Horizontal blinds. Also known as Venetian blinds, are one of the most popular products used for window decoration and shading. Their structure enables both pulling up and down of the blind, as well as setting horizontal slats at any angle. Together with the option of selecting the slat width, horizontal blinds ensure the widest adjustment of light penetration in the room among all available types of blinds and roller blinds. The possibility of using various materials such as aluminium, natural wood or bamboo as well as decorative accessories allows to give the a completely different character- from modern to classical and stylish. A wide range of colours of aluminium and wooden slats enables matching and emphasizing a window cover in any room.
Aluminium tapes which are used for producing horizontal blinds are available in the thickness range from 0.21 mm to 0.24 mm. This is the thickest tape available on the market, which is characteristic for exceptional durability. Our offer includes the comprehensive palette of colours in various pain coat options – polish, mat, pearl, perforated, brushed aluminium, etc. We offer three slat sizes to our customers: the most subtle 16 mm version which will match small window recesses ideally, the most popular version of 25 mm which is a universal size suitable for every interior and most windows, and 50 mm – adding an exceptional style to medium-sized and larger rooms. 50 mm width slats may be used in the RETRO system, combining the classical system style and wooden accessories with modern aluminium. An original accessory are metal endings of cords available in five colours: brushed steel, chrome, oxidised black, old brass and white.
Elegant, stylish and functional window covers. Produced from top quality Coulisse components. Our wooden slats are safe and eco-friendly.

Aluminium blinds are produced in the standard version with a steel head and bottom rails – in colours as close as possible to the colour of the aluminium tape – are used for the production of aluminium blinds (16, 25 and 50 mm) in the standard version. Both the head rail and bottom rails are finished with composite covers for 25/16 mm blinds made of polycarbonate, transparent or anthracite, and for 50 mm blinds made of PVC in the colour of the rail.
As far as wooden blinds (25 and 50mm) are concerned, the head rail is made of steel in colours as close as possible to the wooden slat colour, whereas the bottom rail is wooden and so its colour is consistent with the slat colour. In the standard version, the head rail is covered with a front wooden cover in the slat colour. Optionally, the front cover may be made with additional sides at its ends.
All the basic version horizontal blinds are equipped with ladder cords. The colour of the ladder cord is matched with the slat with as close a colour as possible. For an extra charge, it is possible to use a ladder tape with a width of 12 mm for a 25 mm blind, and 25 and 38 mm for a 50 mm blind.
Retro blinds are the most exclusive and stylish type of horizontal blinds. Their classical and timeless look can add charm and uniqueness to the interior. Retro blinds are produced only from slats with a width of 50 mm. It is possible to use both wooden and aluminium slats. The steel head rail is replaced with two wooden rails with exposed operating mechanisms, the rails matching the slat colour. The Retro blind has two available operating versions in the form of cord-cord and cord-wand.
