Blinds & motorised screens for Rivonia
North-east of Sandown, Rivonia mixes established freehold homes with newer townhouse complexes and low-rise office parks around the Braamfontein Spruit greenbelt — garden-facing glazing and serious patio living.
What homes in Rivonia are like
Rivonia sits north-east of Sandown around the Braamfontein Spruit greenbelt, mixing established freehold houses on garden stands with newer townhouse and cluster complexes, plus a number of low-rise IT-sector office parks. Garden-facing glazing and serious patio and braai-area living are the norm here, in a way apartment-tower living further into Sandown simply doesn't allow.
Which products suit Rivonia
Between established houses, newer complexes and a strong outdoor-entertaining culture, a handful of products come up again and again:
- Roller & day/night blinds — the practical choice for newer townhouse and cluster stock.
- Motorised options — where a complex scheme prefers a uniform, cordless external appearance across units.
- Zip screens — for patio and braai-area entertaining, a strong Rivonia habit.
In the complex-heavy pockets, body-corporate uniformity on external appearance matters as much as it does closer to Sandown — worth checking your scheme's rules before committing to a colour or finish.
Rivonia’s garden-facing glazing takes the same Highveld sun as Sandown’s towers — the manual sets out what each elevation does, and what suits it. Read the Sandown manual — it is free and ungated.
