The range
Sixteen ways to control light, heat and privacy
Every product is made to measure per window and fitted by the same team that took the measurements — from the everyday roller blind to external shading that stops the highveld afternoon at the glass.
Day & Night Blinds
Alternating sheer and solid bands that dial privacy against a street-facing cluster window, without losing the light entirely.
Explore
Aluminium Venetian Blinds
Crisp 25mm or bold 50mm slats that steer light precisely — the clean-lined fit for a contemporary Hazelwood build.

Timber Venetian Blinds
Wide basswood slats and fabric tapes — warmth against all that glass and plaster, and the softer choice for a bedroom or study.

Vertical Blinds
Hanging vanes that rotate to steer low afternoon sun off a wide window — and pull clear of a sliding door in one movement.

Panel / Sliding Blinds
Broad fabric panels gliding on a track — wide doors onto the pool deck covered edge to edge, without a curtain eating the wall.

Concealed / Recessed Blinds
Fabric drops from a slim ceiling slot — the finish architect-designed Hazelwood homes are built for.

Cellular (Honeycomb) Blinds
Air-cell fabric that adds real insulation to a double-volume glass box, and quiets the room too.

Skylight & Shaped Blinds
Gables, light wells and the angled glass that Hazelwood's newer architecture keeps producing — measured to fit.

Motorised Blinds & Automation
App, remote or sun-sensor control, and no cord left dangling in a cluster where tidy detailing counts.

Motorised Curtain Tracks
A quiet electric track behind existing drapes, for the rooms where the curtains are staying put.
Ask about these
External Venetians
Aluminium louvres that stop heat at the glass, before a highveld afternoon ever reaches the lounge.
Ask about these
Zip Screens
Taut mesh locked into side channels — it holds its shape in the wind and turns a covered patio into a room you can actually use.
Ask about these
Roller Shutters
Rigid aluminium slats rolling down on the outside of the glass — sun, heat and full blackout under one motorised control.
Shading, not security. The roller shutters we fit deal with sun, heat and glare before any of it reaches the pane. Security-rated shutters are a separate product altogether; ask and we will quote one for you.

Folding-Arm Awnings
Retractable shade over the entertainer's patio, wound back in when you want the sky again.

The Hazelwood Window Field Guide
Before you spend anything, read how the Pretoria sun actually crosses this suburb, why the tree canopy shades the ground floor while the apartment upper floors bake, and what we'd fit on each elevation — with the honest trade-off on every option. Written for Hazelwood, sourced, and free, with nothing to sign up for.
Why Hazelwood specifies differently
Built for the glass, the cluster rules and the highveld sky
Hazelwood is a small, boutique pocket wedged between Brooklyn's embassy belt and the wider eastern suburbs — mostly compact architect-designed clusters and freestanding homes rather than sprawling stands, many of them recent builds or thorough renovations. That density means glass does a lot of the design talking: open-plan living rooms and entertainer's decks built around a wall of sliding doors or a double-volume window, oriented toward a small garden, a pool or a braai deck rather than a big view.
It also means two things a generic quote misses: the street-facing side of a cluster usually has to look considered from outside, not just work from inside, and the back-of-house glazing carries the real heat load. We measure and spec each elevation on its own terms, not the whole property on one setting.
01
Big glass, hard afternoon light
Architect-designed clusters favour walls of glass toward the garden or pool — the highveld sun turns that into a low, hard glare through the back half of the day, worst on north and west exposures.
02
Cluster rules, a considered street face
Many Hazelwood addresses sit inside boutique complexes with body-corporate expectations on appearance; motorised, cassette-hidden hardware reads as tidy from outside.
03
Summer hail, highveld storms
Pretoria's November–February thunderstorm season brings real hail and gusting wind — exterior shading wants a wind sensor built in, not bolted on afterward.
04
A discreet, security-minded street
Close to the Brooklyn embassy belt, this is a market that expects cordless and motorised as the default spec, not an upsell.
How it works
Four steps, one visit
No showroom trip, no online guesswork — a consultant comes to you with samples and a tape measure.
01
Enquire
Tell us the rooms, the window count and what's bothering you about the light — chat, form or a quick call.
02
Free in-home measure
A consultant visits with fabric and slat samples, measures every window and door precisely, and talks through what suits each elevation.
03
Written quote
A per-window quote, options itemised, so you can see exactly what you're paying for before you commit to anything. To set expectations early, shading here spans roughly R1,000 to R7,500 per square metre installed depending on the product and the control; small windows carry a minimum charge, and the precise number is worked out at the measure.
04
Made & fitted
Everything is made to order for your windows, then fitted cleanly by the same team, with the operation demonstrated on the day.
About this service
Measured at your house, made for your windows
Hazelwood Blinds supplies and fits made-to-measure blinds and motorisation in Hazelwood and the suburbs immediately around it — Brooklyn, Menlo Park, Lynnwood and Groenkloof. There is no shop to walk into and nothing arrives in a standard size. Rollers, day and night blinds, concealed ceiling-recess systems and automation are all built to the dimensions taken in your home, for the opening they will live on.
How a job runs, start to finish. You enquire through the form or the chat, and one of our expert consultants will contact you shortly to set up a free in-home measure. That visit covers every window and door on the property, with fabric and slat samples on the table and each elevation discussed on its own terms rather than the house treated as one setting. A written quote follows with every window and every option listed separately, so you can see what you are paying for before you commit. When it is signed off, the order is manufactured to those measurements and fitted by the same team, with the operation demonstrated on the day.
Anything you send through is used only to arrange that call-back, and is processed under POPIA.

Questions
Before you book the measure
Do you fit blinds in boutique clusters with body-corporate rules?
Yes — motorised and cassette-hidden hardware reads as tidy from the street and clears most body-corporate expectations on appearance. Tell us about your scheme's rules at enquiry stage and we'll confirm anything specific at the free measure.
Can you handle floor-to-ceiling or oversized glass?
Yes — wide spans and double-volume glazing are common in Hazelwood's newer architecture. Motorised rollers, external venetians or a concealed ceiling-recess system are usually the answer, and we'll measure and spec accordingly rather than force a standard bracket onto an oversized opening.
Are the cords and chains safe for small children?
Chain and cord tensioners that anchor the loop to the wall are fitted as standard practice. For nurseries and kids' rooms we'll talk you through cordless and motorised options — motorisation removes cords and chains entirely.
Do exterior products cope with Pretoria's hailstorms?
External venetians and roller shutters can be specified with a wind sensor that retracts the system automatically before a highveld storm hits, and the same protection is available on folding-arm awnings.
How long from quote to fitted blinds?
Everything is made to order once you approve your written quote. Your consultant will confirm the exact lead time for your fabrics and sizes at that point, rather than quoting a generic number that may not apply to your job.
Is the free measure really free, with no obligation?
Yes. The in-home measure and the written per-window quote that follows are both free. You're welcome to take the quote away and think it over.
