We had all our windows redone by Window Boutique and specifically requested stainless steel fittings, as we live in a coastal town. The beaded strings for the blinds were initially plastic and couldn’t handle the weight. The replacements rusted within a month. The blinds are extremely tight, roll up skew, and one floor-to-ceiling blind does not roll up at all. The curtain rods also rusted because they weren’t stainless steel as requested. Worst of all, the blinds were screwed into our frameless Sunflex door frame, irreparably damaging the track. We had to pay R800 to have it repaired. When we contacted Window Boutique to reinstall the blinds correctly, the customer service was poor, and the damage was not acknowledged or fixed. Overall, very disappointing workmanship and after-sales support.

Hi Marqaux. We're disappointed by your 1⭐ review amid our 44 five-star ratings, and we take all feedback seriously.
However, we've thoroughly searched our database and found no record of your Name or Surname. This raises concerns about whether Window Boutique actually completed your work.
To verify please provide:
Contact Number
Invoice number (essential for tracing)
Installation address
Rough install date (year/month?)
Photos of rust/damage as we keep photos of installations on file for at least one full year.
Without these, we can't proceed or confirm you're our client. If verified, our team will fix everything promptly.
Hope to hear from you soon!

Despite being in contact with the company for over a month regarding damage they caused to our Sunflex frame, the issue remains unresolved. The company is now demanding a R1 000 call-out fee to address their own mistake, even though their actions have already resulted in damage exceeding R8 000. It is disappointing to see the company publicly deny knowledge of the customer involved instead of taking responsibility and providing proper after-sales support.

Hi Braam,
Thank you for your review. To clarify for you and all readers:
Our blinds were installed in October 2023 using stainless steel components. They performed perfectly with no issues for over 2 years during the 1-year installation workmanship warranty (as agreed at purchase). The product itself carries a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials, but this does not cover damage or incorrect handling by third parties after installation.
The current issue occurred after another company removed and re-hung the blinds during your renovations. Despite this being outside our scope and warranty, we visited free of charge to assess, then issued a transparent R1150 quote for re-installation to restore full function.
We’ve also noticed multiple negative reviews posted within hours of each other from accounts in Canada and South Africa using similar phrasing appearing to originate from the same household. We value genuine feedback, but coordinated review campaigns misrepresent our service to future customers.
We’re still ready to help. Please accept the quote and we’ll schedule the repair immediately.
Best regards,
Anke

Rust, damage and poor after-sales support from Window Boutique
We had all our windows redone by Window Boutique. Since our property is located in a coastal town, we specifically requested that all fittings be made from stainless steel to prevent rust damage. Unfortunately, our experience has been very disappointing.
The beaded strings for the blinds were initially made of plastic and could not support the weight of the blinds. The replacement metal beads began rusting within a month. The blinds themselves are extremely tight, often rolling up skew and damaging the material. One floor-to-ceiling blind doesn’t roll up at all.
The curtain rods also rusted because they were not made from stainless steel as requested. Most concerning was the damage caused to our frameless Sunflex doors — the blinds were attached directly to the main frame with screws, which irreparably damaged the track. We had to pay R8000 for repairs through Sunflex.
When we contacted Window Boutique to reinstall the blinds correctly, the customer service was extremely poor. The damage was not acknowledged or resolved.
Overall, we are deeply dissatisfied with both the workmanship and customer service received, especially given our clear specifications for coastal durability.

I reached out to The Window Boutique in Ballito for blinds and curtains a few weeks back. Anke came in, took measurements, and made sure we had the best materials! I was very indecisive and Anke went the extra mile until I got my dream vision. The team checked in regularly, and the customisation was a swift 2-3 weeks. The final result? Beyond happy! Honestly exceed our expectations. The attention to detail, kindness, and the entire team were so great they blew us away. They even steamed everything for that perfect finish. Can't recommend them enough! 🌸

I had blinds installed at my home in Ballito by The Window Boutique and was really impressed with the service. Anke and her team were professional, efficient, and paid great attention to detail. The installation was seamless, and the blinds have completely transformed the space. Highly recommend them if you're in the Ballito area and looking for quality window solutions with excellent customer service.

Not only are they kind but but they go the extra mile with advising on the kind of blinds and colours that go with your aesthetic . I appreciated it. This will not be the last time using Windows Boutique.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Asi. We are so happy to hear you are happy with your Roller Blinds. We appreciate your support and hope to be of assistance to you again!
Wow! Such a pleasure to deal with Anke and her team at Window Boutique. She went to great lengths to repair our older shutter blinds, and also installed new aluminium blinds for us in our holiday home. She was very hands on, and personally kept me informed of progress in the job. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them if you want a well priced and professional supplier. Great service. Thank you and well done.
