Aluminium venetian blinds are a practical, hard-wearing window covering that suit a wide range of NZ homes. Known for their durability, moisture resistance, and precise light control, they’re a popular choice for kitchens, bathrooms, rentals, and everyday living spaces

Made to measure in 25mm and 50mm slat options, aluminium venetian blinds allow you to tilt, raise, or fully retract the blind to control light and privacy throughout the day. They’re easy to clean, simple to install, and offer excellent value where strength and longevity matter

Where aluminium venetian blinds work best

Aluminium venetian blinds are commonly chosen where straightforward light control, durability, slimline style, and affordability are the main priorities. They’re widely used in kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, rentals, offices, utility spaces, and general living areas where a clean, practical blind is preferred

Aluminium slats don’t absorb moisture and won’t warp or swell like lower-grade timber can in poor conditions, which makes them suitable for areas with changing humidity. That said, they’re best placed away from direct heat and heavy cooking areas, as grease and residue can build up over time and require more frequent cleaning

While aluminium venetians are robust, the slim slats can bend if handled roughly. For this reason, they’re best suited to spaces where function, value, and longevity matter, and where basic care can be expected

Light and privacy control

Aluminium venetian blinds use tilting horizontal slats to give you precise control over both light and privacy. You can angle the slats to soften daylight, block direct sun, or fully close them for privacy, then raise the blind completely when you want an unobstructed view

They are not a blackout solution — some light will always pass between slats — but they offer excellent everyday light control and visual privacy, especially for street-facing windows and workspaces

Aluminium vs timber and PVC blinds

Aluminium venetians sit at the practical, value-focused end of the venetian spectrum, offering a clean, minimal look with straightforward everyday performance

Compared with timber and PVC blinds, aluminium venetians have a slimmer profile, making them well suited to windows with limited jamb depth. PVC slats are thicker and generally more impact-resistant, which can be an advantage where blinds may be handled more roughly

If you’re after a clean, minimal venetian blind that fits tighter spaces and offers good value, aluminium is usually the right balance

GET A QUOTE

Durability and longevity

Quality aluminium venetian blinds are built to last. Powder-coated aluminium slats resist corrosion, fading, and everyday wear, while the lightweight construction helps reduce strain on the headrail and operating components over time

These blinds are well suited to regular day-to-day use. With basic care, aluminium venetians can last many years without sagging, warping, or mechanical issues. An annual professional clean is recommended for maximum longevity

Measuring and installation

Aluminium venetian blinds use a straightforward bracket system, which makes installation simple for confident DIYers who are comfortable measuring and fitting window coverings

If you’d prefer not to install them yourself, we offer professional measuring and installation services in most main centres. Simply select the appropriate option when completing your quote request, allowing you to choose whether to manage the process yourself or have it handled for you, while still achieving a clean, accurate fit

25mm and 50mm aluminium venetian blinds

Our aluminium venetian blinds are available in 25mm and 50mm slat sizes, allowing you to tailor both appearance and function

25mm slats are the most popular choice. They suit smaller windows, look clean and understated, and give precise light control. 50mm slats create a bolder look and work well on larger windows where you want stronger visual impact and fewer slats across the height

Both options deliver the same durability and performance — the choice comes down to window size and personal preference rather than quality

Lead time for aluminium venetian blinds

All our aluminium venetian blinds are custom made to measure in New Zealand, using quality aluminium slats and components suited to local conditions

Because each blind is made specifically to your measurements, typical manufacturing time is 2–3 weeks. This allows for accurate sizing, correct assembly, and proper quality control — not rushed, mass-produced shortcuts

Once manufacturing is complete, delivery usually takes 1–4 working days, depending on your location. If you’ve selected service, installation can be scheduled once your blinds are ready

Our aluminium venetian blinds are made in NZ and designed for NZ conditions, ensuring consistent performance, smooth operation, and long-term reliability

Colours and finishes

Our aluminium venetian blinds are available in 22 colours in the 25mm range and 4 colours in the 50mm range, giving you practical options for modern NZ homes, offices, kitchens, bathrooms, and rental properties

The 25mm collection includes popular white, grey, silver, black, metallic, neutral, and high-gloss aluminium blind colours, so you can keep the look subtle or add a sharper modern finish. The 50mm range is more limited, but works well where you want a bolder slat profile and a cleaner venetian blind look

All finishes are powder-coated for durability, helping maintain colour consistency and surface quality over time. Colours can appear different on screen depending on lighting and your device.

Measuring

Measuring aluminium venetian blinds made clear and stress-free

Accurate measuring is key to getting a good fit, but it doesn’t need to be complicated. Follow the steps below and you’ll have everything needed to price and manufacture your aluminium venetian blinds correctly. Most aluminium venetians are installed inside the window jamb for a neat, built-in finish, and the steps below are based on that approach

Measure in 3 steps

1. Measure width (3 places)

Measure the inside width of the window recess (wood to wood) where the blind will sit. Take measurements in three places — at the top, in the middle, and near the bottom. Use the smallest measurement, recorded in millimetres (mm). This ensures the blind fits comfortably inside the jamb without binding

2. Measure drop (3 places)

Measure the inside height of the recess in three places — left, centre, and right. Keep the tape measure straight and square to the sill. Again use the shortest measurement in millimetres (mm). This ensures ensures the bottom rail clears the sill and sits level when lowered

3. Enter your aluminium blind measurements

When requesting a quote for your aluminium venetian blinds, enter your measurements as width × drop (mm). If you’re planning to use our professional measuring and installation service, you can enter approximate measurements for pricing purposes. Exact measurements will be taken by us on-site before manufacturing. If you’re ordering as a DIY client, final confirmed measurements will be required before proceeding with manufacture

Left or right control?

When ordering aluminium venetian blinds, you’ll need to choose whether the tilt control and cords sit on the left or right-hand side. There’s no universal right answer — it comes down to access and practicality

In most cases, choose the side that’s easiest to reach, avoids obstructions such as cabinetry or window openings, and won’t interfere with daily use. If aesthetics and practicality conflict, it’s usually best to prioritise ease of operation

Ultimately, it’s simply a matter of left or right — choose what works best for your space

Installing your aluminium venetian blinds

Aluminium venetian blinds are straightforward to install for confident DIYers, using a simple bracket clip system. Most installations are completed inside the window jamb for a neat, built-in finish. Follow the steps below, or download the PDF at the bottom of this section for a printable guide

1. Preparation and tools

Unpack your aluminium venetian blinds. You’ll need a screwdriver or power drill with the correct bit, the supplied screws (inside fit) and brackets, a pencil, tape measure, and a step ladder if required

Installing aluminium venetian blinds is easiest with a clear workspace and good access to the window. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the headrail, control unit, ladder cradles, and bracket positions before fixing anything in place

2. Fitting the brackets

Fit the aluminium blind brackets at your chosen depth within the jamb. It’s common to position them slightly back from the architrave face rather than hard against the rear of the jamb, ensuring the blind clears any window handles or obstructions when raised and lowered. Around 10 mm back from the architrave face typically provides a great result

Bracket quantity depends on blind width:

  • Up to 1 m wide – use 2 brackets

  • 1–2 m wide – use 3 brackets

  • 2–3 m wide – use 4 brackets

You'll be given the correct amount of brackets. Position the end brackets approximately 105 mm in from each side of the window. If additional brackets are required, space them evenly across the width

Tip: Avoid fixing brackets directly above the control unit or ladder cradles. A bracket must sit between the control unit and the first ladder cradle on each side. Laying the blind on the sill helps you identify correct bracket placement before drilling or screwing

3. Fitting the aluminium blind

Once the brackets are secure, clip the aluminium venetian blind into place, ensuring each bracket clicks firmly into the headrail. The control wand and pull cord should sit at the front of the headrail, facing into the room

After fitting, gently raise, lower, and tilt the blind to confirm smooth operation. If anything feels tight or uneven, unclip the blind and check bracket alignment before proceeding

Once satisfied, your aluminium venetian blind is ready for everyday use

Installation options and guides

If you’d prefer not to install the blinds yourself, professional on-site measuring and installation is available in most main centres. Simply select the service option when completing your quote request

For those installing themselves, detailed installation guides are available as downloadable PDFs below, covering inside fit, and outside fit on architrave

After spending about a month researching the options we selected Ryan and Matt (Blinds Online) to fit our new house at Hobsonville Point, in Auckland. Not only were they very price competitive, the aluminium venetian blinds were ready when they said they would be and were installed quickly, neatly professionally by Matt

We have been really pleased with our decision since that time. Recently our 4 year old managed to break a part on one of the aluminium blinds. After a week trying all the possible companies in West Auckland, with no luck, we finally contacted Blinds Online again and were told "no problems, we'll sort it out"

Excellent customer service

FAQS

Q.

What are aluminium venetian blinds?

A.

Aluminium venetian blinds are window blinds made with horizontal powder-coated aluminium slats. The slats tilt open and closed, giving you precise control over light, privacy, and glare.

They are often simply called aluminium blinds, metal venetian blinds, or venetian blinds. On this page, aluminium blinds and aluminium venetian blinds mean the same product.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — our aluminium venetian blinds are custom made to your measurements.

That means each blind is made to suit your window, rather than being cut down from a ready-made size. This gives a cleaner fit, better coverage, and a more finished look than off-the-shelf aluminium blinds.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Our 25mm and 50mm aluminium venetian blinds are custom manufactured in New Zealand.

They are made in Penrose, Auckland, using powder-coated aluminium slats and quality components. This gives us good control over sizing, quality, lead time, and support.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — aluminium venetian blinds can be quoted and ordered online.

You submit your measurements, choose your colour, select 25mm or 50mm slats, and choose either DIY or professional measuring and installation. If we don’t cover your area for service, we’ll let you know — and our DIY process is designed to make measuring and installing as straightforward as possible.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — aluminium venetian blinds are one of the best value made-to-measure blind options, especially if you want a clean venetian look with adjustable slats.

They offer good everyday durability, strong light control, and a tidy finish without the higher price point of wooden blinds, PVC blinds, or shutters. If your main priority is the most economical blind possible, a basic fabric blockout blind may price slightly lower, but aluminium venetian blinds give you better slat-based light control.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Made-to-measure aluminium blinds give a better result than ready-made blinds.

Ready-made blinds can be useful for a quick fix, but they often involve compromises with width, drop, side gaps, overall finish and quality. Custom aluminium venetian blinds are made to fit your window properly, which looks better and operates more smoothly long term.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — aluminium venetian blinds can work well in kitchens, especially where you want a slim, wipeable blind with good light control.

That said, they are best kept away from direct heat and heavy cooking splatter. Grease and cooking residue can build up on any venetian blind over time, so regular cleaning is important if they are installed near a cooktop or busy food-prep area.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — aluminium venetian blinds are a practical option for many bathrooms and laundries because the slats are moisture-resistant and do not swell from humidity.

Good ventilation is still important. In damp rooms, blinds should be allowed to dry out and should be cleaned regularly to help protect the headrail, components, and powder-coated finish over time.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — aluminium blinds are commonly used in offices, rental properties, and commercial spaces because they are practical, tidy, and cost-effective.

They offer good light and privacy control, suit a wide range of window sizes, and are usually straightforward to replace or match later. They are not indestructible though — if blinds are likely to be handled roughly, PVC blinds may be worth considering.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Close the slats and dust gently with a soft cloth, duster, or vacuum soft-brush attachment on a low setting. Test vacuuming carefully first, as not all vacuum cleaners are suitable.

For a more thorough clean, wipe the slats with mild soapy water, then dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbing, or soaking the blind. An annual professional clean is recommended for best longevity, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, rentals, and high-use spaces.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — aluminium blinds can be fitted onto the back of some doors, provided there is enough clearance for the headrail, slats, handles, and door movement.

When aluminium blinds are fitted directly to a door, hold-down clips are essential — they are required to secure the bottom rail and stop the blind moving each time the door opens, closes, or catches a breeze. Please tell us before manufacture which blinds need hold-down clips, as the bottom rail is made differently when hold-down clips are required.

If you mean fitting aluminium blinds in a doorway, ranch slider, or high-use thoroughfare, they may not always be the best option. You’ll usually need to raise the blind before using the door, and the stack height at the top can be significant. For doorways used often, roller blinds or vertical blinds are usually more practical.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — aluminium blinds have been used successfully in boats and caravans.

These environments can be harder on blinds because of movement, moisture, and salt-laden air. Regular cleaning, good ventilation, and allowing the blind to dry out properly are important for long-term performance.

Hold-down clips are strongly recommended for boats and caravans, as they secure the bottom rail and help stop the blind moving while travelling or in windy conditions. Please tell us before manufacture which blinds need hold-down clips, as the bottom rail is made differently when these are required.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Aluminium and PVC blinds suit different priorities.

Aluminium blinds have a slimmer profile and a cleaner, more minimal look, which can be useful where jamb depth is limited. PVC blinds are thicker and generally more impact-resistant, so they may be the better option where blinds are likely to be handled roughly.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Aluminium and wooden blinds suit different priorities.

Aluminium venetian blinds have a slimmer profile and a lower price point, making them a good option where you want a clean, minimal look and strong value. Wooden blinds offer more warmth, texture, and natural character, which can make them the better choice where appearance and interior style are the main priorities.

If you want a tidy, value-focused venetian blind, aluminium is a strong choice. If you want the richness and feel of real timber, wooden blinds are worth considering.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Choose aluminium venetian blinds if you want adjustable slats for flexible light, privacy, and glare control throughout the day.

Choose roller blinds if you prefer a simpler fabric blind, or if your priority is blockout, sunscreen, or softer light filtering. For bedrooms and media rooms, blockout blinds or SmartBlock may be better options than aluminium venetians.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Aluminium blinds are the more affordable, practical option for straightforward windows.

Shutters are a more premium, architectural window covering and can be a stronger option for shaped windows, angled windows, feature rooms, or long-term design impact. If your goal is maximum visual impact and permanence, shutters are worth considering.

GET A QUOTE

A.

No — we do not manufacture shaped aluminium blinds, raked aluminium blinds, or aluminium blinds with angled tops or bottoms.

These are difficult to make and can be problematic to operate well. In some cases, you may be able to outside-mount a standard rectangular aluminium blind to cover the larger window area instead.

If you have shaped, angled, or feature windows and want a more tailored finish, shutters are usually the better product to consider. They are a more premium and expensive option, but they can often handle shaped windows far better than aluminium blinds.

If a shutter quote is required, please send a photo of the window alongside your quote request.

GET A QUOTE

A.

No — aluminium venetian blinds are not blackout blinds.

They provide good everyday privacy and light control, but some light will pass between the slats, around the sides, and near the bottom of the blind. If you need proper room darkening, look at blockout blinds. If you need the highest level of blackout, SmartBlock is the better option.

GET A QUOTE

A.

25mm aluminium venetian blinds are the most popular option. They have a slim, understated look, suit smaller windows well, and work nicely where jamb depth is limited.

50mm aluminium venetian blinds have a bolder look, with fewer slats across the drop of the blind. They can suit larger windows where you want a stronger venetian style, but they are also a premium option — typically around 70% more expensive than 25mm aluminium blinds.

Both options perform well. The choice usually comes down to appearance, window size, available space, and budget.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Our 25mm aluminium venetian blind range has 22 colours, including whites, greys, silver tones, black, neutral colours, metallic finishes, and high-gloss options.

The 50mm aluminium venetian blind range has 4 colour options. The 25mm range gives you more colour flexibility, while the 50mm range is more about a bolder slat profile and stronger visual scale.

Once your quote is prepared, we’re happy to send loan samples if required before you order.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Within each slat size range, yes.

All colours in the 25mm aluminium blind range are the same price as each other. All colours in the 50mm aluminium blind range are also the same price as each other.

The 50mm range is a premium option and is typically around 70% more expensive than the 25mm range.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Our maximum aluminium venetian blind size is 3000mm wide by 2700mm drop. These size limits apply to both the 25mm and 50mm aluminium blind ranges.

Aluminium blinds up to 1500mm wide can have a maximum drop of 3000mm. Over 1500mm wide, the maximum drop is 2700mm. Larger aluminium blinds can become heavy, harder to install, and less effective at tilting tightly closed.

For windows wider than 3000mm, the best approach is usually to split the space into multiple butting blinds, ideally at a mullion. Let us know if you plan to do this, as different manufacturing deductions may be used to minimise the gap between blinds.

GET A QUOTE

A.

The narrowest aluminium blind we manufacture is 300mm wide, for both the 25mm and 50mm ranges.

Between 300mm and 349mm wide, the lift and tilt controls must be split to opposite sides because of the limited space inside the headrail. From 350mm wide and above, both controls will be on the same side. You can choose either left or right when proceeding with your order.

An undersize surcharge applies to narrow aluminium blinds, whether 25mm or 50mm. This will be included in your quote where applicable.

GET A QUOTE

A.

As a practical guide, allow around 35mm jamb depth for 25mm aluminium blinds and around 60mm for 50mm aluminium blinds.

You also need to consider handles, latches, window stays, and anything else the blind may hit when raised or lowered. If there is not enough depth inside the jamb, an outside fit on the architrave may be the better option.

GET A QUOTE

A.

For inside fit aluminium blinds, measure the inside width and drop of the window jamb in three places, then use the smallest measurements.

Provide measurements as width × drop in millimetres. Do not make deductions yourself — the factory will apply the required allowances. If you prefer not to measure yourself, select professional measuring and installation when requesting a quote. We cover most main areas and will advise if service is not available in your location.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Aluminium venetian blinds use a straightforward bracket system and can be installed by confident DIYers.

You’ll need to position the brackets correctly, avoid the control unit and ladder cradles, and make sure the blind clips securely into the headrail. Installation instructions and downloadable guides are available in the installation section.

If you prefer not to install them yourself, select professional measuring and installation when requesting a quote. We cover most main areas and will advise if service is not available in your location.

GET A QUOTE

A.

We supply the brackets and screws with your aluminium blind.

As a guide, aluminium blinds up to 1 metre wide use 2 brackets. Blinds from 1m to 2m wide use 3 brackets. Blinds from 2m to 3m wide use 4 brackets. One screw per bracket is required (screws are provided).

Brackets must not be fixed directly above the control unit or ladder cradles. Check the installation instructions before drilling.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — aluminium blinds can be secured at the bottom using hold-down clips.

Hold-down clips are useful where the blind is fitted to a door, near a doorway, or somewhere it may move in a breeze. The bottom rail is made differently when hold-down clips are required, so it is best to tell us before manufacture. Retrofitting them later is possible, but more expensive.

GET A QUOTE

A.

Aluminium blinds are designed to sit slightly above the sill, rather than hard down on it.

When tilted fully closed, the bottom rail should usually sit about 5mm above the highest point of the sill. When the slats are tilted open and flat, the bottom rail may sit around 20mm above the sill. This is normal and helps prevent the blind from bunching, sitting crooked, or hitting the sill when closed.

GET A QUOTE

A.

On larger or full-drop aluminium venetian blinds, the slats near the bottom may not close as tightly as the slats near the headrail.

This is normal across venetian blinds. The tilt mechanism works from the top, and the effect reduces slightly further down the blind because of drop, weight, and ladder tension. It will not affect privacy, but there may be slightly more light visible near the lower slats on taller blinds.

GET A QUOTE

A.

This is rare, but if your new aluminium blind does not tilt, raise, or lower smoothly after installation, first check that the blind is clipped securely into the headrail and that the brackets are aligned correctly.

Also check that the brackets are not too close to the control unit, ladder cradles, or cords, as this may restrict proper blind movement. Do a quick visual inspection to see whether anything obvious is obstructing the mechanisms or has shifted in transit.

If you can’t see the cause, take clear photos of the blind and looking inside the headrail and send it through with a short description of the problem. In many cases we can identify the issue remotely and advise the next step.
