If you plan to terrace building or balcony moving blinds, you need to make some decisions. In this article, we will help you decide on the material, nature and type of installation. We will suggest which installation system to choose and how to go about it. With professional help or by yourself. 

Which blinds to choose: wooden or aluminium

You are faced with the first choice - i.e. deciding on the building material. The movable blind system works best with two types of material, namely in wood i aluminium. Of course, you can also opt for composite blinds. However, these will be less aesthetically pleasing and less durable, although better value for money. 

When to opt for wooden blinds?

Wooden blinds is a universal choice. Wood goes with a variety of materials: concrete, metal, glass, stone. It calmly adapts to the style of the house. Choose them if you are looking for protection from the weather, don't mind maintenance and care about the beauty of wood. Wood blinds are usually made from pine and larch. They can be raw, oiled, stained and painted. They are most often shorter than aluminium blinds. This is because boards that are too long can warp over time. 

When to opt for aluminium blinds?

Blinds aluminium is the choice for years. They require no maintenance, only periodic cleaning. You can paint them any colour you like. They can be matt or glossy. They are durable and weatherproof. They are resistant to temperature fluctuations and do not warp. We particularly recommend them for vertical installation. With the help of movable aluminium covers, you can create up to a 250 cm high enclosure. 

Do you like wooden blinds, but functionality argues for aluminium ones? It can be reconciled! We recommend lwoodgrain aluminium amels. They look great - just like real wood. At the same time, they retain all the advantages of aluminium - durability, lightness and resistance. 

Mounting vertically or horizontally

Aluminium louvres in the form of lamellas can be installed both vertically and horizontally. Wooden ones horizontally. Mounted vertically, they warp over time.

When to opt for a vertical build and when to opt for a horizontal build?

This, of course, depends on your tastes and the character of your home. Vertical blinds will give your building a more dynamic, modern feel. They are perfect for balconies. Horizontal blinds have a cosier character and appear denser. In our climate, it will provide good shade from the sun's harsh rays coming in at an angle. 

Install with care

• materialfrom which the boards are made,

Check that the manufacturer offers adequate technical support.
