Black Venetian Blinds
Black Venetian Blinds in a Matt or Smooth Finish
Our black venetian blinds are made to measure in the UK with slim 25mm aluminium slats in two finishes: a matt black with a flat, non-reflective look, and a smooth black with a deeper, more polished depth. These black aluminium venetian blinds wipe clean, tilt for light and privacy and give a window sharp, graphic lines.
A 4 year guarantee covers every blind, and up to ten free samples show how each black looks against your walls. Photos on screen are for illustration, so the sample is the true test.
Black Both Ways, and Where It Works Best
The black blind comes two ways. The standard blind hangs from the brackets supplied, uses a cord and wand and is made from 61cm by 61cm up to 400cm by 400cm. The Perfect Fit version clips into a uPVC frame with no drilling, works with a tab and wand and has no cords, and is made up to 137.2cm wide by 213.4cm high, in a white, golden oak or mahogany frame. See our perfect fit venetian blinds for the clip-in range.
Black suits a bright room with pale walls, where the slats make a strong frame around the window. In a small, dark room a lighter blind such as our white venetian blinds may suit better. Black slats are not blackout: light can still show at the edges and through the cord holes, and for an exact size blind more than 5cm of overlap each side keeps the gaps smaller.
Black Venetian Blind FAQs
Are black venetian blinds blackout?
No. Closed black slats block the view in and cut a lot of light, but venetian blinds are not blackout blinds, because light can show at the edges and through the cord holes. More overlap around the window helps.
What is the difference between matt black and smooth black venetian blinds?
Matt black has a flat, non-reflective finish. Smooth black has a deeper, more polished look. Both are 25mm aluminium and wipe clean, so choose by the look you prefer and order a sample of each.
Do black venetian blinds make a room look smaller?
They can in a small or dark room, because black absorbs light. In a bright room with pale walls they look crisp and make the window a feature.
What sizes are available for black venetian blinds?
Every blind is made to measure. The standard black blinds go from 61cm by 61cm up to 400cm wide by 400cm long, and the clip-in Perfect Fit versions go up to 137.2cm wide by 213.4cm high.
How do I measure my windows for black venetian blinds?
A black blind shows every gap, so measure carefully and choose exact size if the recess is not square. Our venetian blind measuring guide shows each step. If a measurement turns out wrong, measurement protection gives you a replacement at a reduced price, depending on the blind.
