Hout Bay · Cape Town
Hout Bay is its own world — harbour, beach, valley smallholdings and view homes ringed by mountains. It's also a world of south-easter funnels and salt air, and window treatments here survive only if they're specified for it. Ours are.
Made for this suburb
The valley funnels wind, and sea-facing homes add salt to the equation. That's why we lean on zip-guided outdoor screens (fabric locked in side channels, not flapping loose), powder-coated aluminium, and hardware chosen to shrug off coastal air — with honest maintenance advice included.
Inside, the brief runs from beach-house casual to smallholding country: sunscreen rollers that keep mountain and harbour views, moisture-tolerant venetians for kitchens and bathrooms, and blockout where the summer sun wakes the household at five.
What we fit
Zipped side channels hold the fabric tight in real wind — mesh for glare and insects, clear PVC to make winter patios usable.

Learn more →Cassette-protected retractable shade with wind sensors — because the south-easter doesn't warn you first.
Learn more →Before you choose
We wrote a plain-English field guide to shading windows in this valley: how the afternoon sun and the glare off the water hit sea-facing glass, what the south-easter does to an outdoor blind, why salt air decides the hardware, and how the damp forest side near Constantia Nek flips the whole brief. It works through the choices room by room, with honest trade-offs both ways — then hands you two easy ways forward.
