house needs it.

Blind Repairs & Restrings

We don't only fit new. A snapped cord, a chain that jumps its clutch, a motor that has stopped answering, a blind that has never hung straight since the room was repainted — in a suburb where plenty of blinds are already ten or fifteen years old, a lot of that is a repair rather than a replacement. If it can be restrung, re-bracketed or serviced instead of replaced, that is what we will quote you for, and we will say so plainly at the visit.

Why Lynnwood is different

Built for how this suburb actually lives

Lynnwood's wide, established stands and jacaranda-lined streets mean gardens run through real seasons of light — deep dappled shade for hours under old trees, then, once the sun drops low in the afternoon, a hard band of west light straight through the lounge and patio doors. It's exactly the kind of light a single "one size" blind never quite solves.

The housing stock adds its own complication: original steel-frame and timber sash windows from the suburb's 1960s-to-80s boom sitting beside newly opened-up kitchens and stacking doors, often in the very same house. Every quote here starts with a measure of each window on its own terms — inside-recess mount where the original frame still suits it, outside mount where a renovation has changed the opening.

Then there's the Pretoria sky. Highveld thunderstorms build fast between November and March, often with real hail — a risk any exposed patio roof or open awning has to reckon with. Anything mounted outside is specified with that in mind: genuine wind ratings, and a motor with a wind sensor on anything left extended over a braai.

And because Lynnwood is a family suburb before it's anything else — plus a growing number of security complexes and clusters filling in around it — cordless and motorised control isn't treated as an upsell here. It's the sensible default in any room a child spends time in, and the tidy, body-corporate-friendly answer for a cluster unit.

The Lynnwood Light & Shade Field Guide

We wrote a proper, researched guide to shading a home in this exact suburb — the sun angles at our latitude, the jacaranda dappled-then-hard-cut afternoon light, the Highveld hail season, and what we'd actually specify on each elevation, with the honest trade-offs both ways. Free, no email needed to read it.

  • Room-by-room, elevation-by-elevation recommendations with real reasoning
  • A two-minute window schedule you can print and walk the house with

How it works

Four steps, no surprises

The same consult-led process every time — nothing ordered blind, nothing fitted without a written number first.

01

Enquire

Tell us the rooms, roughly how many windows, and what you're trying to solve — glare, privacy, heat or security.

02

Free in-home measure

An expert consultant visits your Lynnwood home with samples, measures every window precisely, and talks through fabric, mount and motorisation for each room's light.

03

Written quote

A proper per-window quote, options itemised — nothing verbal, nothing to remember.

04

Made & fitted

Made to order, then professionally installed — level, tested and demonstrated before the team leaves.

On the money, before the visit rather than after it: a square metre of shading in this part of Pretoria East works out between R1,000 and R7,500, hung, set by the product and by whether it runs on a motor. Very small windows price to a floor, and your own per-window figure comes out of the free measure in writing.

About this service

What this is, told straight

Lynnwood Blinds measures, makes and fits window shading for Lynnwood and the suburbs beside it — Menlo Park, Hazelwood, Brooklyn and Faerie Glen. Roller blinds, aluminium and timber venetians, cellular honeycomb blinds and motorised systems are all manufactured to the sizes taken at your own openings, because an established house that has been extended twice does not have two windows the same, whatever the original plan said.

The process is the same every time. You send the form or open the chat, and one of our expert consultants will contact you shortly to arrange a free in-home measure. At that visit each window is measured precisely, the original frames and fixings are checked so nothing gets damaged, and fabric, mount and motorisation are worked out room by room against the light that side of the house really gets. A written quote follows with the options itemised per window, and nothing is ordered until you have accepted it. Then it is made to those sizes and installed level, tested and demonstrated before the team leaves.

Whatever you send with your enquiry is used to arrange that call-back and for nothing else, handled under POPIA.

Questions

Honest answers, before you ask twice

Do you actually cover Lynnwood, or just the general area?
Lynnwood itself, plus the immediately surrounding streets of Menlo Park, Hazelwood, Brooklyn and Faerie Glen. If you're just outside that belt, ask anyway — the measure visit is free either way.
Are your blinds safe for young children?
Cordless and motorised control is our recommended default for any room a child uses — nursery, playroom or bedroom. Where a chain or cord is used elsewhere in the house, a wall tensioner is fitted as standard to keep the loop taut and out of reach. We'll also flag it if a cot, bed or climbable piece of furniture is sitting under a corded window.
Can you match new blinds to my home's original window frames?
Yes — that's the point of the in-home measure. Inside-recess mount suits original openings where a tailored, minimal look matters (small light gaps at the edges are normal and we'll say so upfront). Outside mount covers a wider area, improves blockout and can make an older window feel larger — useful where frames have dated. We'll recommend per window, not per house.
Will a patio awning actually survive a highveld thunderstorm?
Only if it's specified properly. Wind ratings on an awning are a real limit, not a suggestion — a gust catching an open awning in a Pretoria storm can write it off. For anything over a braai or entertaining area we recommend a motor with a wind sensor, so it retracts itself before the storm arrives rather than after.
Do you do motorised blinds, or just manual?
Both, on almost every product in the range. Motorisation is worth it most on hard-to-reach windows, double-storey stairwells, and anywhere with young children in the house — no cords, no chains, nothing to reach for.
How long does the whole process take, start to fitted?
It runs in four steps — enquiry, free measure, written quote, then manufacture and fitting. Everything is made to order once you've approved the quote, so exact timing depends on the products chosen; your consultant will confirm real lead times on the day rather than a generic estimate.
