Aluminium wood effect venetian blinds.

The Venetian horizontally slatted blinds were originally the only alternative to the roller blind for sun protection. Today they have evolved from the wide slatted cumbersome blind into a co-ordinated and integral part of today's office and home furnishing scene. Whilst still retaining the original benefits of light control, privacy, protection for furnishings, durability and security, they now have the added extra dimension of fashion colours, the effect created by different slat widths which include 25mm and 15mm micro slats and options such as perforated slats which make them a superb choice for any office or home environment.

The concept of Venetian blinds dates back to the 18th century. The blinds were initially made of wooden slats and were used to regulate the amount of light and ventilation in the Venetian homes. The design allowed the slats to be tilted or raised, giving the residents control over the amount of sunlight and air entering the room.
