Luminos aluminium Venetian blinds are made from a specialised aluminium alloy, which should not be confused with low quality imitation PVC.
The blinds are offered in both slat widths of 25mm and 50mm, with different material finishes available, ranging from metallic and wood effect to plain finishes. Perforated options add a high-tech finish to a blind and are the perfect accessory to today’s kitchens with steel appliances and chrome or gold fittings.
Materials are available with a varying degree of block out slats to give a homeowner even more control over privacy. Aluminium Venetians are virtually fade resistant giving you blinds that will last for a long time.
Motorised Venetian Blinds
Luminos Venetian 50mm slat width blinds can be operated using a motorised system from a wall switch, remote control or programmed control system, which may be integrated seamlessly with a home automation system. Luminos is proud to offer this option in association with Somfy, a world-leader in such systems.
Venetian blinds can lift, drop and tilt via remote control and it is also possible to programme the blinds to react automatically to the sunlight and temperature in a room, protecting you, furniture and plants against the harmful effects of the sun, whilst providing effective temperature control.
