ABOUT VENETIAN BLINDS
Venetian blinds are constructed from horizontal slats, with threads or tapes which hold them at the correct spacing and tilt them as required. The design originated in Venice in the eighteenth century. Modern Venetian blinds are usually made from aluminium slats, which may be given a wide variety of colours and finishes, and may be perforated to allow the passage of diffuse light when closed. Venetian blinds are also available with timber slats, which may have natural or painted finish.
