What homes here are like
Parkview runs along the northern edge of the Johannesburg Zoo and Emmarentia Dam — older character homes on tree-lined streets, many of them extended and renovated over the years rather than knocked down and rebuilt. It shares the same "Parks belt" canopy and the same generation of family additions as Craighall Park just up the road.
The brief tends to run the same way: original windows with real proportions on the front of the house, a newer glass addition at the back, and a garden that gets genuinely used rather than just admired from the kitchen window.
Product fit for Parkview
- Concealed & recessed systems — for extensions and frameless glass at the back of the house; see concealed systems.
- Sunscreen rollers — the standard answer for view-preserving glare control facing the garden; see roller blinds.
- Folding-arm awnings — for stands with real outdoor entertaining space; see awnings & zip screens.
Where a Parkview home hasn't been touched since it was built, we'll say plainly if a timber venetian is going to suit the window better than a hard aluminium roller — matching the house is part of the job, not an upsell.
