Perforated Venetian Blinds
Perforated Venetian Blinds That Soften Harsh Light
Our perforated venetian blinds are made to measure in the UK with slim 25mm aluminium slats punched with tiny micro-holes. The holes scatter strong sunlight into a soft, diffused glow, cut glare and let you see out softly while the blind keeps daytime privacy. These perforated blinds come in a crisp white and a modern grey, wipe clean, and suit a home office or living room. Up to ten free samples show the effect in your own light.
What Perforated Slats Can and Cannot Do
Perforated slats are about soft light, not darkness. The holes let a little light through even when the slats are closed, so for a bedroom or any room that needs to be dark, choose a solid slat from our venetian blinds. For night-time privacy a solid slat is the better choice too.
Where you want a view out and softer light, such as a home office or a south-facing room, perforated is hard to beat. There are two ways to buy the perforated blind. Bracket-fixed blinds use a cord and wand and cover windows from 61cm up to 400cm wide. Perfect Fit blinds clip between the glass and the beading of a uPVC window, so they need no drilling and no cords, but they stop at 137.2cm by 213.4cm and come in a white, golden oak or mahogany frame.
Perforated Venetian Blind FAQs
What are perforated venetian blinds?
They are venetian blinds whose slats are punched with tiny holes. The holes scatter strong sunlight into a soft glow, which reduces glare while keeping the horizontal slats you can tilt.
Do perforated venetian blinds give privacy?
In the day, yes: the holes let you see out softly while it is harder to see in. They let a little light through even when closed, so for night-time privacy or a dark bedroom choose a solid slat.
Are perforated venetian blinds good for a home office?
Yes. They diffuse harsh sun and cut screen glare while letting you keep a view out of the window.
Can I get perforated venetian blinds without drilling?
Yes, if the window is uPVC with rubber beading. Both perforated blinds, white and grey, are also made as clip-in Perfect Fit blinds, up to 137.2cm wide by 213.4cm high.
How do I measure my windows for perforated venetian blinds?
Measure the width and drop in three places each, then choose between an inside fit and an exact size. See our venetian blind measuring guide for the diagrams. Every Blindstyle blind also comes with measurement protection, which gives you a reduced price on a replacement if you measure wrong, depending on the blind.
