The Six Fountains Brief

A Young Estate, Still Filling In

Six Fountains is one of Pretoria East's growing security estates, and the spread of homes on it tells the story — recent listings have run from under R3 million to just under R11 million, which means established houses stand beside brand-new builds still going up around them. That mix creates two very different jobs: upgrading a lived-in home, or specifying a house before the painters even arrive.

A young estate is still choosing its character — every blind we fit either matches the house that's already there, or sets the tone for the one going up next door.

New-build stock here leans on the same architectural language across most of Pretoria East's estates: open-plan living, double-volume stairwells, floor-to-ceiling stacking doors onto the patio. It looks generous on the plans and floods a room with sun from midday, which is exactly why we work from a tape measure and a site visit rather than a size chart — every quote is per window, in writing, and every appointment is confirmed with your estate's access system before a consultant is booked.

The Range

Twelve Ways To Control The Light — And A Repair Bench

Every blind below is made to measure for your window — never trimmed to fit off a roll. And when one stops working, we fix it.

Blockout Roller Blinds

Total light-out for bedrooms and media rooms, with a quiet layer of insulation against the highveld's midday heat.

Explore

Sunscreen Roller Blinds

Cuts glare and UV off the big glass while keeping your view of the estate's open common ground.

Explore

Day & Night Roller Blinds

Dial privacy and light band by band — useful where new-build stands sit close enough to see straight into the lounge next door.

Explore

Aluminium Venetian Blinds

Precise light control for kitchens, sculleries and bathrooms — finished to shrug off daily condensation.

Ask about this

Timber Venetian Blinds

Warmth and grain for the estate's more traditional facades, with tilt control a roller blind can't match.

Ask about this

Cellular Honeycomb Blinds

Air-cell construction that steadies a room's temperature — a genuine win on the double-volume stairwells this estate builds so often.

Ask about this

Vertical Blinds

Wide sliding and stacking doors onto the patio, covered edge-to-edge without a single seam showing.

Ask about this

Concealed & Recessed Blinds

Fabric drops from a slot in the ceiling — the detail worth raising before your bulkhead is closed up, not after.

Ask about this

Skylight & Shaped Blinds

Gables and stairwell skylights, fitted to the odd angle most other quotes skip past.

Ask about this

Roller Shutters

Sun, glare and blackout in one motorised system — a look estates around here approve of on sight.

Shading, not security. Our roller shutters are made for sun, heat and glare control on the outside of the glass. They are not security-rated shutters — that is a different product, which we can quote on request.

Explore

Folding-Arm Awnings

Retractable patio shade with a wind sensor that pulls the fabric in before a highveld storm gets to it.

Explore

Motorised Blinds & Automation

One remote, one app, every blind in the house — rechargeable motors that keep working through loadshedding.

Blind Repairs & Re-Cording

Snapped chains, tired cords, a blind that won't sit level — we repair and re-cord most makes, including blinds we didn't originally fit.

Shade, Fitted To The New Build

The Six Fountains Light & Water Field Guide

Before you pick a single blind, it helps to know what the sky over this estate actually does — why summer noon is easy and the low afternoon sun is the problem, how the three lakes throw glare into a living room, and what the estate's own rules mean for anything fixed to the outside of your house. We researched it, sourced it, and wrote down the honest trade-offs both ways.

Why Six Fountains Needs Its Own Spec

A Highveld Estate, Building Its Character

Six Fountains is a genuine mix right now: recent listings span from under R3 million to close to R11 million, which means we're regularly working on an established family home in the morning and a house still on brick-and-mortar by the afternoon. For the new builds, that timing is an opportunity — a concealed blind box and the wiring for a motorised system are far easier to plan before the ceiling is closed and the painters arrive than after.

Pretoria East's climate sets the rest of the brief. Summer afternoons here turn fast — the October-to-March storm season brings genuine hail risk alongside strong highveld sun — so exterior products on this estate get specified with a wind sensor and a storm rating as standard, not treated as an upgrade. Loadshedding is still an honest part of the conversation too: rechargeable battery motors keep blinds working through an outage, while a wired system needs its own backup power source, and we'll say so plainly at quote stage rather than gloss over it.

New-build opportunity

Concealed blind boxes and motor wiring are easiest to plan before the ceiling is closed — worth raising with your builder early.

Highveld storm season

October to March brings real hail risk. Roller shutters and awnings here are specified with a wind sensor and a storm rating, not just shade.

Questions

Before You Book Your Measure

Can you get onto our estate for a free measure?
Yes. When you enquire, let us know your estate's visitor process and gate details, and we'll confirm access and a suitable time before a consultant is booked — no arriving unannounced at your boom.
We're still building — can you measure before the house is finished?
Often, yes, and it's genuinely worth the timing. If your ceilings and window openings are framed, we can advise on concealed blind boxes and motor wiring before the boards go up, which is far tidier than retrofitting later. We'll talk through what stage suits a proper measure when you enquire.
Do roller shutters and awnings need to match our estate's approved colours?
Many security estates run architectural or aesthetic guidelines covering anything visible from the street, including roller shutter and awning colours. We'll help you choose a finish to put in front of your estate's approvals process, but the sign-off itself sits with your body corporate or HOA, not with us.
Are your blinds safe for a home with small children?
Yes, done properly. Corded and chained blinds are fitted with a tensioner that anchors the loop to the wall, and we recommend cordless, wand-tilt or motorised control for nurseries and playrooms. Motorisation removes cords and chains entirely, which is the safest option where it's practical. Ask about child-safe controls at your measure.
Do motorised blinds still work during loadshedding?
Rechargeable battery motors keep operating through outages — you simply charge them every few months, load permitting. Wired systems need a backup power source such as an inverter; we'll talk through the right option for your home at quote stage.
What's the difference between blockout and sunscreen fabric?
Blockout fabric stops light completely — the right call for bedrooms and media rooms. Sunscreen fabric is a mesh weave that cuts glare and UV while keeping your view during the day, though it reverses at night when your lights are on inside. Many Six Fountains lounges pair both on a double roller.
