Sandhurst is walled mansions on large stands, long driveways and entertainment wings built around a pool — among the highest-value residential ground in the country. Renovations tend to be considered and complete rather than piecemeal, which means shading gets planned as part of the project instead of added afterwards.
Full-height glazing and wide steel-frame sliders are the norm, so motorised blinds and automation do most of the heavy lifting here — one keypad or app running an entire glass wall, sun sensors managing the hardest elevations without anyone remembering to. Where a renovation calls for frameless glass and a clean ceiling line, concealed and recessed systems planned in with the architect keep the window reading as glass alone.
Formal rooms and studies often pair well with timber venetian blinds, while bedrooms and screening rooms take true blockout roller blinds.
Sandhurst sits on a north-western slope, so entertainment wings and glazed extensions here catch the afternoon sun on top of the general highveld midday glare — the hardest combination to shade well. We published everything we know about this suburb's sun in The Hyde Park Light Almanac — the December and June sun angles, which elevations suffer and when, what we'd specify on each with the honest trade-off both ways, and the five things only an on-site measure can settle. It is free, ungated and sourced. If you'd rather have a rough number first, the window ledger at the foot of it turns your own rough sizes into a budget range by the next working day.
Because Sandhurst renovations are usually extensive, the earlier we're involved — ideally alongside your architect or builder — the cleaner the finished result. A free in-home measure gets the exact specification down on paper, with nothing guessed.
