What is an aluminum venetian blind?
An aluminum venetian blind is a horizontal blind made of thin, slightly curved aluminum slats that tilt to adjust light and raise to clear the window. Slats are usually 16 mm or 25 mm wide. Aluminum blinds are durable, moisture-proof, affordable and give very fine control over the angle of light.
Small slats, big control
Aluminum blinds are the quiet achievers of the window covering world. They take up almost no space, they fit shallow window frames where other products cannot go, and they let you set the light exactly where you want it, slat by slat.
They also do not mind moisture, they do not rust, and they wipe clean. That makes them a favourite for basements, laundry rooms, home offices and commercial spaces from Dartmouth office parks to clinics in Corner Brook.

- Slat width: 16 mm (5/8") for a fine, minimal look; 25 mm (1") for standard use

Frequently asked questions
Are aluminum blinds good for bathrooms?
Yes. Aluminum blinds do not absorb moisture, rust or warp, so they work well in bathrooms, laundry rooms and basements. They wipe clean with a damp cloth.
What is the difference between venetian and mini blinds?
"Venetian blind" describes any horizontal slatted blind. "Mini blind" usually means a venetian blind with narrow 25 mm (1") slats. Our aluminum venetian blinds come in 16 mm and 25 mm slats, so they include what most people call mini blinds.
Are aluminum blinds good for offices?
Yes. Aluminum venetian blinds are durable, affordable, easy to maintain and give precise glare control on screens, which is why they are common in offices, clinics and schools.
How much do aluminum blinds cost?
Custom aluminum venetian blinds typically cost about $150 to $400 per window installed, making them one of the most affordable custom options.
Do aluminum blinds dent easily?
Thin slats can crease if bent hard, but quality aluminum blinds hold up well in normal use. A bent slat can usually be replaced without replacing the whole blind.
