Each slat cut exactly to length and threaded onto the ladder tape — made-to-measure you can see.
The benefit
In the study, hobby or sewing room good light matters — bright enough for detail, but without glare and reflections. That is exactly what aluminium venetian blinds provide.
Reflections on the screen, workpiece or paper disappear as soon as you tilt the slats — the daylight stays. This way you work relaxed and focused, even when the sun is low.

For detailed work you need plenty of but even light. Via the slat angle you control the brightness steplessly and direct the daylight to where you need it.

Closed slats keep curious eyes out and create a calm working atmosphere — without darkening the room completely.

Buying advice
In the workspace the Light comes first. Aluminium venetian blinds are ideal here because they don't just shut out daylight but dose it: via the slat angle you steplessly control how much light enters and from which direction — decisive when reflections on the screen or workpiece are a nuisance.
For the slat width the following applies: 25 mm is the all-rounder. On small windows in sewing or craft rooms 16 mm looks finer, on large workshop windows 50 mm gives a calm look with a clear view.
On robustness: in rooms with dust, shavings or moisture aluminium plays to its strengths. The slats are dimensionally stable, corrosion-resistant and wipeable with a damp cloth — no taking down, no washing. This makes the venetian blind the ideal covering for a hobby workshop, studio and home office.
And on the Installation: in the reveal the worktop by the window stays free, in front of the recess the venetian blind covers more generously. With clamp brackets it works on many windows without any drilling — handy when the workspace is in a rented flat.

Frequently asked questions
Because the venetian blind doses the light instead of merely shielding it: with the slat angle you steplessly adjust brightness and light direction — ideal for avoiding reflections on a screen or work surface. A roller blind is either up or down; the venetian blind can do everything in between.
Very much so. Aluminium slats are dimensionally stable, corrosion-resistant and wipeable with a damp cloth — dust, shavings or paint splashes are easy to remove. This makes the venetian blind more robust than any fabric covering.
Venetian blinds darken strongly, but a fine rim of light remains at the slat edges. If you occasionally need it really dark — for photography, say — combine the venetian blind with a Blackout roller blind.
For small windows the 16 mm slat looks finest and most delicate. 25 mm is the robust all-rounder for most rooms, 50 mm suits large workroom windows.
That depends on window size, slat width and operation. In the Venetian blind configurator you can calculate a guide price for your dimensions in a few clicks — no registration needed. A binding quotation follows at the home consultation.
