The
PVC venetian blind is available only in 50mm width slatting.
The blind comes standard with valance and ladder string. If you require ladder
tape (the broad tape) use the same examples as for the wood venetian blinds and
either colour coordinate them or choose something totally contrasting.Please
note that the lift control and tilter control will be on opposite sides of the
blind. Should the lift control be on the lefthand side, the tilter mechanism
will be on the right and vice versa. The reason being that one needs more
ladder on the Modwood than on the wood and the first ladder station starts too
close to the edge to fit in both control and tilter neatly. Should you wish for
the control and the tilter to be on the same side please request on order but
be aware that it might look slightly unbalanced.
This product is made from a high quality PVC which is environment friendly. BUT REMEMBER IT IS A PVC PRODUCT which means there is no guarantee on warping, bowing, discolouring etc especially the dark colours such as mahogany and cherry which draw sun.
They
are highly suitable for places with humidity (different to heat buildup) and
where moisture is prevalent which makes this one of the most robust products to
install. It is important though that there is ventilation as heat buildup and
wetness will cause problems. The temperature between blind and window can be
double the temperature in the sun. The PVC slatting is quite safe to use in
moist areas but high concentrations of moisture can cause corrosion of the
headrail whether aluminium or metal. There is a difference between humidity
caused by steam yet enough ventilation and humiditiy where windows are not
opened for long periods of time where one can actually smell the wetness /
dampness. Even damp or clammy walls can cause problems to the blinds.
Modwood blinds are 35% heavier than real wood and large blinds are not suitable
for areas where they have to be lifted regularly.They are only suitable inside
showers if there is ventilation for them to dry out and they are not suitable
for exterior use.
