1. Confused Between Venetian Blinds And Shutters? Read This... Plantation shutters may be your perfect choice for the windows but do you know which other forms of window dressings are spicing up the aesthetic look? Venetian Blinds, which originated in Venice Italy back in 1794, is now used for decorating and giving a refreshing look to the property. They offer a number of benefits in terms of functionality and look similar to the plantation shutters. The elegance of these blinds made them a hallmark of the high society in America way back in the old times. The horizontal slates made from timber or aluminium are highly effective in preventing heat loss and protecting the privacy of the house. The look and feel of the Venetian ​Blinds Melbourne are almost similar to the plantation shutters, but an added advantage is, they come in a range of colours.

2. The most common colours, white and timber blinds are best for making your springs and summers cool. Also, the horizontal louvres of blinds look close to that of horizontal blades of a plantation shutter. Now you may ask, if everything is similar then why to choose between them, also, why to use one of them? The next part of this content shares the differences which may help you in deciding which one is better over another? ● Both of them differ when it comes to the size of the louvres. Plantation shutters louvres have a width of 89mm whereas, Venetian louvres have either 50 mm or 63mm louvre size. It is true that if you want a plantation shutter of 63 mm louvre size or 115 mm, you can get, but my dear friend, it will bring you disappointment when you are expecting a “Plantation shutter” installation. ● Plantation shutters Melbourne ​blades have an elliptical shape and a width of 10.5 mm whereas, Venetian blades are flat, a width of 3 mm and have a rectangular slat.

3. ● Plantation shutters are operated manually by merely tilting the blades and choosing the position of our choice. Being a completely horizontal product, only the control rod is vertically designed. But, that too can be hidden on the internal side of the plantation shutter. On the other hand, Venetian blinds have a number of vertical fabrics that are laddered against each other. They are not a cordless product, and the hanging cords can be used to lift or tilt the blinds as per the requirement. If you feel the hanging cords are disrupting the aesthetics, you can try having tubular hanging wands instead. The answer to the above question with the functionalities mentioned will remain a matter of choice and design preferences. Both of them offer an exceptional looking house and are easy to clean products using only a duster or a damp cloth. Due to the large size of blades as compared to the Venetian blinds, shutters offer ease of cleaning. Shutters offer better insulation and are the most environmentally efficient window dressing. But, blinds take less time to manufacture, and the installation is also quite easy as compared to plantation shutters. The price judgement can not be made unless you have the final colour chosen, the size of your window defined and material to manufacture finalised. Depending on the above factors, Blinds Melbourne may get cheaper, but we can not conclude aforehand.
