Narrow slat plastic ones bend easily when you try to wipe them in situ, and as years have passed they are getting brittle.

These plastic ones have seen me through 9 years and were Glynn Webb cheapos, trimmed and fitted by me. I once was fit enough to take them down and soak them at least once a year. Now I don't have a bath to soak them in they are bothersome.

PS just seen your post Susie - will look for their website - thanks
I got some blinds from a chap who joined Accyweb about last October, mine weren't venetian but I know he does all types of blinds, He's called Michael. I'll take a look and see if I can find his brochure, I know the blinds he fitted were first class and very reasonable too, infact I'm thinking of replacing the blinds in both my living room and bedroom shortly and I'll certainly be contacting this chap, he's an Accy Lad, he lives and works in Burnley
