Venetian Blinds
Measured & fitted across Burscough, Ormskirk, Southport & Tarleton
Venetian blinds are made of horizontal slats that tilt to control light and privacy. They come in real wood, faux wood and aluminium, and they’re one of the best choices for kitchens and bathrooms because the slats wipe clean easily.

Real wood, faux wood or aluminium?
Real wood brings warmth and a premium look to living rooms and bedrooms. Faux wood gives the same look but is resistant to moisture, so it’s ideal for bathrooms. Aluminium is slim, light and affordable, and comes in a wide range of colours.
Decorative tapes can be added over the cords for a softer, more traditional finish.
Light control at your fingertips
Venetian blinds give more precise light control than almost any other blind. Tilt the slats slightly to soften glare, angle them for daylight with privacy, or close them fully for shade. Raise the blind completely when you want a clear view.
That makes them ideal for home offices and rooms with a TV, where you want to cut glare without losing daylight.
Which rooms suit venetians?
Faux wood and aluminium venetians are among the best blinds for kitchens and bathrooms, because they cope with steam and wipe clean in seconds. Real wood suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms, where its natural grain adds warmth.
For uPVC windows and doors, we also offer perfect fit venetians that clip into the frame with no drilling.
Good to know
- Real wood is not recommended for steamy rooms; choose faux wood or aluminium there.
- The slats need a regular dust, but they are quick to wipe clean.
- Wider 50mm slats give a clearer view when open; slimmer slats suit smaller windows.
- Cords are fitted with child-safety devices as standard.

Venetian Blinds: your questions answered
Can wooden venetian blinds go in a bathroom?
We recommend faux wood for bathrooms. It looks like real wood but won’t warp in damp conditions.
How much do venetian blinds cost?
Aluminium venetians are one of the most affordable options, and real wood costs the most, with faux wood in between. The exact price depends on the size and finish, and we give you an itemised quote at your free home visit.
Real wood or faux wood: which is better?
Real wood is lighter and has a natural grain, so it’s lovely in living rooms and bedrooms. Faux wood looks very similar but is moisture-resistant, so it’s the better choice for bathrooms and kitchens.
Are venetian blinds blackout?
Not fully. Closed slats block most light, but a little comes through the cord holes and around the edges. For bedrooms, pair them with curtains or look at blackout roller blinds or blind screens.
How do I clean venetian blinds?
Close the slats and dust them with a soft cloth or duster. Aluminium and faux wood can also be wiped with a damp cloth; real wood is best kept to a dry dust.
What slat size should I choose?
Slimmer 25mm slats suit smaller windows and a modern look, often in aluminium. 50mm slats are the most popular for wood and faux wood, and give a clearer view when open. We’ll bring samples so you can compare.
Are venetian blinds good for kitchens?
Yes. Faux wood and aluminium are ideal near the sink or hob because they wipe clean and cope with steam. Real wood is better kept for drier rooms.
Do venetian blinds help keep heat in?
Wood and faux wood slats insulate better than thin aluminium ones, so they’re a good choice for rooms that feel chilly.
What are decorative tapes?
Fabric tapes that run down the blind over the cords. They hide the cord holes, let a little less light through and give a softer, more tailored finish.
Can venetian blinds go on doors?
Yes. For uPVC doors, perfect fit venetian blinds clip onto the door itself, so they stay put when you open it.
