Louvre blinds are simply blinds with slats. These slats are most commonly horizontal, but also can be vertical and they come in a huge variety of different materials and styles.

Avoid dust buildup by dusting your blinds as part of your weekly or monthly cleaning routine. Give them a gentle dusting as you would with other areas of your home, like surfaces and skirting boards. The first step in cleaning your blinds is to remove them from the headrail. While you can dust and spot clean with your blinds still attached, this allows you to give the headrail a deep clean at the same time. Plus, it can be easier to soak all your blinds at once in the bath or washing machine than clean them one by one while still attached. Most louvred shutters enable you to twist or turn those louvres, to allow more or less light into the room.

Wooden louvred blinds are usually in the horizontal or venetian style. These are surging in popularity at the moment as more people look for similar styles to wood shutters, without the additional expense. Ventilation: Louvre blinds can be opened to allow for ventilation, which can help to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.Replacing the slats on vertical blinds is an ideal way to give any room an instant makeover. Our vertical blind slats start at just 50p each. Meinders, E.R.; Hanjalic, K.; Martinuzzi, R.J.
