Venetian Blinds in Selly Oak
Venetians are the precise instrument of the blind world. Slim aluminium slats tilt with a turn of the wand, so you can bounce daylight up onto the ceiling, close the view completely, or raise the whole thing out of the way. For Selly Oak kitchens and bathrooms, where windows are often small and steam is constant, that combination of fine control and a surface you can simply wipe down is hard to beat.
Where venetian blinds work in Selly Oak homes
Many B29 terraces have a narrow window over the sink or a frosted pane in a downstairs bathroom that has never had anything more than a sticky film on it. A slim venetian sits in a shallow recess without crowding the frame. In shared houses near the university, they suit study bedrooms where screen glare matters, and the perfect fit version clips into uPVC beading so landlords are not asked to drill frames.
There is no bundle price on venetians. Instead you get a free measure and a written quote, and if you book online and are not using one of the fixed-price offers elsewhere, BN-14 takes 14% off. Finishes range from matt white to brushed metallics and bolder colours. If you prefer the same tilting idea with more warmth, the faux wood range is worth a look while the fitter is with you.
The details make a venetian. Slat widths of 25mm look neat in small windows; broader slats suit larger panes and give a clearer view when open. Tilt can be by wand or cord, and every blind comes with child-safety fittings as standard. For a downstairs toilet facing the side alley, which plenty of B29 terraces have, a closed venetian gives full privacy while still letting a little daylight bounce through. Cleaning is a minute with a damp cloth, closing the slats one way and then the other.

Questions we hear at the measure
Is there a bundle price on venetians?
No fixed bundle, but the measure and written quote are free, and BN-14 takes 14% off an online booking when you are not claiming another offer.
Can a venetian go up without drilling a landlord’s frame?
On many uPVC windows we can fit a perfect fit venetian that clips into the glazing bead, leaving the frame itself untouched.
How do I keep the slats clean?
Tilt the slats shut and run a damp cloth along them, then turn them the other way and repeat. A minute or two keeps them looking fresh.
