Blockout & Sunscreen Roller Blinds

Built for the light a Hazelwood cluster actually gets

Most Hazelwood living areas are built around a wall of glass — a sliding door onto the pool deck, a kitchen that opens straight onto the garden, a double-volume window in the entrance. That much glass answers the light problem for half the day and creates it for the other half: a hard, low glare once the highveld sun swings onto a north- or west-facing elevation. A roller blind is the simplest, tidiest way to answer that on the rooms that don't call for a concealed recess or motorised treatment.

Fabric is the decision that matters

Blockout fabric stops light completely — the right call for bedrooms, media rooms and any space where afternoon glare through a big window is a problem. It carries a genuine thermal benefit too, working as an extra layer against summer heat and winter cold on a large single-glazed pane.

Sunscreen fabric, by contrast, keeps the view while cutting glare and UV — 3–5% openness is the usual sweet spot for a lounge or kitchen that looks onto the garden or pool. It's a daytime privacy product only: once the lights go on inside after dark, a sunscreen blind turns see-through from outside, which matters on a street-facing cluster elevation.

Double rollers, for the rooms that need both

A double roller pairs blockout and sunscreen fabric on one bracket — sunscreen down by day for the view and glare control, blockout down at night for proper dark and for privacy on a street-facing window. It's the honest answer for a main bedroom or a lounge that overlooks a communal driveway.

Where a roller isn't the right call

Very wide, unbroken spans need a join line in the fabric, which shows — on a genuinely oversized opening we'll usually suggest motorised linked blinds or a concealed recess system instead. We'll say so plainly at the free measure rather than sell you the wrong product.

Fit and control

Chain control comes with a child-safe tensioner as standard; spring-assist and motorised options are available if you'd rather have no cord at all, which is the common choice in Hazelwood's cluster developments. A cassette or pelmet valance hides the tube for a neater finish, colour-matched to your frames — the detail that reads as considered from the street, not just from the couch.
