Venetian Blinds
Full view, filtered light, or full privacy at any height — the most adjustable interior treatment there is, and the natural fit for a shallow period reveal.
Aluminium venetians
25mm slats are the crisp, most popular line; 50mm gives a bolder look with fewer lines across a wide window. Powder-coated aluminium is the moisture champion — bathrooms, kitchens and laundries where fabric fails — and it copes well with the Southern Suburbs' wetter winter months near the mountain.
02Timber & bamboo venetians
50mm basswood or bamboo slats bring real material warmth — the natural choice for Wynberg cottage windows, period studies, and anywhere the original sash character matters. Keep them out of high-steam rooms; a quality lacquer handles normal humidity but not a shower.
03The adjustability argument
A roller is open or closed by degrees; a venetian steers light direction — tilt up for glare-free daylight, tilt down for privacy from a neighbour's upstairs window, close flat for dark. Streets with houses set close together, common through Wynberg and Plumstead, are exactly where this pays off.

Heritage overlay note
If your window sits inside Old Wynberg Village's heritage protection zone, an interior venetian needs no external consent — it's purely an inside-the-room product. Exterior products on the same house are a different conversation; ask us and we'll flag it honestly.
Timber venetians are especially popular through Wynberg's period cottages; aluminium does the heavy lifting in wet rooms right across the corridor.
