Venetian Blinds – What You Need To Consider Before Buying
Venetian blinds offer a range of functional advantages and as such need careful consideration before deciding if this is the type of blind you not only want, but need.
Although there are now two alternative materials, aluminium and wood, used in the manufacture and the operation is the same for both. Essentially rotating slats operated by either a rod or cords that turn the slats roughly 180° (degrees).
In recent years a trend has formed where the wood venetian blind is chosen for style, for instance in living rooms to co-ordinate with wooden flooring or as a window feature against interior design show inspired bare walls. As wood is a natural product which could warp in heated or damp environments it is rarely used in bathrooms or conservatories. Whilst it is the customers’ choice where to fit your chosen blinds, manufactures will often not honour guarantees is they do warp in those locations.
Aluminium venetian blinds whilst still very popular in offices are now a staple in the home for bathrooms, kitchen, home offices and bedrooms. With the choice of finishes ever increasing the design feature is becoming more important. Wood effect finishes and stardust or scratched silver effects are very popular as opposed to the traditional plain neutral colours of white and cream.
The most repeated question regarding venetian blinds are, how do you clean them? Unfortunately the very design nature of horizontal slats lends itself to collecting dust. However it is probably unfair to blame it all on the blind. If the blinds are rotated on a daily basis dust accumulation is greatly reduced and there are ostrich feather dusters readily available that clean them really well. To be fair, anything that isn’t cleaned will collect dust!
Probably the most unprepared consideration is the amount of light you want to let into the room. With both types of venetians available is three or four slat sizes ranging from 16mm in aluminium and 25mm in wood to 50mm in both there is a difference in the amount of light let into the room. The smaller 16mm will let in approximately 25% of the light that the large 50mm will let in. With more slatting to cover the window as the gaps between each are much narrower they are often used in offices to reduce what the outside world can see whilst still letting in some light. The 50mm is the most popular size in wooden venetian blinds and 25mm still the most common choice for the aluminium version.
Choosing either type of venetian blind it’s important you consider the points raised above. Deciding which colour to go for be discussed in the next article.

Vertical blinds work pretty well, at least ours do..
