Wood goes with a variety of materials: concrete, metal, glass, stone. It calmly adapts to the style of the house. Choose them if you are looking for protection from the weather, don't mind maintenance and care about the beauty of wood. Wood blinds are usually made from pine and larch. They can be raw, oiled, stained and painted. They are most often shorter than aluminium blinds. This is because boards that are too long can warp over time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1238\" src=\"https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231005_101641-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231005_101641-edited-scaled.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231005_101641-edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231005_101641-edited-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231005_101641-edited-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231005_101641-edited-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231005_101641-edited-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231005_101641-edited-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231005_101641-edited-64x36.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When to opt for aluminium moving blinds on the terrace?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/en\/product-category\/aluminium-blinds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aluminium blinds<\/a> terraced <\/strong>is the choice for years. They require no maintenance, only periodic cleaning. You can paint them any colour you like. They can be matt or glossy. They are durable and weatherproof. They are resistant to temperature fluctuations and do not warp. We particularly recommend them for vertical installation. With the help of movable aluminium covers, you can create up to a 250 cm high enclosure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you like wooden blinds, but functionality argues for aluminium ones?

Vertical blinds will give your building a more dynamic, modern feel. They are perfect for balconies. Horizontal blinds have a cosier character and appear denser. In our climate, it will provide good shade from the sun's harsh rays coming in at an angle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Install with care<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can opt for blinds from several manufacturers that operate in our market.

What to look out for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>material<\/strong>from which the boards are made,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>workmanship of the handles<\/strong>: whether the mechanism runs smoothly or stutters depends on this,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>handle material<\/strong>: brackets for movable blinds are available on the market with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.otwierane.pl\/en\/how-to-select-handles-for-external-blinds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">polypropylene<\/a> or aluminium.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to install the slats yourself, make sure the manufacturer provides you with everything you need. Make sure you have the right tools and materials. Check that the manufacturer offers adequate technical support. That means clear instructions, instructional videos, etc. This is important if you want the installation to be completed quickly and efficiently.
