Fine strands of light From the first rays of morning until sunset's fading glow, the path of the sun sets the scene for every room. Venetian blinds with horizontal slats control, guide and regulate the light. They stand at right angles, providing shade or glare-free light. They shepherd in floods of light and open up views to the green outdoors. Sometimes they also spread themselves out to provide protection from curious eyes. Classical venetian blinds suit every ambience. Modest in design, in a variety of colours and décors, they are the perfect addition for every shape of window. Welcome to MHZ Hachtel. 42 3
Day-dreaming in the shade Home at last! The best place to let yourself unwind. Some do so by putting their feet up, others withdraw right away into a quite corner. In familiar surroundings at home, each of us can recharge our batteries in our own way and whatever your mood, MHZ venetian blinds create the right lighting conditions. Sometimes flooded with sunlight, sometimes darkened and sometimes cosily subdued. With unwanted, peering eyes given no chance at all! MHZ INLINE venetian blinds are fitted directly onto the window frames. Windows and balcony doors can therefore be tilted and opened even with the blinds shut (see illustration far right). 4 5
Light dining delights The kitchen is the focal point of life and home. It's here that everyone gathers whenever aromatic fragrances float through the house. Perfectly directed daylight is one ingredient that no good cooking can do without, while for eating and entertaining table guests enjoy a softer ambience. MHZ venetian blinds give just the right dash of natural light to every situation. Cooking fumes and grease particles accumulate on every kitchen surface. Like all other affected surfaces, MHZ venetian blinds can be cleaned: Simply close the blinds and wipe over the entire surface using a window or kitchen cleaner. 6 7
Undisturbed bathtime joy Bathrooms are increasingly being transformed into islands of pampering privacy, fitted out with love and care. The elegant slat structure of MHZ venetian blinds contributes to the exclusive design of such feel-good bathrooms. And all those who don't like to be disturbed while taking their bubble bath, will enjoy the blinds' perfect screening even while they provide clear sight of the sky - an intriguingly simple trick using the little MHZ SUN-PIN. 8 MHZ venetian blinds are as if created for the bathroom. They are made exclusively out of aluminium and high quality synthetic components and can withstand tropical climatic zones within the home and anywhere in the world. When using the MHZ SUN-PIN, the blinds will open only to wherever the little stopper is positioned on the string tape. Order yours straight off with your new blind! 9
Airy climes The conservatory was actually invented for exotic plants. However, the spirits of homeowners also flourish in such a green oasis. In winter, the trapped warmth of the sun also helps to reduce heating costs, while in the sunny season, broad, venetian blinds, well suited to moist conditions, keep conservatories pleasantly airy and bright. Thanks to the rigid head rail, even large MHZ venetian blinds are quick and easy to fit. Flower tubs take precedence: The pull chain can be operated even away from the window. Still greater ease of use is achieved for larger blinds up to 9 m 2 by installing them with an integrated low voltage drive unit or crank handle. The size of the head rail in this case remains just 29 x 29 mm. 10 11
Illuminating ideas Office work is at its nicest from a window seat. Views into the distance inspire new ideas and raise the spirits. MHZ venetian blinds are ideal for this purpose: While giving a clear view outside, they provide glare-free light inside for all screen-based work, and their aluminium design contributes to an airy, businesslike working atmosphere. MHZ venetian blinds are ideally suited for use as partitions (see bottom left). For multiple partitions, the raising and lowering of the blinds and angling of the slats can be controlled at the touch of a button from one location. Even narrow windows don't miss out (see top right): MHZ venetian blinds with pull chain are available from widths of 18 cm. 12 13
Technical elegance MHZ venetian blinds fit into any window situation. This is made possible by the inner workings of the MHZ head rail: The top bar of the MINI venetian blind system is just 1,5 cm in height and the supports can be positioned anywhere. MINI system with delicate top rail System with chain operation The harmonious design shows itself in its detail: The elegant chain of glass beads runs down the front of the blind, thus avoiding any gap of light at the side. Automatic press-button and remote control drives are naturally also available. 14 15
