Concealed & recessed blinds for a Durbanville Hills new build

This is the one product on the range where timing matters more than anything else. A concealed or recessed blind needs its slot built into the ceiling or bulkhead — which means the earlier we’re in your build or renovation, the cleaner the result. Get it in before the ceiling boards go up, and the window disappears completely when the blind is raised.

Who this suits

• Architect-designed and double-volume homes — the frameless glass and minimalist detailing common on Durbanville Hills’ newer, larger-stand builds.
• Still-building or major-renovation projects — where the recess can be planned into the ceiling drawings before construction reaches that point.
• Retrofit — possible even after the fact, using a surface-mounted bulkhead or a slim cassette pelmet colour-matched to the ceiling, if the ceiling-slot window has passed.

What matters technically

Recess depth runs roughly 110–150mm depending on the blind type, tube and fabric drop — we confirm the exact specification for your system at quote stage rather than guessing on site. Almost every concealed system is motorised, since hand-reaching into a ceiling slot defeats the point of hiding it in the first place. We coordinate directly with your builder or architect on downlight, aircon slot and curtain pelmet positions so nothing clashes once the ceiling closes.

The pitch, honestly

Shading designed into the ceiling, not bolted on after. It photographs beautifully, and it’s a premium spend for a premium result — the right call for a feature living space, not necessarily for every window in the house.
