Blinds in Illovo
Low-rise apartments and established homes on the Rosebank side, often with older steel-framed openings.
Illovo sits between Rosebank and Sandton and keeps a good deal of its older housing stock, which means steel-framed windows, deep reveals and the occasional opening that is not quite square. None of that is a problem, but it does mean the measure matters more than usual — a made-to-order blind is only as good as the dimensions it was made from.
A lot of our Illovo work is replacement and repair rather than a full fit-out: restringing timber venetians, replacing perished cords on north-facing windows, and re-fitting blinds that came down for a repaint.
Where a full replacement makes sense, the older window proportions suit venetians and rollers with a slim cassette, keeping the reveal shadow line rather than swamping it.
Illovo sits inside our core service area, so it is the same consultant-led measure, the same made-to-order manufacture and the same installation team we bring to Sandhurst itself. The measure is free either way.

The Sandhurst Slope & Sightline Papers
What the light does here, and what we would fit where
Illovo's older steel-framed openings and its apartment blocks ask different questions of the same sun. The Papers walk each elevation in turn and give the reasoning behind every product we would fit — including where a tilting slat beats a roller, and where it does not.
