Old streets, mixed architecture
Brooklyn sits east of Groenkloof and Waterkloof as one of Pretoria's older established suburbs — a genuine mix of smaller heritage cottages, larger renovated family homes, and townhouse infill along the busier roads. That variety means we're rarely fitting the same window twice: a Victorian sash on one street, a double-volume renovation extension two doors down.
What that means at the measure
On original Brooklyn cottages, timber venetians and made-to-measure roller blinds remain the most sympathetic fit for smaller sash and casement windows. Where a home has been extended or rebuilt with larger openings, day-night blinds and motorised roller systems suit open-plan living and entertaining areas well. For street-facing rooms near Brooklyn's busier corridors, sunscreen fabrics and day-night blinds give privacy without blocking the light entirely.
Renovation-driven demand
A good number of our Brooklyn enquiries come from homes mid-renovation — new glazing, an opened-up kitchen, a converted garage. If you're planning ahead, an earlier conversation with us means blind and roller shutter recesses can be built into the plans rather than retrofitted afterwards.
