What are Venetian blinds used for? There are many types of blinds to protect us from the sun inside the home: roller blinds, pleated blinds, Japanese panels, and… Venetian blinds. They are increasingly becoming the centerpiece of bedrooms and living rooms, but… What are these types of blinds used for?
It’s a timeless classic, and it seems like it needs no introduction, but in recent years it’s been reinvented and is gaining a lot of interest in home decor. However, purchasing curtains is an investment for many years. Therefore, it’s understandable that every detail is important when making your decision.
Versatile and very flexible in terms of light management
Whether made of wood or aluminum, Venetian blinds offer great versatility for managing the light in any room.
Like other types of blinds, Venetian blinds allow us to control the amount of light entering the room. We’re clear about that, and we love them for enjoying shade in our interiors. What’s special about them is that they do so with great precision. That is, we can not only raise and lower the blinds, placing them at the desired height, but also tilt the slats to direct the light to our liking. During the day, they allow us, for example, to avoid reflections on a computer or television screen, and at night, they help us sleep by darkening the room. They are also capable of creating a stunning light and shadow effect. That’s why they are so practical and easy to use in family life. Furthermore, their different finishes and colors allow us to combine them with interior designs designed for every style.
Available with stainless aluminum slats, making it an ideal solution for humid and salty environments, or with wooden slats, for an exclusive finish that enhances the aesthetics of the room and makes it more welcoming.
They insulate from cold and heat
Besides being very pretty and cozy curtains, they are good insulators against high and low temperatures. This way, we can maintain the right temperature in the room no matter the time of year. We’ll also share a trick that will help us achieve this goal.
Please note: To heat the room in winter, it is recommended that the concave side of the slats face inwards, and to avoid overheating in summer, the concave side should face outwards.
Privacy
The slats are completely opaque, so when they’re closed, they guarantee complete privacy. On the other hand, if we discreetly tilt the slats, we can see outside without being seen.
They withstand 100% humidity
We’re referring to whether we choose an aluminum or PVC finish. These models can be used in rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens, without the risk of deterioration. They can also be used in areas near the sea and beaches.
Easy maintenance
They’re an ideal choice for kitchens, high-traffic rooms, and areas where there’s a lot of humidity or near the sea. They don’t require extensive cleaning maintenance. To remove stains and dust, simply wipe with a dry or damp cloth.
Cleaning Tips:
• Lower the blinds and close the slats to dust their surfaces with gentle, up-and-down movements.
• Then open the slats and clean each one separately. To make things easier, you can also use a “branched” duster specifically for Venetian blinds, which can clean several slats at once.
Suitable for people with allergies
Since they’re not made of textiles like most curtains, they’re ideal for people with allergies, as they don’t accumulate as many mites or allergens, making them very hygienic. A brief maintenance session to remove a little dust will suffice.
