The venecianas blinds are, like the states of the definition, the fine strips of the material that are chained in a scale of the one “of the sequence” and they are fitted with a close fitting jacket that allows that you vary the inclination and the angle of strips. It is east mechanism of the adjustment more than all the others that make the blinds of the window “the” venecianas blinds.

The use of blinds slatted can be overcome again to the Roman and Greek times. In Pompeii, for example, archaeologists have opened the homes that have fixed marble strips to the openings of the window. He was not until near 1760, although, that the blinds of the window which they could be fit inclining the strips entered a more popular use. These were probably a variation in the stoppers of the window, with the wood strips that could be fit by virtue of a fine strip of the put wood to each strip. In 1841, Juan Hampson de New Orleans patented a method to fit the inclination of strips of the veneciana blind that continues being more the method used to chain the venecianas blinds today working.

Those patterns are a function of the way that the strips of the veneciana blind incline. Typically, we thought about the venecianas blinds like open - with completely horizontal strips to allow in most of the light - or being closed, with strips overlapping firmly to the block towards outside the light. But the several angles of the inclination respond to diverse intentions, many of which they are had lost in the years since the venecianas blinds were the means of the heat control as well as control of the light and the isolation. To incline your venecianas blinds until they reflect the light towards the ceilings in summer, for example, and you will find your quarters you are up to ten degrees of refrigerator that if you made the blinds close totally. To down incline them towards conserving heat aiming the light towards the floor and the heat will warm up the quarter as it rises.
