What sets the price of a blind
A made-to-measure blind is priced from its width and drop in millimetres, the type, the fabric and how it is worked.
- Type
- A plain aluminium venetian costs the least; a motorised honeycomb blind linked to a smart-home system costs the most. Roller, vertical, zebra (double roller) and duo roller blinds sit in between.
- Size
- The price scales with the window. Large blinds also need heavier brackets and, when motorised, stronger motors.
- Fabric and slats
- Sheer fabric costs less than blockout. UV-certified slats cost more than budget ones and last longer.
- Operation
- A chain or wand is standard. A motor adds to the price of each blind, and smart-home integration adds more.

Measuring, ready-made or custom, and how long blinds last
- Recess fit
- For a blind inside the window opening, measure the exact opening; the maker takes 10 mm off the width so it runs freely.
- Face fit
- For a blind fixed over the opening, add 100 mm of overlap on each side and give the totals.
- Measure three times
- Measure the width at the top, middle and bottom, and the drop on the left, centre and right, with a steel tape.
- Ready-made sizes
- Ready-made blinds come in fixed widths, usually 600, 900, 1200, 1500 and 1800 mm, with drops of 1600 or 2100 mm. A window between sizes gets a gap or a trim, and trimming usually voids the warranty.
- Lifespan
- Custom-made blinds last 10 to 15 years of daily use; ready-made blinds typically last 2 to 4 years before the mechanism or fabric fails.
- When ready-made makes sense
- For a window that happens to be a standard size, a short let, staging a house for sale or a covering needed today.

We would like to thank, Secure, Western Cape, for the installation of a beautiful set of security shutters in our home. This stunning new feature has added both value and peace of mind to the property. The process from quote to clean-up, was faultless. The team was exceptional, efficient, and professional. Our order was submitted in early December (the worst possible time - right before Christmas). But, the job was completed on time, in a single day, two days before Christmas eve. We highly recommend Secure, Western Cape, for their professionalism and their exceptional service. They have been a pleasure to deal with and are highly recommended as a partner in improving your home. Thank you, Elana and Elfranco, we wish you all the best.

Elfranco of SeQure arrived, advised and measured professionally. A very competetive price was agreed upon and within a fair time the blinds were delivered and installed. They look slick and elegant and were the perfect choice. Thank you for a job well done. I have no hesitation to recommend this company.

It was such a pleasure to deal with Elfranco and the SeQure Western Cape team. The quotations were prompt and detailed, they installed high-quality products that represent great value for money. The installation team (Calvin & Gift) were excellent. They were efficient, courteous and friendly. They cleaned up afterwards and left our space looking better than when they arrived. I have no hesitation in recommending the company to anyone.
