Roller Blinds

Bedrooms · Studies · Every window

There's a reason rollers are fitted in more Lonehill units than anything else: one hardware system, three genuinely different jobs. Blockout for the rooms that need to go properly dark, sunscreen for the big glass you don't want to cover up, light-filtering where you just want softness. Made to measure, per window, every time.

Choosing the fabric

• Blockout — total light stop for main bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms, with a thermal benefit against Highveld summer heat and winter cold.
• Sunscreen (3–10% openness) — cuts glare and UV on the big glass so many Lonehill units have, while keeping the garden view. Reverses at night, so pair with a second layer for bedrooms.
• Double roller (day/night combo) — blockout and sunscreen on one bracket, the practical answer for a bedroom that still wants a view during the day.

Being honest about the limits

Very wide unbroken spans need a join line or a second, linked blind — common on the larger sliding-door openings some clusters have. And if your unit leans heritage or cottage-style rather than contemporary, a timber venetian usually suits the aesthetic better than a plain roll.

Control & finish

Chain control with a required safety tensioner, spring assist, or fully motorised. Cassette or pelmet options hide the tube, with fascia colour-matched to your frames — the tidy look most Lonehill body corporates expect on anything visible from outside.

Before you book anything: how the sun crosses this part of Johannesburg through the year — and what we’d fit on each elevation, with the honest catch on every answer — is written up free in The Lonehill Complex Light Handbook. No sign-up, and every figure in it is sourced.

We fit rollers at this same standard right across the belt — blockout and sunscreen combinations for the new-build clusters in Fourways and Broadacres & Cedar Lakes, and for the larger openings typical of Helderfontein Estate and Dainfern homes.
