A venetian blind is an under-rated & clever thing. With a venetian, you can exclude the light entirely, direct it upwards to bounce it off the ceiling for a soft diffused light effect, or direct it downwards. Try doing that with a roller!

Remember to look out for our woodgrain effect designs, wood look without the cost. Wood-look blinds offer the appearance of timber without the cost. Choose from Aluwood, an alloy venetian in 4 colours of 25mm slat and 2 colours of 50mm slat or Aluwood vertical blinds in two colours at 50mm louvres or 89mm in 4 colours. Lastly we offer Timberman, a polymer rigid vane vertical blind in 2 designs.

Buyblinds venetians offer you clean modern lines, & lots of colours in 25mm slat width.
16mm or 25mm slats? -It is largely a matter of personal choice. The 16mm looks really good in smaller openings and occupies less of the window sill.

The 25mm costs a tad less...

Alloy venetians last for years and don't break the bank.
