External Venetian EV80 Blind Types from Evaya

Type 1: Wire Guided:
Wire guides are an effective means of anchoring External Venetian Blinds to their fixings and provide minimal visual obstruction. High quality 316 marine grade stainless steel wire is utilised and which is coated with a UV stable PVC sheath to prevent interference and friction with the slat surface. A unique attachment system fastens the wire to the headrail and numerous options are available as anchoring or termination points, including deck plates and stand offs.

It must be noted that, as with all wire guided blinds, wind loading will result in the blind vibrating and resonating and that there will always be an associated 20 percent filtering of light through the slats due to their single concave/convex design.

Type 2: Side pins
Where stable and refined operation is required the benefits of utilising side channel guidance systems far outweigh any other means of securing External Venetians. Side pins, constructed from Zamac, are an innovative means of stabilising and improving the performance of these blinds.

Zamac is a family of alloys with a base metal of Zinc, with elements of Aluminium, Magnesium and Copper. These pins are machine riveted to the slats which then engage into the side channels. Each extruded aluminium side guide has a plastic insert (or keder) which acts to minimise friction, resistance and resonance.

Type 3:
Specifications as per Type 2 with the addition of Double Pinning which incorporates Side Pins on both sides of individual slats.

Combinations of Wire Guides and Side Channels
The option is available for utilising both Side Channels and Wire Guides on alternating sides of individual blinds should it be required.
