Bigger stands, older window openings, and often a renovation somewhere along the way — a different measuring job to a brand-new estate street.
Constantia Kloof is one of Roodepoort's established suburbs, built up well before Ruimsig's estate boom — larger stands, mature gardens, and window and door openings that were never standardised the way a new development's are. Extensions and renovations over the years often mean odd sizes, mismatched openings between the original build and an added room, or aluminium frames replacing older timber ones.
That's exactly the kind of job made-to-measure exists for. We measure every opening on site rather than working off a floor plan or a builder's schedule, so a renovated kitchen window gets the same precise fit as the original lounge glass next to it.
Roller blinds and aluminium venetians cover most of the everyday openings here; timber venetians suit character rooms and older-style windows where a warmer, natural finish sits better than a hard aluminium line. Patios and stoeps common on these bigger stands are a natural fit for a folding-arm awning — shade on demand without a permanent structure.
Established homes usually already have curtain rails, old blind brackets or window treatments to work around or remove. We factor that into the free measure rather than treating it as a surprise on install day. And if it's a repair rather than a replacement your older blind needs, see the closing card of The Ruimsig Big-Glass Blueprint — we quote that honestly too.
