Installed right.

Every screen and every panel: designed, engineered and fabricated in our Cape Town facility. One accountable team. Direct control over quality, cost and delivery from brief to installation.

Engineered to the millimetre.

Concealed fixings, resolved cavity detailing, panels that land perfectly every time. This is the standard behind every screen and facade we build, and the reason we're trusted on the projects that can't afford to get it wrong.

Common Questions

Questions architects and developers actually ask us.

Straight answers. No sales fluff. If your question isn’t here, our team is.

Ask Us Anything →

Do you do the full job: design, fabricate and install?

Yes. In South Africa, TILT manages the full scope with its own team, from initial concept and shop drawings through to manufacture at our Cape Town facility and installation on site. One accountable team, no dropped handovers. For international projects we partner with local installers.

How long does a typical project take from order to install?

Lead times depend on the size and complexity of the project. We confirm a programme when we quote.

Can you create custom patterns, or are you limited to a catalogue?

Fully custom, no minimum order. Send us a sketch, a reference image or a mood board and our in-house design team develops the pattern from your brief. We’ve built screens from hand-drawn sketches and from fully detailed CAD packages. Both work.

Do you provide NBS-style specification clauses for architects?

Yes. We provide full specification support for architects and QSs, including itemised BOQs, NBS-style specification clauses, material samples and technical data sheets. We can attend design team meetings and provide written input at any stage.

What’s your BEE status?

TILT is a Level 4 B-BBEE contributor with full procurement recognition value. Our B-BBEE certificate is available on request.

Do you work outside Cape Town and South Africa?

Yes. We manufacture in Cape Town and install nationally. We’ve delivered projects in Johannesburg, Durban, the Garden Route and into sub-Saharan Africa. Outside South Africa we partner with local installers, and cross-border logistics is handled by our team.
