Blinds & shading for Camps Bay

Camps Bay is defined by its view — contemporary villas and apartments built almost entirely of glass toward the Twelve Apostles and the open ocean. Where Bantry Bay’s position tucks a little into Lion’s Head’s lee, Camps Bay’s beach and homes face open water more directly, which means both the swell and the summer south-easter reach it with less to break them first.

What a Camps Bay property usually needs

• Glass-first specification — Camps Bay’s newer villas run almost wall-to-wall in glass toward the sea; that calls for cassette rollers or linked motorised systems across a run, not one narrow blind per pane.
• Salt-air rated hardware, without compromise — the direct open-water position means Camps Bay sees more consistent sea spray than Bantry Bay’s more sheltered stretch; we specify powder-coated aluminium and sealed cassettes as a baseline, not an option.
• Genuinely wind-rated exterior shading — the south-easter funnels straight down Table Mountain into the bay with real force; awnings and zip screens here need a proper wind rating and a sensor for automatic retraction.
• View-preserving glare control — afternoon sun bounces hard off open water onto west-facing glass; sunscreen fabric at 3–5% openness is usually the right call over full blockout.
