Which are easier to clean: wooden or aluminium Venetian blinds?

In the majority of cases, blinds created using aluminium are easier to clean than wooden Venetian blinds. This is due to the material itself, which can easily be dusted or wiped using the majority of cleaning products without fear of damage or staining. Alternatively, Venetian blinds created from hardwood will have specific needs depending on the type of wood and are more likely to absorb liquids, meaning additional purchases such as wood treatments or specific cleaning products might be required for maintenance.

Do Venetian blinds offer privacy?

Yes! Venetian blinds are the perfect way to add privacy to your home without having to compromise on the amount of light that you let in. When the slats are fully rotated closed, Venetian blinds are akin to blackout blinds, completely concealing the contents of your home. But due to the nature of the slats, they'll also let some light in, meaning you can enjoy the best of both worlds with ease.
