Melrose and Melrose Arch put residents inside one of Johannesburg’s few true live-work-play precincts. Apartment glazing is modern, large-format and often floor-to-ceiling — beautiful, and demanding on climate control.

We measure, quote, supply and professionally install across Johannesburg and Sandton. 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.
Full darkness for bedrooms, media rooms and nurseries — clean lines, made to measure, chain or motorised.
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.
Broad sliding fabric panels for big openings and room division — a clean modern alternative to curtains.
The full range — every blind type, awnings, external venetians, Somfy motors and Glydea curtain tracks — is on the main Blind Solutions site.
Yes. Apartment work is a large part of what we do — wide sliders, floor-to-ceiling glass and balcony openings. We measure on site, and we're used to working with building management and body-corporate access requirements.
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.
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.
