Vental 80af
Tensioned Guide Wire Blind
The Vental 80af external louvre blind is a premium quality external venetian blind and is supplied with tensioned guide wires.
The slats are made from roll-formed 0.45 mm thick pre-coated aluminium coil. The slat is 80 mm wide with a slightly curved profile.
This model blind is tiltable and retractable. It can be adjusted, from inside, to any operable angle, ensuring that the right amount of light enters the room at any time of day.
Set to the appropriate position, the slats will let daylight in, eliminate glare and offer solar heat protection, yet provide privacy. When not required, the blind can be retracted up and out of your view. This is a bonus for window cleaning or for those times when you want the sun to provide additional free heat to your building.
The slats can be tilted from closed to horizontal open in any dropped position (approximately 80º rotation).
The shape of the slats, without a radius edge and no slat inserts, allows this blind to have a much smaller retracted packet than blinds with a radius edge.
Guide wires in 2.5 mm 316 stainless steel wire with a Black PA6 abrasion and chip resistant UV stabilised coating (Optional Translucent coating available).
Bottom rails are clear anodised single-piece extruded aluminium (Optional powder-coat finish available).
Head channels are black anodised extruded aluminium and upward-opening so that the mechanical workings of the blind are less visible.
Each model 80af blind is fitted with an electric motor for easy operation of all the blind functions.
The slats for this model blind are available in a range of standard colours that are always in stock and ready for immediate manufacture.
Blind Slats
The Vental 80af blind has 80 mm wide slats with a slightly curved profile, without a radius edge. The slats can be tilted from closed to horizontal open in any dropped position (approximately 80º rotation).
This slat profile is roll-formed and precision punched from pre-painted aluminium coil that has been painted in polyester enamel.
Lift Tapes and Ladder Cords
Our technical soft components are made from cutting edge materials that are not only strong but resist UV damage, abrasion and shrinking.
These parts are supplied in black as standard.
Guide Wire Brackets
Our guide wires can be face or reveal fix with any of our adjustable guide wire tension brackets. These are available in six sizes from 34-54mm, 50-75mm, 72-100mm, 97-135mm to 132-180mm.
Where guide wires are fitted down to a slab or other structure a top hat fitting is available
These parts are supplied in cast aluminium finish as standard but can be finished in a powder-coat colour as an optional extra.
Guide Wires
This model of blind has a tensioned wire guide system. The guide wires are manufactured from 2.5mm 316 stainless steel wire with a PA6 abrasion and chip resistant UV stabilised coating.
These parts are supplied in black as standard but are available in an optional translucent version.
Bottom Rail
The blind bottom rail is manufactured from an elegant single piece of aluminium extrusion. This seamless section is then precision machined so that the ladder cord terminations and lifting tape points are in exact alignment with the slat hole punches.
These parts are supplied in 25µm clear anodised finish as standard but can be finished in a powder-coat colour as an optional extra.
Headrail
Our headrail system contains all of the driving components for the blind. The entire weight of the blind is also supported by this component.
Headrails are black anodised extruded aluminium and upward-opening so that the mechanical workings of the blind are less visible from below.
The headrails are precision punched to fit the tilt + raise spools as well as the electric venetian blind motor.
These parts are supplied in 10µm black anodised finish as standard.
Venetian Blind Motor
A blind motor is fitted into the head rail of every Vental external venetian blind. The motor performs both the lift / lower and tilt operation function for the blind.
The motor is always positioned around the middle of the blind span width so that the motor torque can be evenly passed through the drive axles to the tilt + raise spools.
For the blind to operate, you will need to arrange for a licensed electrical contractor to provide the correct power and switching to each blind position. See our Standard Motor Wiring Diagram for details.
Cassette Type B Pelmet
This is an optional component that is not included with a standard blind.
The Vental Cassette Type B pelmet is a single-piece aluminium extrusion that is 130 mm high. This minimalist design offers a neat solution to protecting the blind workings where the building design has not already allowed for a constructed blind recess.
This cassette pelmet is designed to be the minimum height required to cover the blind head rail and working components only and is not intended to cover the entire retracted blind packet.
These parts are supplied in 25µm clear anodised finish as standard but can be finished in a powder-coat colour as an optional extra.
