It’s the first question almost every client asks us: “How much will my blinds cost?” After 38 years of making and installing blinds and curtains in Johannesburg and Pretoria, our honest answer is that it depends on your windows. But we can tell you exactly what it depends on, what should be included, and how to make sure you don’t end up paying twice.
There is no single price for blinds installation, because every window is different. The cost of your blinds depends on the width and height of each window, the product you choose (roller blinds, Venetian blinds, curtains or shutters) and the quality of the fabric and mechanisms. That’s why any honest supplier will need your measurements before giving you a price.
At Blind Concepts, installation is included in your quote. There are no surprise extras.
Two “standard” bedroom windows can be completely different sizes, and blinds and curtains are made to measure. A price quoted without measurements is just a guess, and guesses usually end in extra costs or blinds that don’t fit properly.
To give you an accurate quote we need three things:
If you’re not sure what you want, that’s completely fine. We’ll help you decide during your free home consultation.
Roller blinds, Venetian blinds, wave curtains and shutters are all priced differently. Each one suits different rooms, light needs and budgets.
Within one product the fabric makes a big difference. For example, see-through sheer or sunscreen fabrics are often more affordable than blockout fabrics, which cost more because they block light completely. That’s ideal for bedrooms.
Not all blinds are made equal. In the South African market there are budget-friendly ranges and premium ranges. Premium suppliers such as Blind Designs, Aluvert and Blindquip cost more. The same applies to curtain fabrics: high-end fabric houses such as Hertex are priced above entry-level fabrics. At Blind Concepts we focus on quality, because quality is what lasts.
Motorised blinds and curtains, for example with Somfy motors on blinds or Omnia motors on curtain tracks, add to the cost. They’re worth it for large, high or hard-to-reach windows.
Some windows need extra equipment, like scaffolding for double-volume spaces. With us that’s included in your quote upfront, never added on afterwards.
With Blind Concepts, yes. Everything is included in your quotation: measuring, manufacturing and professional installation by our own team. If your job needs scaffolding, it’s in the quote. What we quote is what you pay, with no surprises at the end.
We also offer after-sales service. If something ever needs attention, we come back and sort it out.
We’re often called out to fix or replace cheap blinds and curtains that were installed elsewhere. These are the problems we see most:
In the end, these clients pay twice: once for the cheap blinds, and again to have the job done properly.
“Rather save up and do it right the first time. Doing it cheap and then redoing it is actually more expensive.” Kyle Van Dalen, Blind Concepts
If you’ve just moved into a new home or the budget is tight, don’t do the whole house with cheap products. Start with the rooms that matter most and do them properly:
Then save up for the next rooms. Buying once and buying right is the best way to save money on blinds and curtains.
We’re not here for one quick sale. We want to build long-term relationships with our clients.
Don’t only look at the price. When comparing quotes, make sure you’re comparing like with like. Ask these questions:
A cheaper quote can easily turn into a complaint two years later. With us you know exactly who to call, and we’ll come.
Over the years many clients have told us that during their building or renovation project, “everything went wrong except the curtains and blinds installation.” Some have literally started dancing after seeing their finished windows.
Most of our new work comes from word of mouth and returning clients. We’re known for being quick, respecting your space, and making the whole process a happy experience from start to finish.
You have three easy options:
We offer free consultations across Johannesburg, Pretoria and surrounds. See all the areas we serve.
It depends on the size of your windows, the product and the fabric quality. At Blind Concepts installation is included in your quote, so the price you see is the total price.
No. Measuring, manufacturing and installation, including scaffolding if needed, are all included in your quote.
We need the width and height of each window and the product you want. Send us your measurements and photos on WhatsApp, or book a free consultation and we will measure for you.
Yes. We work on a 50% deposit and 50% before installation. If you pay in full upfront, you get 7.5% discount.
Our quotes are valid for 10 working days, because supplier prices can change.
Cheaper blinds use lower-quality fabrics and mechanisms. They often bend, fade, tear or come off the wall within a year or two, which means paying again.
We’re a family-run business, and we come to your home to help, not to push a sale. We take our time, talk things through with you and bring samples so you can see and feel the options in your own space. From start to finish, we’re here to add value and to give you a customer experience you’ll want to tell your friends about.
