Higgovale is the City Bowl’s quiet apex — architect-designed homes folded into the trees high on the mountain’s lower slopes, many with double-volume glass framing the city below.

We quote, supply and arrange professional installation throughout Cape Town and the Western Cape. Every product is made to measure — nothing off the shelf.
South Africa's building energy standard, SANS 10400-XA:2021 (Ed 2), regulates solar heat gain through glazing for good reason: glass is where summer heat enters. External shading intercepts that heat before the glass; quality interior blinds add an adjustable second layer. The result is a cooler home and less air-conditioning load — comfort you can feel and running costs you can measure.
Blind boxes designed into the ceiling detail so shading disappears completely when raised — specified at design stage.
Motors, remotes, timers and sun/wind sensors — run a single blind or the whole home from your phone. We are Somfy specialists.
Openness-factor fabrics (3–5%) that cut glare and heat while keeping your view and daylight. The specifier’s choice for view-facing glass.
Whisper-quiet motorised tracks for curtains and sheers — the finishing touch in automated homes.
The full range — every blind type, awnings, external venetians, Somfy motors and Glydea curtain tracks — is on the main Blind Solutions site.
Yes. We are Somfy specialists — motors, remotes, timers and sun/wind sensors for new blinds, and in many cases existing blinds can be upgraded. Motorisation is the right call for high, wide or hard-to-reach glazing, and it pairs with home-automation systems.
Layering: day-night blinds alternate sheer and solid bands you tune through the day, and sunscreen fabrics give daytime privacy while keeping the view out. For night privacy, add a blockout or lined layer to the same window.
Yes — shading reduces solar heat gain through glazing, which is exactly what SANS 10400-XA:2021 (Ed 2), South Africa's building energy-usage standard, regulates through fenestration requirements. External shading is the most effective because it intercepts heat before the glass; quality interior blinds add a further adjustable layer.
