Two fabrics, two jobs
Sunscreen fabric (in 3%, 5% or 10% openness) cuts glare and UV while keeping the fairway visible through the weave — the lower the percentage, the more heat and glare it stops, at the cost of a little view. A 3–5% weave is the standard choice for the big glass most Eagle Canyon homes are built around.
Blockout fabric does the opposite job: total dark for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms, plus a genuine insulating layer against summer heat and winter cold. It's the fabric to reach for anywhere the goal is "no light at all," not "less light."
Double roller, one bracket
Most bedrooms with a fairway view end up running a double roller — blockout for night, sunscreen for day, on the same headrail. It's the practical middle ground between "I want to see the ninth green" and "I want to actually sleep in."
Control options
Chain control with a wall-anchored tensioner as standard, spring-assist for a lighter action, or fully motorised for wide or hard-to-reach windows — see our note on motorised automation for linked, multi-blind runs.
- Suits big glass walls and stacking doors as well as smaller apartment windows
- Budgets run from entry fabrics through to premium sunscreen weaves
- Cassette or pelmet valances hide the tube, fascia colour-matched to your frames
Fitting rollers across our patch
The double roller — blockout for night, sunscreen for day — is the brief we fit most often: golf-facing lounges in Ruimsig, big West Rand windows in Featherbrooke Estate, ridge-top glass in Northcliff, and the established Roodepoort homes of Constantia Kloof all run the same measure.
