Aluminium or timber
The most adjustable blind in the range
A venetian doesn't just open or close — it steers light by degree. Tilt up for glare-free daylight, tilt down for privacy from a neighbouring double-storey, close flat for full dark. On a Lynnwood home with a garden that swings from deep tree shade to hard afternoon sun, that hour-by-hour control matters more than on a plain, evenly-lit elevation.
Aluminium venetians — 25mm slats for a crisp, popular look or 50mm for a bolder statement — are the moisture champions of the range: bathrooms, kitchens and laundries where fabric struggles. They're also the practical choice where an original steel-frame window has a shallower recess than a modern aluminium or uPVC opening.
Timber and bamboo venetians in 50mm slats bring real warmth to a study or a formal lounge, and suit Lynnwood's older sash and timber-frame windows particularly well — a material answer to a material window, rather than a synthetic one pretending otherwise. Keep them out of steam-heavy bathrooms; a quality lacquer handles normal humidity fine.
