Blinds & Awnings for Broadacres & Cedar Lakes

New cluster developments just north of Lonehill, with the same close-quarters brief and a lot of brand-new windows.

Broadacres and the neighbouring Cedar Lakes precinct sit directly north of Lonehill and Fourways, and the growth here has been almost entirely new-build clusters and estate stock — typically from the high-R2 millions into the R5m-plus range. Every one of these homes arrives with a full set of unfinished windows, which makes this one of the steadier volume belts in the north.

What suits Broadacres & Cedar Lakes homes

  • Blockout roller blinds for bedrooms across a new cluster build — fast to specify consistently, room by room.
  • Day/night blinds in open-plan living areas, where cluster units often sit close to a communal green or a neighbouring stand.
  • Folding-arm awnings over the patio — new-build gardens here are usually built around outdoor entertaining from day one.
  • Motorised blinds where an electrician is already on site during the build — the cleanest time to wire a motor in.

If you're moving into a fresh unit here, the whole-house free measure is the efficient route — one visit covers every room, and fabric and colour stay consistent throughout.
