Blinds & motorisation for Menlo Park

What homes in Menlo Park are like

Menlo Park is one of Pretoria's most established family suburbs — large stands, mature gardens and a housing stock that ranges from original mid-century homes to substantial additions and full rebuilds. It's a suburb where families tend to stay and renovate rather than move on, so it's common to find an original 1960s or 70s structure with a modern open-plan extension tacked onto the back, each with completely different window proportions.

That renovation pattern is the recurring brief: match a treatment to the original rooms, and spec differently for the new glass at the back.

Which products suit Menlo Park

Original rooms with smaller windows generally suit aluminium venetians or a well-fitted roller; a new kitchen or living extension with bigger glass toward the garden calls for blockout or sunscreen rollers, and increasingly a motorised system where the opening is wide. Cellular blinds are worth considering on any older single-glazed window where insulation, not just light control, is the goal — useful on a highveld property with a large, established garden that holds cold air overnight in winter.

Whatever the mix in your house, the free in-home measure covers every window on the property, old wing and new addition, in one visit.
