Basic Structure of a Venetian Blind

Venetian blinds are a fantastic option for achieving privacy. The rotating slat design allows you to adjust your blinds to let in daylight but also block a direct line of sight into your home.

The slats are movable so that they can open outwards or inwards or left closed completely. A brake, or cord lock mechanism, hidden in the top casing, allows you to pull the blinds up. Alternatively, you can let them down part of the way or to keep them held in a stack at the top of the blind frame.

With Venetian blinds, the stack is at the top of the window as that is where all the slats sit when the blind is in the fully raised (or open) position. The stack on wooden Venetian blinds is always greater than that of an aluminium one because of the difference in the slat thickness.
