# Custom Blinds Knysna — Blinds, Shutters & Awnings

## Quick Answer
Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings is based in Knysna and has served the town since 2010. We offer two routes: made-to-measure blinds you can order online and self-install (shipped free nationwide), and in-home consultation, measure, and installation of engineered products — shutters, awnings, shadeports, Ziptrak outdoor blinds, security screens, and motorisation. Knysna is home base, and Duncan Kane personally handles local consultations.

## What We Offer in Knysna

**Online blinds (order and self-install)**
Roller, blockout, sunscreen, zebra, dual-roller, honeycomb, and aluminium venetian blinds — made to measure, priced live online, and shipped free to Knysna and nationwide. Production is 5 working days. Order at the shop.

**In-home consultation and installation (Duncan Kane)**
Aluminium shutters, louvred and canvas awnings, shadeports, Ziptrak outdoor blinds, security and insect screens, and Somfy / Coulisse motorisation. These are measured, engineered, and installed on-site — there is no online price.

## Knysna Coastal Specification

Knysna's lagoon-front and forest-edge positions combine salt air, humidity, and high UV. Duncan Kane specifies stainless-steel chain as standard on coastal blind installations, marine-grade coatings and 316 stainless fittings on shutters and screens, and heavier-duty anchoring on awnings and shadeports exposed to the prevailing south-westerly wind.

## Who This Is For

Knysna residents and business owners who want either a fast, affordable online blind order they can fit themselves, or a full in-home service for engineered products that need a site measure. Holiday-home owners benefit from Duncan's coastal specification, which is built for the lagoon's salt air rather than generic inland hardware.
