VENETIAN BLIND TYPES
Venetian Blinds come in four types: Plaswood, Wood, Aluminium and Bamboo. They allow light to be directed to different positions.
WOODEN VENETIAN BLINDS
Wood Venetian Blinds are ideal for windows that don’t get too much afternoon sunlight (as the harsh sun will fade and splinter the blinds after time).
A classic blind, Wooden Venetians are made of the highest quality Basswood. We stock a huge selection of color options from wood stained, coated, and modern colors.
PLASWOOD VENETIAN BLINDS
Plaswood Venetian Blinds are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens where the blind won’t be affected by steam.
Some Plaswood Venetian Blinds do not do well with lots of sunlight, so care needs to be used when selecting which Plaswood / Fauxwood to choose. These blinds tend to be (but are not always) heavier than wood. Our newest ranges of plaswood Venetians have wood grain textures. They can be wiped down with a damp cloth which makes them easy to clean and maintain.
ALUMINIUM VENETIAN BLINDS
Aluminium Venetian Blinds are ideal for any window of your home. Because they come in 25mm., 35mm., and 50mm. Slats, they’re versatile and practical.
Aluminium Venetian Blinds are a simple, easy solution to any window. Renters love these blinds as they aren’t a huge investment and make a classic statement to any room of your home.
BAMBOO VENETIAN BLINDS
Bamboo Venetian Blinds are a great alternative to Basswood Venetian Blinds. With a signature texture, Bamboo Venetian Blinds do well in moist environments such as bathrooms and kitchens as bamboo naturally grows in water.
Bamboo Venetians come in a handful of beautiful grain colors. They’re lighter than Basswood and can be wiped using a damp cloth, which adds to their longevity.
EXTRAS FOR VENETIAN BLINDS
LADDER TAPE FOR VENETIAN BLINDS
Ladder Tape is a wonderful addition to a Wood or Bamboo Venetian Blind. Instead of a thin cord running down the slats to manoeuvre the blind open and closed, a thicker piece of tape runs down the front.
This leaves a more unique, modern look to your traditional blind.
CLEATS FOR VENETIAN BLINDS
Many customers are concerned about child safety. We can provide, upon request, hold-down cleats for the strings.
When the blind is fully opened, you will be able to wrap the string around the cleat that’s drilled into your wall creating a neater, more child friendly look.
VALANCES FOR VENETIAN BLINDS
Most of the time, valances are straight forward. In the 25mm. Aluminium Venetian range, only the wood-look options come with a valance. We usually quote with and provide a matching valance on all 50mm. Aluminium Venetian Blinds.
Most are the standard “H-headrail” while some manufacturers are moving to the half-round valance. Either way, the valance is a neat and classy addition to a Venetian Blind.
