Venetian blind fitted level and secure with smooth tilting and raising. Whether it's metal or wooden slats, it'll operate cleanly and look straight.
### The Classic Light Control
Venetian blinds give you **complete control over light and privacy** - tilt the slats for diffused light, raise them for full view, close them for complete privacy. But only if they're fitted level.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Wonky brackets are immediately obvious with venetians - the slats visibly angle across the blind instead of staying horizontal. Professional fitting pays off every time you use them.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Multiple rooms?** Venetians throughout the house? Order them all to the same measurements if possible, then I'll fit them together. Much more efficient. **Child safety:** Modern venetians should have safety features on the cords. Make sure these are fitted properly - I'll do this as part of the installation. **Wood vs metal:** Wood looks great but is heavier. Make sure your walls can support it, especially plasterboard. I'll advise honestly if there's a concern.
Frequently Asked Questions about Venetian blind installation in Newton Abbot
What's different about fitting venetian blinds?
Venetians are heavier than roller blinds and have more moving parts. Getting the brackets level is critical - if they're wonky, the slats won't tilt evenly and the whole thing looks awful. Plus the weight means proper fixings are essential.
Wood or metal - does it make a difference to fitting?
Wooden venetians are significantly heavier, so they need better fixings. The fitting process is the same, but I'm more careful about wall type and fixing strength with wood blinds.
Can you fit them inside my window recess?
Yes, that's the most common way. The blind needs to be the right size for your recess though - measure carefully before ordering. Outside recess fitting works too if you prefer.
The cords are on the wrong side for my room - can you swap them?
Usually yes - many venetian blinds can have the cord side reversed, but it depends on the specific blind. If yours allows it, I can swap it during fitting.
How long does fitting take?
Single blind usually 30-45 minutes. Wooden venetians or larger blinds might take closer to an hour. Multiple blinds in one visit saves time overall.
