Shading, not security. Our roller shutters are made for sun, heat and glare control on the outside of the glass. They are not security-rated shutters — that is a different product, which we can quote on request.

Specifier note
Every window in a Blue Hills home has two views — the paddocks beyond the glass, and the one the fabric gives you back at three in the afternoon. We measure for both.

Why Blue Hills
Windows that face the paddocks need their own specification
Blue Hills sits on Midrand’s equestrian belt — big stands, north-facing verandas and living rooms built to look straight over paddocks and riding arenas. That same glass is what turns a lounge into a viewing box in the morning and an oven by three in the afternoon.
Then there’s the other half of the year: October to March storm season, when a clear Highveld afternoon can turn to hail inside twenty minutes. Anything left open outside — an awning, an external blind — needs a wind sensor that pulls it in before the first gust, not after it.
Add the dust that comes with gravel roads, arenas and wide-open stands, and a tightly-woven sunscreen or blockout fabric earns its keep fast on a Blue Hills home. Many estates here run their own architectural guidelines too, so we work within your estate’s colour and fascia rules from the first quote — no surprises at approval stage.

Questions
Frequently asked
Do exterior blinds and awnings cope with Highveld hailstorms?
Motorised exterior products with a wind sensor auto-retract before a gust hits, which protects the fabric and arms through most storm activity. Being honest about it: an awning is a shade product, not a storm shelter — in genuine hail, the sensor pulling it in early is the whole point.
Our estate has an architectural or aesthetics committee — can you work within their rules?
Yes. We work to your estate’s approved colours and fascia guidelines and can put together a spec sheet for submission before anything is ordered.
Our house is still being built — can you still help?
Yes — this is common on newer Blue Hills stands. We can do an early site visit for planning once glazing sizes are confirmed, then a final precise measure closer to handover.
Inside mount or outside mount for big paddock-view windows?
Inside (recess) mount sits flush and minimal but needs enough recess depth, with small light gaps at the edges being normal. Outside (face) mount gives fuller blockout coverage and can make a window feel larger — the right call depends on the frame, which we check at the free measure.
Are the blinds child-safe?
Yes — chain and cord tensioners are standard on every corded install, and wand-tilt or cordless options are recommended for nurseries and kids’ rooms. Motorisation removes cords and chains entirely, which is the gold standard if it suits your budget.
How does dust from the gravel roads and arenas affect fabric choice?
Tightly-woven sunscreen and blockout fabrics wipe down easily and show dust less than loosely woven weaves. We’ll point out the easier-clean options for arena-facing or drive-facing windows at the measure.
