50mm Aluminium Venetian Blinds — Made to Measure in South Africa
Custom Blinds 50mm aluminium venetian blinds are made-to-order window coverings with wide aluminium slats that create a bold, architectural presence at any window. Each blind is custom manufactured in South Africa to your exact measurements, with a typical production time of 7 to 10 working days and free nationwide delivery. The 50mm slat width gives a more substantial, contemporary look compared to standard 25mm venetians.
Who 50mm Aluminium Venetian Blinds Are For
These blinds suit homeowners and designers who want a statement window treatment. The wider slats work best on medium to large windows where they create clean horizontal lines with real visual impact. They are ideal for living rooms, dining areas, contemporary bedrooms, penthouses, and commercial spaces like offices and restaurants. The aluminium construction handles humidity, so they also work in kitchens and bathrooms where a bolder look is desired.
How They Work
Each blind features horizontal 50mm aluminium slats on ladder cord, controlled by a tilt wand and lift cord. Tilting the wand angles the slats for precise light control — from fully open to fully closed. The wider slats mean fewer gaps and better light blocking when closed compared to 25mm slats. The lift cord raises the entire blind neatly. Despite the wider slat width, the aluminium construction keeps the blind lightweight and easy to operate.

Comparing 50mm Aluminium to Other Venetian Blinds
Custom Blinds offers several venetian options. 50mm aluminium creates the boldest look with its wide slats — ideal for larger windows and making a statement. 25mm aluminium provides a sleeker profile for smaller windows. Aluwood venetians add a wood grain finish to the aluminium core. Plaswood offers full moisture resistance with a wood aesthetic. Real wooden venetians deliver authentic timber character. Choose 50mm aluminium when you want maximum impact with minimal maintenance.
Installation
Standard installation uses two wall or ceiling brackets and takes approximately 15 minutes per window with a drill and spirit level.
