However they are at a severe disadvantage due to the limited manufacturing options \u2013 unlike aluminium blinds, wooden slats cannot be made in the Z or S shapes. The wood is also more demanding in terms of maintenance.<\/p>\n<h2>The main thing is to check the component material.<\/h2>\n<p>Apart from slats, you should also inquire about the materials used to <strong>make the individual components<\/strong> of the blinds. Verify the quality especially for plastic parts \u2013 low-quality plastics easily break, are deformed by heat and do not last very long, especially when used for stressed parts (such as guiding pins).<\/p>\n<p>Focus on the following components:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Textile strip<\/strong> \u2013 among the most stressed components, it needs to be very strong and resistant (e.g., against abrasion or UV radiation). While 6mm strips are often used, we at NEVA work with <strong>8mm <\/strong>textile strips imported from Switzerland. It is the highest quality strip according to independent tests. Our blinds also feature curved openings that do not cut the strip during actuation of the blind.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ladder<\/strong> \u2013 facilitates tilting of the slats and needs to be strong enough to prevent fraying. We use ladders reinforced with Kevlar \u2013 a material commonly used for planes or bulletproof vests.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ladder coupler<\/strong> \u2013 we make them from <strong>stainless steel<\/strong> so that they\u2019re strong, resistant and extend the lifespan of the blinds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bearing<\/strong> \u2013 at NEVA, we use bearings with a <strong>built-in conical needle<\/strong>, which can be used to adjust the flatness of the lower profile, which will be appreciated by installers if the blinds have been knocked about, e.g., during transport.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slat sealing<\/strong> \u2013 usually sensitive to heat, it can become brittle and fall apart over time. That is why at NEVA, we use seals made of high quality plastic that resists high temperatures and lasts for many years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Guiding pin<\/strong> \u2013 for Z90, Z70 and S90 blinds, <strong>we use elliptical metal pins,<\/strong> which reduce the noise made by the blinds (e.g. in strong winds). We use plastic pins for other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/en\/advice-and-instructions\/the-comprehensive-slat-selection-guide-find-out-which-type-is-the-most-suitable-for-your-home\/\">types of blinds<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/neva-materialy-venkovnich-zaluzii-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/neva-materialy-venkovnich-zaluzii-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/neva-materialy-venkovnich-zaluzii-2-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/neva-materialy-venkovnich-zaluzii-2-1280x640.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/neva-materialy-venkovnich-zaluzii-2-940x470.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/neva-materialy-venkovnich-zaluzii-2-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.neva.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/neva-materialy-venkovnich-zaluzii-2-425x213.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin: -1em 0 0 0; color: #b1b3b3;\"><em>Have a look at the materials used to make the slats and especially the other components. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Slats and components are still not everything \u2013 correct material selection is significant for other parts of the blinds, such as the <strong>motor<\/strong>.
