The everyday answer for fairway-facing glass.
A fabric panel on a clean aluminium tube, made to measure per window — the workhorse that fits everything from a nursery to a full wall of glass overlooking the eighteenth.
Roller blinds are the default recommendation for most Serengeti Estate windows, and there's a simple reason: the mechanism is minimal, the look is clean against contemporary estate architecture, and the fabric does all the work. The buying decision really comes down to one question — what does this window need to do?
Choosing the fabric
- Blockout — total light stop for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms, with a genuine thermal benefit against highveld summer heat and winter chill.
- Sunscreen (3%, 5% or 10% openness) — cuts glare and UV off the fairway while keeping the view; the lower the percentage, the more heat and glare it blocks, at the cost of a little view.
- Light-filtering / translucent — softens daylight and gives full privacy, without a view to preserve.
Worth knowing on sunscreen: it gives daytime privacy but reverses after dark — lights on inside means visible from outside. For a fairway-facing bedroom, we usually pair it with a second roller or curtain for night-time privacy.
Double roller — the fairway bedroom fix
A blockout and a sunscreen fabric on one bracket, switched independently: sunscreen by day for the view and glare control, blockout at night for total darkness and privacy. It's the single most requested combination on estate bedrooms with a fairway or wildlife-land outlook.
Practical details
Chain control comes with a wall-anchored safety tensioner as standard; spring-assist and motorised options are available on every fabric (see our motorised automation page). Cassette or pelmet valances hide the tube for a cleaner finish, with the fascia colour-matched to your frames. A single blind runs to roughly 3m of fabric width before we'd recommend splitting the span or linking motorised blinds instead.
Where they don't win
Very wide, unbroken spans will show a join line eventually, and a heritage cottage aesthetic usually suits a timber venetian better than a roller. On a contemporary Serengeti Estate build, though, rollers are very often the right call.
