- What factors play a role in sun and light proofing?
Transmission:
The amount of light that passes through the sun-proofing (light permeability) and the amount of heat that passes through the sun-proofing (radiation permeability).
Absorption:
The amount of light that is absorbed by the sun proofing (light absorption) and the amount of heat that is absorbed by the sun proofing (radiation absorption).
Reflection:
The amount of light that is reflected by the sun proofing (light reflection) and the amount of heat that is reflected by the sun proofing (radiation reflection).
These values are expressed in percentages and combined always make up 100 %.

- Why do more and more businesses decide to install blinds instead of curtains?
Because blinds offer so many more advantages! For instance, you can orient their position in innumerable ways according to the degree of light intensity you want, something that is impossible to do with curtains. Our vinyl blinds can also completely exclude light and have a low reflection ratio, something of great importance in environments where a lot of computers are being used. Furthermore, blinds are equally decorative but much more hygienic and maintenance-friendly than curtains!
- Do vinyl blinds have an insulating quality?
Yes.
- How can I prevent tired and irritated eyes?
The human eye adjusts itself automatically to light intensity: the pupil contracts in bright light and dilates when the light grows dimmer. This automatic eye movement rhythm can tire the eye excessively, especially when the light is being reflected from a computer screen. For this means a double light intrusion for the eye, which leads to eye irritations.
In the Lecluyse assortment you will find an array of solutions for this problem. For our blinds make it possible for you to regulate the incoming light intensity at your choice, thus increasing your visual comfort to the maximum!
- Where can I get technical information and test results?
All information about technical parameters (reflection ratio, light density, impact resistance, color fastness, elasticity, etc.), as well as the test results and reports by independent research institutions, can be forwarded on request. Kindly contact our export sales department.
- How can I be sure that my blinds are true Lecluyse blinds?
The Lecluyse blinds can easily be recognized by their unique Lecluyse-brand mark engraved into the product.
- Are Lecluyse/Korbel/Korbel-Eco blinds environmentfriendly products?
Yes. All of our blinds are equally environment-friendly, and the recycling-program is applicable to the entire gamut of products (with the exception of Topline Deco).
- Are new blinds manufactured from recycled materials of the same high quality as blinds made from entirely new materials?
Yes. The quality of both kinds of blinds was tested by TNO in Delft, an internationally accredited research laboratory. The test demonstrated that both kinds of blinds scored equally high.
Lecluyse never fails to deliver top quality products!
- Is the Lecluyse return system applicable worldwide?
At present, the volumes are not yet large enough to apply this system on a worldwide scale. The system is working seamlessly in the Benelux countries, France, and Germany. Other countries will shortly join the list.
- What can I do with my old blinds when they are not Lecluyse blinds?
Each country has its own rules and regulations with respect to the elimination of waste products. For more information, we recommend that you contact the department of "waste disposal and container parks" in your municipality.
- What are the warranty conditions?
The warranty period and warranty conditions are stated on the specifications fiche.
- How expensive are the rigid vinyl vertical slats compared to fabric blinds?
The price per meter is comparable, and both synthetic and fabric materials feature a number of economical as well as expensive models. Working with rigid vinyl vertical slats is indeed a simpler process and only a saw and a punch machine are needed to finish the louver. The suspension of the blinds is also less complex as there are no bottom weights needed to keep the slats down.
- Why are rigid vinyl vertical slats not stocked/delivered in rolls?
It is an inherent feature of these vertical blinds that they are to be stocked, transported, processed and cut in a flat, level state. Remember, if a blind were to be rolled up, it would never hang straight down afterwards.
- How many meters of blinds are put inside a container?
Flat blinds in a 20-foot container: about 210.000 per running meter
Flat blinds in a 40-foot container: about 420.000 per running meter
Curved blinds in a 20-foot container: about 100.000 per running meter
Curved blinds in a 40-foot container: about 200.000 per running meter
- To how many different countries does Lecluyse currently export its products?
To some 40 different countries.
- What is the customs code for rigid vinyl vertical slats?
3925 3000
- Can all trucks transport these blinds?
Yes, provided that the truck can open up one of its sides to allow a forklift to slide the long pallets inside.
- Why are bottom weights and bottom chains unnecessary for rigid vinyl vertical slats the way they are needed with the fabric product?
These rigid vinyl vertical slats hang straight down naturally by their own mass and no weights are needed for the purpose. They are also inherently rigid and heavy enough so that a chain link is superfluous
- Can I also order tailor-made products from Lecluyse?
Yes, that is no problem at all. At your choice, we can also punch the desired holes in the slats according to your specifications.
- How are the blinds cleaned?
The rigid vinyl vertical slats require little cleaning. When necessary, the procedure is very simple, namely: wash with a mild detergent and water, also rinse with the detergent and the water and let dry. You will achieve the best results by not rinsing the slats with clean water and not wiping them dry.
- When do I qualify for gratis transport?
For all European countries, we assume the transport costs as of one fully loaded truck, namely approximately 25 tons or 280.000 running meters. And as of a 40.000 euro order value, there is F.O.B. delivery from Antwerp.
