<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou will find five types of infill in our shop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unpainted wood<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\nUnpainted pine boards are a product that requires finishing. You will need to treat them with an impregnating agent before fitting them in OUS holders. If you want to preserve their natural character, choose a clear impregnation<\/strong>or the colour of other types of wood, such as oak.
For the 'natural' wooden planks, the black OUS handles are the most suitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPainted wood<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If you want to surround yourself with colour, choose coloured varnishes. You'll find plenty of wood preservatives and opaques on the market. In our shop we use Remmers 3-in-1 Varnishes.<\/strong> To get decently coloured boards, you need to apply two coats of paint in addition to the waterproofing - depending on the effect you want to achieve.
Depending on your choice of painting colour, choose one of the five handles. The most frequently selected OUS handles are in the colours anthracite, black and white.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAluminium, unpainted<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Raw aluminium has its own charm. And all the advantages of aluminium: weather and pest resistance.<\/strong> We recommend the black OUS brackets for the raw aluminium louvres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Painted aluminium<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It's the best solution for anyone with a flair for terrace or balcony design. And those who don't have the time or inclination to regularly clean and waterproof wooden blinds. The choice of colours is basically unlimited<\/strong>. In our range you will find a set of the most popular RAL colours. Fancy a more original colour? Contact us<\/strong>i<\/a>.
When buying painted aluminium blinds, you have Choice of matt and fine-textured painted blinds. <\/strong>Wondering which type to choose?
Aluminium with a smooth (matt) finish has a smooth surface. However, it does show fingerprints. It is easier to clean.
The structured aluminium finish is rough. Fingerprints are less likely to show on it.
Which handle colour should I choose for painted aluminium fittings? OUS handles in the colours anthracite, black and white are the most common choices.
Want to know what to consider when choosing the colour of a louvre development? Read our article: \"How many and what length of terrace blinds do you need<\/a>\u201e. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWood-like aluminium<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
It combines the advantages of wood and aluminium: \"wooden\" look and texture as well as durability and ease of care. <\/strong>In our shop you will find many types of woodgrain finishes for aluminium slats. For woodgrain lamellas, our customers most often choose handles in the colours anthracite, brown and black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vertical or horizontal blinds - which installation method should I choose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We wrote about the differences that arise from the choice of installation method for moving blinds in the article \"Vertical or horizontal external blinds - which solution to choose\".<\/strong> <\/a>The choice is limited to aluminium. Due to the nature of the material, we do not recommend the use of wood in vertical installation. As a 'living' material, wood works. Over long lengths, which is what is most often used in vertical installation, it can deform, which affects the operation of the moving blind mechanism. Aluminium blinds are more durable and weather-resistant. Therefore, we recommend them to be built in vertical terrace pergolas<\/a>, terraces and balconies<\/a><\/strong>. The vertical laths give the development a modern style, optically elevate the body of the building and cast a beautiful shadow on the built interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
