There are several options of materials of Venetian blinds for bathrooms which are available in the market with each type having its own advantages and limitations. PVC, Faux wood, plastic, bamboo and aluminum are the most commonly used materials for manufacturing blinds. However the aluminum venetian bathroom blinds have become the most preferred choice due to the host of functional benefits that they provide for usage in the bathrooms.
The primary advantage of aluminum is the versatility in colors, textures and finishes that can be created to perfectly match the general decor of any bathroom. Aluminum being extremely flexible in thin sheets can be made of different shapes as per the choice of the customer and the total weight of the entire set remains minimum which makes it ideal for use in the venetian as well vertical forms. The outer coating of the finishing paint that can be applied to aluminum venetian bathroom blinds can be of a wide range of colors and finishes that will add elegance to the bathroom interiors while providing the required degree of light control. The reduced weight of the aluminum variants ensures that the weight on the holding frames and rods attached to the walls is drastically reduced which in turn minimizes the chances of the frames coming off the walls or the rods bending after some, time.
These aluminum blinds are highly durable in all aspects and can take a lot of tampering, bending and misuse by children which at times is a major cause of damage to the blinds. Being flexible these blind slats are not prone to warping or discoloration due to bending. Additionally due to their resistance to corrosion the aluminum slats have greater functional lives as compared to any other material. The ease of cleaning and maintenance of the slats is another factor that weighs in favor of using aluminum venetian bathroom blinds. A simple wipe with a damp cloth on a daily basis is sufficient for keeping the aluminum slats neat and sparkling. As compared to wood and bamboo venetians, the aluminum variants are not affected by presence of moisture in the environment where they are installed and therefore these slats do not deform on continuous exposure to high humidity conditions of the bathrooms. This further increases the durability of the aluminum blinds.
Despite the initial cost being slightly higher for the aluminum options, it is still preferred due to its higher durability which implies lower long term expenditure on bathroom blinds. The one inch wide slats that are generally used with aluminum are often called mini-blinds and are the most functionally superior size for providing complete shade in the bathroom since the slats can be designed to completely overlap each other in the open position which prevents the entry of light into the room. Therefore complete privacy is an added advantage that is better achieved with aluminum blinds.
Aluminum venetian bathroom blinds are the most commonly seen designs at homes with a plethora of colorful slats that match with the overall pattern of the bathroom room, adding glamour and style to its interiors.
