Blinds, Roller Shutters & Awnings in Gansbaai
Gansbaai and De Kelders sit in the centre of a cluster of small bays with no headland or mountain doing the sheltering — the most directly wind- and salt-exposed of the four towns we serve out from Hermanus.
No headland doing the sheltering here
Gansbaai is a working fishing-harbour town, globally known for the great white shark cage-diving off its coast, with De Kelders' limestone cliffs on its western edge. Unlike Hermanus, which sits inside Walker Bay with some protection from the bay's own curve, Gansbaai and De Kelders face the open south Atlantic directly — there's no equivalent shelter. Every exterior product we spec here — roller shutters, external venetians, awnings, zip screens — gets the fullest salt and wind rating in our range as a default, not an upgrade option.
The town's character is working-harbour and holiday-and-fishing village, not estate architecture, which shapes what actually gets asked for: practical, durable products on family homes and holiday lets, rather than the architectural statement pieces more common on a Hermanus cliffside rebuild. Roller shutters sold honestly as a shading product — sun and glare control, never security — are a common request on west-facing harbour views where the afternoon glare off the water is intense.
De Kelders' clifftop homes, meanwhile, look straight out over the whale-watching grounds and the open water beyond — big glass is the whole point of the address, so external venetians and sunscreen rollers that manage heat without sacrificing that view are our usual recommendation there.
