On the estate
A property, not one window
A wine-estate home is rarely a single building. The main house wants everyday comfort; the terrace wants to survive a wind change mid-dinner.
Spec logic
How we specify for the Cape Winelands
Every Winelands town runs the same sun and the same winter-rainfall calendar. Past that, the wind, the glass and the rulebook change from Stellenbosch to Wellington — so the spec does too.
01 Orientation and sun path
Every Winelands town sits close to 33.7–33.9°S, so midsummer sun tracks almost directly overhead in the north (roughly 79–80°) before dropping to a low, welcome 32–33° by midwinter. North glass wants a shading answer that can be reversed with the season — motorised, not fixed. West-facing tasting rooms and terraces take the harder hit: a low, direct sun exactly when the cellar door is busiest.
02 Wind, town by town
Stellenbosch still feels some of the coastal south-easter; Paarl and Wellington sit far enough inland that it fades and continental heat takes over instead; Franschhoek's three-mountain horseshoe funnels its own cool downdraught off the peaks most evenings. Different source, same answer — every exterior product on our spec sheet, awning, zip screen or external venetian, carries a motorised wind sensor.
03 Two eras of glazing
Historic town cores keep small-paned Cape Dutch and Georgian windows in deep-set sash and gable frames — these want timber venetians or a slim internal blind that respects the reveal, not a bulky exterior retrofit a heritage overlay would refuse. New wine-estate architecture runs the opposite way: full-height glass built for the view, not the sun angle — these need shading that stops heat before the glass, because no internal blind cools a room that's already hot.
04 The estate rulebook
Most wine and golf estates in the region run their own architectural approval process for anything visible from outside — colour, profile, fixing points. We bring drawings and a colour spec to that conversation before a blind goes anywhere near the facade, so the sign-off happens once.
A wine-estate property is a homestead, a cottage or two, a cellar door and a terrace — and we spec each of those spaces on its own sun and wind, not as one blanket order for “the house.”

Questions
Before you enquire
Do you fit guest cottages and staff accommodation, or only the main house?
Every structure on the property — main homestead, guest cottages, the cellar door, tasting room and staff accommodation all get measured and quoted as their own openings. Most estates run several buildings with different sun and wind exposure, so it's rarely one blanket spec.
Will external venetians or roller shutters change how the facade reads from the vineyard?
Some visual change is honest to expect — the hardware sits outside the glass. We colour-match the facade and bring drawings to any estate architectural committee before installation, rather than asking you to explain it after the fact.
What happens on an exposed terrace when the wind picks up mid-dinner?
Awnings, zip screens and external venetians on this site's spec sheet are motorised with a wind sensor as standard — the system retracts itself before a gust does the damage, whether that's the coastal south-easter or a Franschhoek evening downdraught off the mountains.
Do roller shutters over the tasting-room windows double as security shutters?
No — the roller shutters we fit are a shading product: heat, glare and blackout control for the glass. A security-rated shutter is a different, heavier-duty product, available on request if that's specifically what you need.
We're mid-harvest or mid-renovation — can you still measure and fit around that?
Yes. Tell us what's happening on-site when you enquire and we'll work the in-home measure and fitting day around it, rather than around a fixed schedule that ignores it.
Do timber venetians hold up next to a cellar or a steamy scullery?
Quality lacquered basswood handles normal household humidity fine, but we don't recommend timber for a room that runs genuinely steamy — an aluminium venetian is the honest choice there instead.
