What Are Venetian Blinds?

Venetian blinds are a popular window covering made from horizontal slats, which can be tilted to control light and privacy or fully raised for an open view. Available in a variety of materials, such as metal and aluminium, ready-made Venetian blinds offer a clean, streamlined look that suits both modern and traditional interiors.

How to Measure for Venetian Blinds?

To ensure the best fit, always start by deciding whether you want to fit your Venetian blinds inside or outside the window recess. You can use a steel tape measure to record the width and drop in millimetres, measuring at three different points to account for any variation. If measuring for the inside, use the smallest measurements. For the outside, add about 7cm on each side to ensure it’s big enough. We always recommend double-checking your measurements before making a purchase. Our Venetian blind measuring guide can provide more information.

What Sizes do Venetian Blinds Come In?

Our ready-made Venetian blinds are available in a wide range of standard widths and drops to suit most window styles. Ready-made Venetian blinds are available with maximum drops of 160cm, and widths range up to 180cm.If your window falls outside of standard sizes, you might want to consider our made-to-measure Venetian blinds for a perfectly tailored finish.

How to Shorten Venetian Blinds?

To shorten Venetian blinds, you'll need to remove the bottom rail and take out the excess slats, before reattaching the bottom rail at the desired length. Be sure to follow step-by-step instructions carefully, or speak to one of our team for guidance.

How to Cut Venetian Blinds to Size?

If your blinds are slightly too wide, they can often be trimmed at home using a fine-toothed saw and suitable tools. Carefully mark the new width on both the headrail and the slats, before trimming them evenly. Please note you should always check the product details first, as not all Venetian blinds are suitable for cutting.

How to Install Venetian Blinds

Installing Venetian blinds is straightforward with the right tools. Each set comes with fittings and instructions. Typically, you'll mark and drill holes for the brackets, secure them in place, and then clip the headrail into position. Our team is always happy to help if you need extra advice, and our detailed guide provides easy-to-follow instructions.
