Interior Design Tip No. 7

with Burns for Blinds

What if there is a lot of humidity in the room?

Bathrooms are always an issue when it comes to humidity, especially if there is a shower and the bathroom is lacking an exhaust vent.

Maybe it's a damp garage or basement? Sun Room or Patio?

Whatever the cause for dampness we have the answers.

Here are the best choices.

•  Sanitized Vertical Blinds - All of the choices here work great as long as they are 100% polyester; not poly/ cotton blend., and ideally” sanitized” against mould and mildew common in a constant wet area.. Vertical Blinds have the added advantage of control of view and lighting in the room.

Timber Venetians – The Burns for Blinds Oiled Cedar range of Timber Venetians offer great moisture resistance without sacrificing beauty or light control. Because they are oiled they repel the condensation the forms during shower operation. Woodmates or look a like timbers made of a PVC compound designed to eliminate moisture absorption associated with dry timber Venetians. Lacquered timbers are not considered a great choice as the cord rout holes cannot be sealed, leaving exposed dry timber to soak up the moisture and consequently warp or distort.

Aluminium Venetians are an excellent choice as the water beads off the aluminium slats. Just be very careful spraying caustic cleaners that can etch into the coating process causing an oxidized look.
