Blinds & shading for Plattekloof
An elevated ridge suburb built around one thing — the Table Mountain view — which means expansive glazing, real wind exposure, and shading that has to earn its place without blocking the outlook.
Plattekloof sits high enough to see Table Mountain from most of its streets, and the architecture responds accordingly — wide, often floor-to-ceiling glazing on the view-facing elevation, from standard family homes right up to genuinely large architect-designed builds. Every one of those windows needs a product that manages heat and glare without giving up the reason the house was built where it was.
What we watch for in Plattekloof
- Wide, view-facing glazing — low-openness sunscreen fabric (3–5%) is the standard answer for keeping the mountain view while cutting the afternoon glare and heat.
- Ridge wind exposure — an elevated position catches more wind than the suburbs lower down the hill; any exterior product here gets a motor and wind sensor as standard, not an optional extra.
- External heat control — on hard west and north elevations with serious glazing, external venetians and roller shutters come up often, stopping heat at the glass rather than managing it once it's already inside.
- Architect and aesthetics-committee homes — several Plattekloof developments run design guidelines on visible exterior finishes; we confirm those before quoting anything that changes the facade.
