On door use the fixing part, corner connectors and screws are included. The aluminium louvre is unaffected by moisture and sunlight, does not fade and wipes clean with a damp cloth. Suited to bathrooms, [kitchens](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/kitchen-venetian-blind/) and heavy-use areas. As the louvre width shortens, more louvres fit the same glass height. Gaps narrow and tilt control reaches millimetric precision. That is why 16 mm gives the most balanced result on glass-partitioned office walls and door-top glazing. In corporate projects 16 mm is often standardised as a single size. When all door glazing and partitions come out in the same profile the facade stays consistent. Spare parts and mounting hardware consolidate into a single type. ### Technical Specifications 16 mm Aluminium Venetian Blind build data Material - Louvre Corrosion-free aluminium louvre: Aluminium - Louvre Width The slimmest louvre width: 16 mm - Mechanism Wand tilt mechanism: Wand / Chain Mounting - Mounting Adapts to door glazing: Inside / Outside Recess Use - Control Precise light direction: Lift + Tilt Compatibility - Compatibility Narrow glazing and door panels: Office · Home The compact body hangs on brackets inside the recess or above door glazing. Its light build allows a fast install. On door applications a bottom fixing bracket is added. The brackets sit at equal spacing. The slim body carries evenly even on two brackets. On inside-recess measurement the install is quick. - The clear width and height of the glazing or door panel is taken (cm). - For door glazing the leaf thickness is noted. - The mounting surface is written. Inside recess, on the wall or above the door. - On door use the manufacturing measurement of the panel — not the glass size — is taken as the basis. Corner joints are factored in. On door glazing a bottom fixing that stops the louvres swinging is recommended. The bracket is included in the package. ## Narrow-opening and door-glazing applications On limited surfaces — a door leaf pane, an office partition, a narrow side light — the louvre proportion sets the look. The 16 mm louvre does not carry the crowded feel a thick louvre gives on such surfaces. In the closed position it reads as a flat, technical face. On door-top applications the leaf movement shakes the louvres. That is why the body is held at the top by brackets and at the bottom by a fixing bracket. With the bracket fitted the system makes no noise as the leaf opens and closes — the louvres stay in place. In offices with partition walls the sightline between the two rooms is adjusted instantly with the tilt wand. The louvres close during a meeting. In working mode the half-open position lets daylight through to both sides. ## Control layout and easy maintenance The tilt wand and the lift cord gather on the same side. In homes with children the cord ties to a tensioning bracket fixed to the wall — no hanging loop is left. The safety bracket comes in the box and is fitted at install. The aluminium louvre is unaffected by moisture. It holds its form on steamy kitchen and bathroom glazing. Cleaning is done in one direction with a damp cloth while the louvres are closed. No need to take it down for washing. The part moved most in daily use is the tilt wand. The gearing works inside the closed body so it is protected from dust. Worn cords and wand parts are consumables that can be renewed independently of the system. ## Care, durability and production The aluminium louvre is produced from 20–30 micron electrostatically painted strip. Its surface is coated with a lacquer that does not hold static charge. A microfibre cloth is enough for weekly dusting. Kitchen grease and steam marks come off with a damp cloth in a single pass. The most common damage to a narrow louvre is bending. The cause is usually hard contact or a child’s interference. A bent louvre cannot be straightened in place but is unclipped one by one and replaced. A full blind replacement is not needed. Every product is cut to clear measurement at the Gebze facility. Louvre count, ladder-cord tension and tilt mechanism are calibrated for the same opening. The flat-pack box ships with the brackets, fixing hardware and mounting diagram together. ## When 16 mm is the right choice Once the glass width drops below 80 cm a thick louvre crowds the surface; 16 mm keeps its proportion on panels below that limit. Door glazing, side mullion lights and partition walls are the model’s main use areas. On the same wide opening the decision depends on the use scenario. On an office partition where tilt is adjusted often, the slim louvre’s sensitivity stands out. On a corridor light rarely touched, 25 mm stays more economical. The unproven case is the wide facade — above 150 cm of glass the 16 mm louvre count grows unnecessarily and the cleaning load rises. At those sizes 25 mm or 50 mm wood is recommended. ## Order and delivery process The process starts with the clear glazing size. Width, height and mounting surface are reported. For a door application the leaf thickness is noted. With these three details a price is shared the same day. Production is made to measure after the order. The bottom-fixing bracket is included as standard in the door-glazing package. On-site installation is carried out within Istanbul and Kocaeli. Flat-pack shipping goes to other provinces and countries. The box contains the brackets, screws and diagram. As the package is light, the door model is the most economical series on freight cost. For corporate buyers requesting a sample, a single-panel example is produced. After approval the same specification is applied to all doors. A single size both speeds up installation and simplifies spare-part management. ## Louvre surface and colour match The electrostatically painted louvre comes in matt and gloss options. The matt surface does not glare in an office, the gloss surface wipes more easily. Choosing the same tone as the door joinery makes the panel invisible. On door and partition applications the body and bracket colour matters as much as the louvre colour. White hardware on a white door gives integrity. Mixed-colour orders are combined into a single job. Surface quality is set in the powder-coating oven. It resists knocks and scratches. On frequently used door applications the surface keeps its first look for years. ## Questions About 16 mm Aluminium Venetian Blind Can the 16 mm aluminium venetian blind be fitted to a door? It is fitted above door glazing with hanging brackets plus bottom fixing. It does not swing with the leaf movement. If the louvres bend can they be changed? Single-louvre replacement is possible. The bent louvre is unclipped and a new one fitted. What is the difference between 16 mm and 25 mm? At the same height 16 mm carries more louvres. The tilt adjustment is finer and the closed look denser. On wide windows 25 mm, on narrow surfaces 16 mm is the more balanced proportion. Can the louvre colour be chosen? It is taken from the standard colour card. On corporate projects painting to a RAL code can be requested. How much room does it take when stacked? The louvres form a slim pack at the top; at 16 mm the pack height is lower than the other louvre widths — the risk of clashing with an opening sash is small. How long does installation take? A single panel including the door-glazing application finishes in about 30–40 minutes on average. Fitting the bottom-fixing bracket is included in that time. Does dust leak in when closed? In the fully closed position the louvres sit into each other. Dust passage inside is negligible. Which side is the control on? The cord and wand direction is taken at order. Bringing it to the door-handle side eases access. Is the recess depth enough? The recess depth is asked before the order. It is compared with the body size and the right mounting type recommended. How does the shipment package arrive? The body and louvres ship in a slim protective box. The brackets, screws and mounting diagram are in the package. Does it cut sound on an office partition? A venetian blind is not an acoustic partition. Fitted to a glass partition it provides sightline control — the acoustic behaviour belongs to the glass itself. Which way does the tilt wand face? The wand stays on the front face of the body. The body direction is fixed in production — reverse mounting is not recommended. ## Other Aluminium Venetian Blinds Models 16 mm Aluminium Venetian Blind is built around slim louvre, moisture resistance, easy cleaning.
