Courtrai's stands run larger than most of central Paarl, with mature trees doing real work shading the roofline through summer — but that canopy is rarely even on all sides of a house. A north- or west-facing wing built for garden views usually sits in full sun for most of the afternoon, while the entrance and street-facing rooms stay shaded most of the day. That split matters more here than the mountain-glare problem further north in town — Courtrai's specification question is almost always about which side of the garden the sun actually owns.
Wide garden-facing glass usually takes a sunscreen roller blind at a view-preserving openness, with a blockout layer added for bedrooms. Where mature trees already do the heavy lifting on one elevation, we'll often recommend nothing more than a light-filtering fabric there and put the budget into the exposed side instead — an honest call, not an upsell. Entertaining patios facing the lawn suit a folding-arm awning, sized to the garden rather than the house.
Because shade coverage varies so much room to room on a large Courtrai stand, a free in-home measure is where we actually work out which windows need serious shading and which don't — worth doing before assuming every window gets the same product.
