Venetian Blinds – A Classic That Still Delivers

Looking for something smart, tidy, and built to handle everyday life? Venetian blinds are a proven choice — and for good reason. Whether it’s your home, batch, or office, they’ve got that perfect balance of looks, privacy, and control over how much sun gets in.

Light When You Want It. Shade When You Don’t.

With venetians, you’re in the driver’s seat. Tilt the slats just right and let in as much (or as little) daylight as you like. Handy in bedrooms when you’re not quite ready to face the morning, or in offices where glare on screens is a daily battle.

Keep It Private – Without Shutting Out the World

Need privacy but still want the room to feel bright and open? Easy. Just angle the slats. Great for street-facing windows, bathrooms, or anywhere you want to keep nosy parkers out without living in the dark.

PVC Venetian Blinds – Woodefex Range

If you like the look of timber but need something that can handle a bit of steam and splashes — these are the go. Made right here in Aotearoa, Woodefex venetians are crafted from tough UV-treated polyresin. That means no warping, no cracking — even in kitchens, bathrooms, or laundries where heat and humidity are daily guests.

Available in 50mm slats

Choose from three easy-going neutrals: White, Off-white, or Canvas

Minimum width: 250mm

Classic look, simple to clean, and solid value

Want something a bit warmer and more natural? Our Marupa timber venetians bring that touch of class to any room. Sourced from sustainable plantations and finished with UV-protective coatings, they’re built to last — and look good doing it.

Perfect for lounges, bedrooms, or studies — anywhere you want a bit of texture and tone.

Choosing the Right Slat Width

Not all venetians are created equal — and the width of the slats can make a real difference to how your space looks and feels. Here’s a quick breakdown:

25mm slats – The slimline option. Best for small windows or if you’re chasing that clean, low-profile look. Subtle, sharp, and ideal when space is tight.

50mm slats – The all-rounder. Most Kiwi homes go for this one. Strikes a nice balance between style and function, suits most rooms, and gives you that classic venetian vibe.

60mm slats – Go bold or go home. Perfect for big windows or open-plan areas. They make more of a visual statement and offer great light control. Currently available in white only.

 

Manual or Motorised? Up to You

We keep things simple – you can go old-school or high-tech, depending on what suits your space and lifestyle.

Manual – Cords or wand-controlled. Straightforward, reliable, and easy to repair if needed. Most folks stick with this – it just works.

Motorised – Want to impress the neighbours or just tired of climbing chairs to reach that awkward window? Motorised venetians can be controlled with a remote, wall switch, or even hooked into your smart home setup. Great for hard-to-reach spots or when you just want a bit of luxury.

 

Keeping Them Clean (Without Losing Your Weekend)

Good news: venetians are one of the easier window treatments to look after. Here’s how to keep them looking flash:

Dust regularly with a soft cloth, duster, or vacuum brush attachment.

Wipe marks with a damp cloth and a bit of mild detergent or white vinegar – but don’t go soaking them, especially with timber.

Timber tip – Stick to the care instructions. A light wipe is better than anything harsh. Keep them dry and they’ll age gracefully.

 

Built to Last. Easy to Live With.

At the end of the day, venetian blinds tick all the boxes: practical, good-looking, and surprisingly low-maintenance. Whether you go for PVC, timber, or aluminium, manual or motorised, you’re getting a solution that works across almost any room or setup.

And with SunGuard’s 5-year warranty on both product and workmanship, you can rest easy knowing they’re built for the long haul.

FAQs

Q: How do you operate venetian blinds?

A: 25mm blinds use a wand to tilt the slats and a cord to pull them up or down. 50mm blinds have separate cords for tilt and lift. Straightforward stuff. We can add hold-down clips if wind’s an issue — stops the blinds slapping against the window.

Q: How are venetians installed?

A: Inside the frame or outside. Inside looks cleaner, but you need to allow for the stack when the blind’s up. Say you’ve got a 3m-high PVC blind — stacked, that’s about 308mm.

Q: Where do venetians work best?

A: Depends on the room. PVC is solid in kitchens and bathrooms — doesn’t warp in steam. Aluminium suits tight spots and small windows, especially the 25mm ones. Timber’s better in living areas or bedrooms — warmer feel, more natural look.

Q: What’s the maximum size for venetian blinds?

A: Up to 3000 mm width or drop, depending on material and slat size. Can’t max out both. Larger spans may need split drops or heavier gear.

Q: How long does it take to get them made?

A: Typically, it’s 3 weeks. Custom orders or stock shortages can add a bit more time.

Q: Is there a warranty?

A: Yep. 5 years on the blinds, 5 years on the install.

Q: Do you do motorised venetians too?

A: We do. Manual’s still common — cords or wands. But if the window’s high or you want convenience, motorised works well. Remote, wall switch, or hook it into your smart home.
