Kimberly A.asked

We recently purchased your Veneta 3/4" Double cell room darkening cordless blinds item number 001/02
WO #888131872 PO #94865169. Upon opening them and hanging they are giving off a really strong chemical smell. Kinda like a new plastic shower curtain. I'm asthmatic and I wonder if they have high VOC's. Will the smell even go away in time? Is it unhealthy to breath? Thank you Kim

Hi, are the blinds the same colour on both sides? Or the chosen colour on one side and white on the other?

Good question. If it’s for the honeycomb blinds, your chosen colour is on the inside and white on the side facing outside. If you order the free samples which we ordered lots of its a great help to see what they’re like. Hope this helps.

I've read the reviews and am interested but I need some info about installation. How complex? What tools would I need?

3 answers

Super easy, you only need a drill. And they send a you tube link showing you how when they receive your order (I think, from memory)

What determines difference in size of headrails on roller shades and cellular blinds?

Hi, as mentioned in the previous question, the blinds you are referring to are not our blinds. You will need to speak with someone in the Home Depot store where you purchased your blinds for more information.

Sarahsasked

Through home depot, I ordered cellular tdbu cordlesslight filtering blinds for two windows, 35x49 and 51x24. Blinds perfect, headrail 1 and 1/2 inch. Loved sleek look. Just reordered for kitchen double cell blackout, tdbu cordless, one 35x37 and one 35x49, came room darkening not blackout. Also ordered 23x28 kitchen door window, blackout roller shade. All 3 came with thick, large headrails rather than sleek 1 and 1/2 inch headrails. Why? Kit door roller also 1 inch short in width. How can this order be so wrong?

Hi, we are a company based in Australia called Veneta Blinds. The blinds you are referring to from Home Depot are not our blinds. They just happen to have the same name as our blinds. You will need to speak with someone in the Home Depot store to see if they are able to assist you.

Thank you for the response. I did go to them, and in the course of my quextions, discovered cell blinds were islabeled, and roller shade was measured incorrectle by installer, so will not work and were cancelled. I am now in the process of finding another company. Interesting that you are not affiliated. I do LOVE the cell blinds from Vaneta for spare room....thank you!

I am looking for skylight blinds for my blinds which are in a raked ceiling several meters from floor. The skylight are not flat but angled down the ceiling. So my question is... should I order top down for bottom up? and..... I will have to use the pole to move them so will they naturally stay where i stop them e.g. half way?

I can't find any specific reviews on the top down bottom up double cell honeycombs. Trying to decide between cordless and smartfit. Any ideas? Thanks, Liz

5 answers
Veneta Blinds
Venetablinds.com.au ..Veneta Blinds

Hi Liz,
Thank you for your question. The main difference between Cordless Top Down Bottom Up Honeycomb and Smartfit Honeycomb Blinds is that the Smartfit does not have a fixed headrail. The Smartfit is specifically designed for caravans, boats, french doors or windows with narrow reveals. If you don't have a narrow reveal or the blind is not for a specific purpose, the Cordless Top Down Bottom Up Honeycomb is a good choice. Below are some reviews we have on the Top Down Bottom Up Honeycomb. These reviews can also be found via the link below in the review tab at the bottom of the page.
https://www.venetablinds.com.au/light-filter-now-from-134/2467-snow-drift.html

"We have recently purchased a pair of double cell top up bottom down blinds from Veneta blinds. We were very happy with the service provided. We had a couple of questions that answered promptly. After placing our order online Veneta phoned us to confirm the details. How many other online vendors would do that. The blinds took 2 weeks to arrive from the order day very well packaged and easy to put up. Cannot recommend Veneta Blinds enough!" - jessb755

We have had our new blinds for a few weeks now - and we love them. We purchased Cordless Honeycomb Top Down Bottom Up blinds for our bedroom and they look amazing. Everyone who sees them comments on how great they look. The ordering process was very easy, the blinds were delivered even earlier than we expected and they were very easy to install. The staff at Veneta kept us informed - even calling when we had a query around colours and to follow up after delivery. Before ordering, we received quotes from other suppliers - and we found that Veneta was by far the best value, sometimes less than half what others quoted, but still top quality. We certainly recommend Veneta Blinds." - Kerry

If you have any further questions, please let us know.

Cheers,

I got aluminium Venetians only, which I am very happy with. I can't help you with the honeycombs, sorry.

Thanks Venetta Team.
Several aluminum double hung windows planned, wondered if the fixed head rail would obstruct the top window opening, for venting/airflow, at all?
And, hadn't considered tdbu blinds for my french doors; they'd be great. I plan to have aluminium inward-opening french doors. Would/how would the Smartfit attach to each door?
Thanks, Liz

Hi, please see review below about the sound absorption properties of Honeycomb Blinds. You can also find this same review on our Product Review page.

Great Service Great Product
5 out of 5, reviewed on Jan 17, 2017
After doing quite extensive research on noise reduction, obtaining quotes from double glazing providers, I decided to purchase the double cell honeycomb blinds from Veneta. From the initial online chat, samples sent in the mail, through to the online order, clarification checks, factory notifications and expected and exact delivery times, I can't praise this company enough. The product itself has reduced the noise factor by at least 40% and the blinds have a postmodern, clean look. I will be ordering again in the near future.

Here is a link for more information regarding Honeycomb Blinds and their sound absorption properties.

John casked

I have just received my cordless roller blind 2 in the mail. Trying to install as per instructions. Blind keeps falling down out of brackets. I have turned "clear plastic cog" to release the pin and that side clicks in okay. But what is supposed to stopbthe other end from succumbing to the will of gravity? It just falls out. I start by putting the metal bit into the slot side bracket, and then get the pin side to click into place and boom...slot side falls out. What's supposed to hold it? There's nothing there to stop it.....

What is the easiest way to clean them when they get dusty?

Hi, the easiest way to clean Honeycomb Blinds is to use a vacuum with a brush head. If you get a stain on them, you can spot clean with a damp cloth and some gentle dish detergent. Cheers, The VENETA Team.
