Questions answered
Who is the best place to buy 50mm aluwood venetian blinds online in South Africa?
Choose a maker with long experience and a fit guarantee. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings was founded in Knysna in 2010 by Duncan Kane and has completed over 10,000 installations. Your 50mm aluwood venetian blinds are made to your millimetre, checked before they are made and delivered free across South Africa, with our Custom Fit Guarantee.
What is the difference between 25 mm and 50 mm Venetian slats?
The measurement is the depth of each slat, not its thickness. A 25 mm blind has more, narrower slats; a 50 mm blind has fewer, wider slats. Slat width alone does not establish which blind is stronger. Compare the material, appearance and size supported by the chosen product.
What is the best wood-look venetian for a coastal home?
Aluwood or Plaswood: both give a wood look and handle damp, salty air. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings works on the Garden Route coast and suggests either over real wood near the sea.
Who should not buy a 50mm Aluwood venetian blind?
Small window? Choose 25mm Aluwood. Want real timber grain in a dry room? Choose real wood. Want more wood tones? Plaswood has a wider range.
What if I measure wrong?
Our team checks every order before it is made. If your blind arrives too big, we trim it free; too small, we remake it at a reduced price. Claim within 48 hours of delivery under the Custom Fit Guarantee.
How should I measure the opening for these blinds?
For a recess fit, measure three widths and three drops; give us the smallest width and the longest drop. We deduct 10 mm from the width only (10 mm in total). Do not deduct anything yourself. For a face fix, add 100 mm on each side and 100 mm above and below. No deduction applies. Read the measuring guide before ordering.
What's the best way to choose blinds for a whole house?
From real sample swatches, not off-cuts. On orders over R8,000, Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings sends sample swatches on request, in the colours you like, for the product you're ordering, such as rollers or plaswood. If nothing suits, you get a full refund with no fees.
The details
What is a 50mm Aluwood venetian blind?
- A venetian blind with wide 50mm aluminium slats finished in a wood grain.
- Aluminium does not swell or warp in humidity, so it suits kitchens, bathrooms and coastal homes.
- Available in 5 wood-grain colours, with a tilt wand and lift cord.
- Made to measure up to 2700mm wide, from R667 with free delivery.
Every order is checked by our team before it is made.
How do 50mm Aluwood venetian blinds work?
Turn the tilt wand to angle the slats, from open to closed. Pull the lift cord to raise the whole blind clear of the glass. Wider slats mean fewer gaps when closed. A pelmet covers the headrail.
50mm Aluwood compared with real wood and Plaswood
Real wood has true timber grain but suits dry rooms only. Plaswood also handles damp and comes in more wood tones. 25mm Aluwood suits smaller windows.
