Our Wooden Venetian blinds are manufactured from high quality Marupa (Simarouba amara). This an extremely durable and lightweight plantation timber sourced from sustainable plantation. Marupa is coated with the latest UV coatings available to ensure lasting protection. All blinds come with colour co-ordinated pelmet, cords, tapes and tassels. We use a 50mm slat. Please note the timber slat ends are not painted. When you raise your Venetians, they are locked off on a metal cord lock. Frequent locking off in the same place will wear the cords and they will fray. For that reason we suggest tilting as required and raising when you need to open the window or clean the window. If you are ordering this style of blind for a window you want to be able to see your view and you will be inclined to pull it up often, its recommended you consider a roller blind instead. Regardless of if you order inside our outside fit we do take a deduction off the size you order.
Marupa Venetians can be made up to 2400mm wide. If you have a window wider than 2400mm, you'll need to order multiple sets of Venetians and install them side-by-side to cover the full width of the window. You could request a common pelmet, for this, this would need to be requested in the comment section of the order. Please note common pelmets will increase the length of your parcels and we may need to send you a freight fee to account for this. For example, if your order was for two 1250mm wide blinds and you request a 2500mm common pelmet, this would increase the freight fee as your longest item is now 2500mm.
If you are ordering for a window next to a front or back door you could request hold down clips in the comment section of the order. We will supply small clips for you to fasten blind securely at the bottom. Also, usually this scenario is technically inside fit but you could request a return for the side of the blind that is exposed to the room. A return is a side piece of pelmet to cover the exposed side of the track. Returns are always supplied with outside fit 50mm Venetians. Please note the timber slat ends are not painted though.
Narrow Venetians 300mm-450mm wide will have split control sides. That means the tilt cord and lifting cord will be at opposite ends as there isn't enough room inside track to have both mechanism on same side. On the online order you can only pick one control side. But in comment section you can request which end is tilt and which end is lift if this applies to you. Contact us if you need more information for any of the above.
