Venetian Blinds General information
All of our venetian blinds are manufactured utilising a slimline 26mm alloy headrail colour co-ordinated to the chosen 25mm wide slat as is the cord and ladder webbing. Supported by brackets at no more than 750mm( 30") intervals it is possible to have a single run unit up to a maximum width of 3 metres (9’ 10”) or a maximum drop of 3 metres (9' 10") with a combined surface area of no more than 8.0 sq m (28 sq ft).
It is possible to produce venetians that exceed these tolerances but it only applies to the wider and much less popular 35mm and 50mm slats which means that the headrail used is almost double the size and comes only in white. Also please bear in mind that the afore mentioned tolerances are also set with operability in mind as larger units become extremely cumbersome and wearing.This is especially so with real wood venetians, they are probable the most impractical blind type available due to a combination of weight, deep stack width and the likelihood of warpage due to environmental conditions.
Operation of our slimline venetian blind is by way of wand tilt/turn and cord raise/lower. 35mm, 50mm and all real wood venetian blinds have cord tilt/turn as well as cord raise/lower.
We ask that measurements are taken in millimetres and on a recess basis, this allows the tightest fit possible allowing for the tolerance adjustment that we automatically factor at the time of production. The finished width of the venetian will always be 10mm less overall than the measurement width size provided. This reduction allows for the unobstucted raise and lower of the blind plus of course easy rotation of the individual slats. If you require an outside recess application or specifically need the blind coverage to be accounted then please ensure that you add the above tolerance to your resulting measurment as a minimum amount, and more importantly that you have the additional room required for fitting the blind.
When it comes to child safety and venetian blinds we incorporate a break away connector at the point of cord loopage as standard, further precaution is available by using a cleat which is available on request at no extra charge. Ultimate safety can be achieved by incorporating the venetian blind in a perfect fit frame which eliminates the need for a raise/lower cord completely.
