Help on using Metal Venetian Blinds

Aluminium venetian blinds offer a modern and practical window treatment. These blinds can offer a good level of privacy as well as sun protection.

Things to think about

When using venetian blinds, you should look at the window and see what obstacles you have in your window. If you have handles that stick out you should bear in mind that you will have to move the blinds out from the window to ensure that the blind does not catch against the handles. Make sure you will be happy with the position of the blind if you do so.

For windows that receive a lot of sun, one solution is the perforated version of these blinds, that when closed offer a good level of privacy, but still allow light to diffuse into the room. If you are looking to block out sun, then use the solid slats. Tilting the blinds upwards is a good way of diverting sun away from the room, but still allowing some light into the room.

Metal Venetians are compact and fit discreetly, with a shallow profile when raised. Meaning when you raise the blinds, there is little if any obstruction in the window. Slat sizes range from 15mm to 50mm or more, allowing you to go for a range of styles.

Caring for your Aluminium Venetian Blind

Venetian blinds should be cleaned at regular intervals to keep dust build up to a minimum. In kitchens or bathrooms any wet splashes should be removed immediately to avoid staining.

Slats should be vacuumed regularly with an upholstery brush and periodically given a thorough clean with a special cleaning tool which usually comprises fingers of foam sponge or microfiber velour which fit between the slats.
