Wood Blinds & Faux Wood Blinds
Wood slats and faux wood slats have been one of the most popular window covering solutions for some time for many good reasons. They are installed with a tight fit so have little light seepage, adjustability gives you a range of light filtering and they can be priced well for all budgets.
Full range of coverage at great value
Whether you get a white finish in either a smooth or textured finish to match a frame finish or a variety of wood colours and stains – these wooden blinds can be a beautiful extension of your window trim finishing that compliments all styles of interiors.
Many window coverings tend to be more limited with light coverage – if they are blackout then they always block light – if they are a sheer then you will always see through. Adjustable wooden slat blinds are different!

Wooden blinds can block a lot of light since when adjusted to the closed position, there are very little spots where light can seep through. Therefore they can be ideal for bedrooms or offices where complete light blockage is important. However, it is not considered blackout since some light will seep through cracks, and also along the edges where the blinds meet the frame.

The solid surface of wooden blinds have a matte finish which feels warmer than a cool, polished look. With a variety of wood finishes available wood can be a warm accent to your windows and space. Whether it’s a modern light stain or a more traditional dark finish.

Adjustable light filtering
One of the biggest advantages of a wood or faux wood slat blind is the range of adjustability you get with the slats. With a full 90° range of tiltability this provides many angles to filter, bounce and block light streaming into your home.
This is especially useful as the sun moves throughout the day (and time of year) so you can continue to adjust your window blinds appropriately as needed. So, they are not only extremely functional, but also very clean and modern.


Easy cleaning & maintenance
Since wood and faux wood blinds are made from solid slats constructed of real wood or a polymer they can easily be wiped, dusted and cleaned. The tilting mechanism both up and down makes cleaning blinds even easier to get clear access to the horizontal surface of the blinds.
A faux wood blind is also a functional choice in areas of higher moisture like bathrooms and kitchens. With so much built-in functions wood blinds are a great choice when you want to finish your whole home in one style of window fashion.
