Wooden horizontal blinds are not only used in classic interiors, because of the trendy possibilities you will also find it more and more in more modern interiors.
Wooden blinds consist of a steel upper part that is covered with a valance in the same colour as the wooden slats so that there is no contrast between the different materials. You can perfectly finish your product according to your own style by choosing a laddercord or laddertape.
In addition to a beautiful look, a wooden blind is also very functional. You can determine the incidence of light and/or privacy yourself by orienting the slats. When the slats are completely closed, you can also completely darken a room.
The window decoration is placed between the window frame or the walls.
Measure the width in different places each time and then take the smallest size.
Finished width = smallest measured width - 1cm
Next, also measure the height in different places and also take the smallest size here.
Finished height = smallest measured height - 1 cm
Finished height = smallest measured height - 2 cm
The window decoration is placed on the window frame or the wall.
In this case, you can choose the desired overlap.
To do so, measure the width of the window frame and choose the overlap.
Finished width = measured width + desired overlap
You can also choose the desired overlap in height.
To do so, measure the height of the window frame and choose the overlap.
Finished height = measured height + desired overlap
It was decided at European level that interior blinds and window decoration should meet new requirements in terms of Child Safety. These new requirements relate to the risk that cord and/or chain loops can pose to young children. (European Standards: EN 13120, EN 16433 and EN 16434)
The general rule is that the controls must always be at least 150 cm above the ground. In the ordering process you should always specify the installation height. Based on this, we will provide the chain or cord control with the correct length. Each product is also supplied with a safety device with which you must tension the chain or cord (laterally). This should ensure that young children cannot stick their heads through the cord or chain loop and thus avoid the risk of strangulation.
