Venetian Blinds

Aluminium Venetian blinds (sometimes called metal blinds) are one of the more traditional blinds on the market. This timeless classic combines everything you need in a blind. They are available in a wide range of colours and patterns ensuring there are options for every room. From neutral plains to bold bright colours, there really is lots of choice. They are available in 15mm, 25mm, 35mm and 50mm slats.

Venetian blinds are a great solution for really large windows up to 3m wide. As they are made from lightweight aluminium, even the largest blinds are easy to lift and operate.

They are suitable for almost any window. The option to tilt and turn the louvres provides great light control and privacy. They can be raised up to allow a clear window or can be closed to reduce light and give privacy.
