Helderberg's beachfront

Awnings that suit Strand

The Strand is Helderberg's beachfront: a long swimming beach lined with apartments and family homes, plenty of them holiday places, all facing the same bright, breezy, salt-edged False Bay weather.

The brief is usually shade that also handles wind and sea air, on homes that may stand empty for weeks: robust baked-aluminium louvres, retractable awnings and drop blinds that need no fussing between visits. Our Cape Town team measures and installs along the coast.

What we build in Strand

Solid over the table, blades alongside

A west-facing space in Strand takes the afternoon full in the face and then the wind turns and takes the evening. One cover has to do both jobs, and it has to do them while nobody is there for months at a stretch.

A combination roof splits the difference: solid panels sealed over the table so a meal is never called off, louvred sections alongside for the light and the air. Every fixing is stainless and the aluminium is baked, so a flat standing empty through winter needs nothing done to it before the next stay.

Good to know

Awnings in Strand: common questions

What awning suits a holiday home that stands empty?

Something low-maintenance and retractable. Retractable awnings and drop blinds fold or roll away when the home is locked up, and marine-rated aluminium needs no upkeep between visits.

Can you deal with both sun and wind on a beachfront balcony?

Yes. A retractable awning handles the sun and a drop blind breaks the wind off False Bay, and the two are often fitted together on exposed Strand balconies.

Do you cover the Helderberg coast?

We do. The Strand, Gordon's Bay and Somerset West are all served by the Cape Town branch crews.
