Venetian blinds have a timeless appeal, full of character and charm. That’s beyond doubt. However, there is a debate to be had about what the best material is for them.
We at EasyFit install both high-quality aluminium and real wooden and faux wooden Venetian blinds. There’s a lot to be said about each material, so let’s explore the unique benefits of aluminium, wood and faux wood to determine which is best for your home.
High-Grade Aluminium
You can’t go wrong with aluminium Venetian blinds. Sleek, modern aesthetics beautifully combine with outstanding performance and durability. This lightweight, strong metal offers the best of both worlds for style and functionality.
The material almost offers a futuristic style upgrade on the classic design that became popular during the 18th century in Europe and the United States.
They are a brilliant choice if you live in a contemporary home, providing a smart, clean aesthetic that complements any modern interior.
Aluminium is very unlikely to break or deform, giving you an ultra-reliable option for your Venetian blinds that is highly durable and stands the test of time.
Due to the nature of its inherent strength and stiffness, aluminium ensures your Venetian blinds will perform as they’re supposed to and that they remain easy to operate.
Furthermore, the metal is super easy to look after and maintain. It’s almost maintenance-free. You’ll only need to dust between the slats.
If you were to spill anything on them by chance, such as red wine, you’d have a simple task of just wiping the aluminium clean. It won’t stain. Essentially, aluminium Venetian blinds last a lifetime and look fabulous for the duration they dress your window or door.
Traditional Beauty Of Wood
Wooden Venetian blinds stunningly embody the genuine heritage of the design.
Thanks to Venetian traders returning from Persia during the Renaissance, the West first encountered the innovative design.
While the original design has come a long way in offering an excellent performance that efficiently regulates light, the use of wood is a tribute to the past. The material imbues your property with a sense of authenticity and prestige that other materials cannot easily replicate.
At EasyFit, we offer an extensive range of colours and finishes for wooden Venetian blinds. You can customise the style to your exact preference and create the most attractive blinds for your living space.
The wood we use is highly durable and treated to resist the rigours of daily life. The material is water-proof so that it can function well in bathrooms and kitchens. Like aluminium, it is simple to clean and wipe down and gives you a hassle-free experience.
Wood captures an allure that is beautifully unique and stands out from the crowd. The material adds a layer of luxury to your Venetian blinds and makes a quite stunning impression on whoever visits your home. The style of wood speaks throughout the ages and is the essence of elegance.
Affordable Alternative
Faux wooden Venetian blinds re-create the magical appearance of real wood but are the more affordable option that can suit all budgets.
They perform all year round and are made from a highly durable composite material that excels in wet and humid conditions. Faux wood lasts longer than real wood and is practically maintenance-free.
Because they are composed of synthetic materials, faux wood is easy to customise, and we offer a brilliant range of colours and styles to match your home.
They are designed to stand the test of time and don’t crack or split, making them extremely cost-effective and versatile for multiple uses around your property.
Faux wood won’t let you down, and its remarkable visual imitation of real wood is good enough to fool anyone – faux in name, genuine in performance.

There are no real drawbacks to any of these Venetian Blind materials. Each one has its own properties that shine for individual tastes. What’s apparent is that each material does an exceptional job in your window or door. It essentially comes down to your style preference and tastes.
