Light,
dressed right.
Blinds, curtains and shutters — measured, made and hung by the same Cape Town workshop for three decades. Same hands, new chapter.
"The kind of window fitter people in Durbanville pass along by word of mouth — not because of marketing, but because the hems are straight and the fitter shows up on time."— Northern Suburbs Home & Garden
Three ways to dress a window
Every room takes light differently. We fit the finish to how you actually live in the space.
Venetian & roller
25mm and 50mm slats in aluminium, timber and faux-wood, plus blockout and sunscreen rollers built for Cape light and coastal air.

Thirty years of Cape light
Founded in 1994 in the Northern Suburbs, we've measured, cut and hung window furnishings for families across Cape Town for three decades — long before "made to measure" was something you could order on a screen.
In 2026, new custodians took over the workshop under the name Loom & Ladder. The team, the machines and the way we do a home visit haven't changed. What's new is the name, a proper website, and a promise to keep doing this the same careful way for another thirty years.

What Cape Town homeowners say
"They measured on a Tuesday and fitted on the Friday. No missed calls, no follow-up hassle."
— Homeowner, Durbanville"Same fitter who took the measurements came back to install. You could tell he actually cared about the finish."
— Homeowner, Bellville"We'd used them under the old owner for our first house. Nothing about the service changed when we called Loom & Ladder."
