Blinds & shading for Claremont.
Cavendish Square's bustle at the centre, oak-lined Victorian streets climbing the slopes above it toward the mountain.
Two Claremonts, two specs
Upper Claremont, toward the mountain, is Victorian and Edwardian villas and mid-century houses on quiet, tree-lined streets — filtered light through mature street trees is the norm, with glare control needed mainly on west-facing living rooms once the afternoon sun clears the canopy. Lower Claremont, flatter and closer to Main Road and the M5, is denser: townhouses, semis and low- to mid-rise apartment blocks with more exposed balconies and full-height glazing.
That second group is where sunscreen or blockout rollers plus motorisation earn their keep — a shared building with awkward or hard-to-reach openings is exactly the case motorised control was built for, and a single remote covering several windows on one balcony is a common, sensible ask here.
- Upper Claremont's mature street trees filter most daytime light; west-facing rooms still want glare control by mid-afternoon.
- Lower Claremont's apartments and townhouses near Main Road sit far more exposed, with balconies and full-height glazing.
- Arderne Gardens' Norfolk pines and the wider tree canopy mean upper-slope homes read closer to Newlands' forested feel than the commercial core does.
Specifier note
Body-corporate buildings near the commercial core sometimes have their own rules on visible exterior fittings — worth checking before an awning or external blind goes in, and something we'll flag at the measure.
