Venetian Blinds Bristol – Aluminium, Wood & Faux Wood, Made to Measure
Precision Light Control for Every Room
Venetian blinds give you something no other blind type can: instant, infinitely adjustable control over light and privacy. Tilt the slats to let in a soft glow, angle them to block glare, or raise the entire blind for an unobstructed view. It’s this versatility that makes Venetian blinds a favourite in Bristol homes – from the bright south-facing bay windows of Clifton terraces to compact bathrooms in Southville.
At Artistic Blinds, all Venetian blinds are made to measure at our Bristol factory. We offer over 100 colours across aluminium, real wood, and faux wood options, with four slat widths to choose from.
Materials Compared
Material | Ideal Rooms | Advantages | Slat Widths |
Aluminium | Kitchens, bathrooms, offices, rental properties | Lightweight, moisture-proof, affordable, wipe-clean | 15mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm |
Real wood (basswood, cedar) | Living rooms, bedrooms, studies | Warm, natural grain, premium feel, good insulator | 25mm, 35mm, 50mm |
Faux wood (composite PVC) | Any room, especially humid areas | Looks like real wood, won’t warp or crack, easy-care | 35mm, 50mm |
Not sure whether to go for aluminium or wood? As a rule of thumb: aluminium is the practical, budget-friendly choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and rentals. Real wood is the premium option for rooms where warmth and character matter most. Faux wood splits the difference – the look of timber with the resilience of composite.
Slat Width Guide
- 15mm (micro) – Sleek, minimal look for small or narrow windows. Aluminium only.
- 25mm (standard) – The most popular width. Suits most domestic windows. Available in all materials.
- 35mm – A slightly wider slat that gives a more contemporary look and allows more light when open.
- 50mm (wide) – Makes a bold design statement. Best on larger windows. Popular in wood and faux wood.

Installation & Lead Times
Our surveyor measures each window to the millimetre, discusses slat width and finish options with you at home, and provides a same-day quote. Venetian blinds are then manufactured at our Bristol factory, typically within 10–14 working days, and fitted by our in-house installation team.
Pricing Factors
The price of Venetian blinds depends on window size, material, and slat width. As a rough guide: aluminium Venetian blinds start from approximately £75–100 per window (supplied & fitted), faux wood from around £100–150, and real wood from £120–250+. Motorisation and non-standard shapes will add to the cost. Book a free home survey for an accurate quote.
Venetian Blinds Bristol – FAQs
Are wooden Venetian blinds suitable for bathrooms?
Real wood can warp in high-humidity environments, so we’d recommend faux wood Venetian blinds for bathrooms and kitchens. They look identical to real wood but are fully moisture-resistant.
Can you make Venetian blinds for bay windows?
Yes. We manufacture Venetian blinds with curved and angled headrails to follow the shape of bay windows precisely. This is one of the advantages of our in-house production.
How do I clean Venetian blinds?
Aluminium and faux wood slats can be wiped with a damp cloth. Real wood blinds should be dusted regularly with a dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking real wood.
What slat width should I choose?
25mm is the most versatile and popular. For a contemporary or statement look on larger windows, go for 50mm. For small or narrow windows, 15mm micro slats look neat and proportionate.
