Buying Guide: Venetian Blinds
Blinds give you precise control over light angle — ideal for home offices and bedrooms.
Inside or outside mount?
Inside-mount blinds (aluminium or wood) are easy to install and suit most rooms. Outside-mount blinds are heavier and need professional installation, but insulate against summer heat far better.
Choosing the material
Aluminium: affordable, moisture-resistant, ideal for kitchen and bathroom. Natural wood or PVC: visually warmer, better suited to rooms with a traditional Arabic feel.
Material comparison
| Material | Moisture resistance | Look | Approx. price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminium | Excellent | Modern, minimal | Low |
| Natural wood | Poor | Warm, premium | High |
| PVC/faux wood | Excellent | Wood-look | Medium |
💡 Tip: for bedrooms, choose slats 5 cm wide or more for better light-blocking while sleeping.

Measuring correctly
For an inside mount, measure the exact inside width at 3 points (top, middle, bottom) and use the smallest measurement to avoid friction.
