The slats rotate ~180°, directing light and controlling the view — the stepless adjustment a fabric curtain cannot give. The perforated aluminium slat has a separate function. Micro holes pass daylight but cut the sightline — the outside is seen while the inside stays hidden. That is why it is the standard on office and façade floors. Selection Guide **Which Material for Which Space?** — Humidity, prestige and view needs set the material. See the four examples below. [Office and Clinic Aluminium slats.

Sent requests are merged into one file. 02. **Material and Slat Chosen** — Aluminium, wood or fabric, at 16/25/50 mm. The window ratio decides. 03. **Slats Strung** — The headrail is assembled and the slats are strung. The delivery date is settled at quote approval. 04. **Fitting or Courier** — Fitting is done by the crew within the service boundary. For out-of-town addresses, a pack with installation video ships.

Comfort on high glazing. ## Questions About Venetian Blinds How is the slat size chosen? There are three standards: 16 mm for narrow joinery and door glazing, 25 mm balanced for general use, 50 mm on the wooden model and wide windows. The choice is made together according to the window ratio. Which Venetian is used in humid rooms? Aluminium is preferred in bathrooms and kitchens — it does not rust, is unaffected by humidity and wipes clean. Wooden slats warp in humidity and belong in living areas. Is the light control really precise? The slats tilt ~180°. Light is directed to the ceiling, the floor or eye level. With perforated aluminium slats you can see out without showing the inside. Can a Venetian blind be motorised? Yes. Height and slat angle are controlled separately by remote. On heavy wood and 50 mm slats, a geared chain also reduces the pulling force. How do I clean a Venetian blind? Slats are wiped one by one with a static duster or a slightly damp cloth. On the aluminium model there is no fear of water; on wood, a nearly dry cloth is used rather than a damp one. How do I send measurements? By message, call or the form — all three channels are gathered in the same file. The net opening and a window photo are enough. The slat size is chosen together according to the window ratio. ## Which Venetian Blind?
