Wood Blinds — Bring A Feeling Of
Nature To Your Home!
Real wood has been used for hundreds of years for home-building and furniture.
In our busy and stressful lives it gives us a feeling of warmth and relaxation.
That’s why even now we so willingly use natural wood for our home interior. If
you are passionate about natural wood blinds for your windows in spite their
high price, don’t feel guilty—your passion is understandable and you are not
alone.
Like other wood items at home, wooden window blinds add richness and a feeling of comfort. Well-matched to your wooden floor or furniture, they supplement the room’s interior and make your home more attractive.
Wood Venetian blinds (window blinds with horizontal slats) are made of real wood and are held together by cord ladders. The slats come in different sizes, shapes, and colors.
You can choose:
1” blinds, which are considered wood mini blinds
2” blinds, the most popular choice
2.5”–3” blinds, which give you a feeling of wood plantation shutters
There is a wide range of finishes, colors, and shades of real wood that you can
select, from light honey to mahogany. And, if you want, you can even get black
wooden blinds for your home.
Wooden window blinds are made of several types of wood: American Basswood, or
premium wood, is sturdier, has a higher quality, and, of course, a higher
price. A second type is Ramin wood, which is not so sturdy, and is less
expensive.
Wooden blinds are lightweight, durable, have excellent UV protection,
insulation, and sound absorption.
Cord holes in blinds slats don’t allow you to block light completely, but many
companies offer decorative tapes for their horizontal blinds, which hide the
holes and also add a decorative accent to wood slats. You can also get
additional features for your blinds, such as cordless or motorization options.
Wood blinds look very attractive in almost any interior, and can give a feeling
of luxury to a very plain room. But they are not soil and dust resistant, and
can scratch easily. Therefore if you want to see a complete wooden décor in
your bathroom or kitchen, consider faux wood blinds instead, which look like real wood, but at the same time are more practical in
high humidity areas.
Cleaning wooden blinds shouldn’t be difficult, if you do it regularly. Clean
them with a soft, dry cloth, feather duster, or vacuum with a dust brush
attachment. And if you want to make cleaning process easier - try one of cleaners designed specially for window blinds: mini blind brush or mini blind vacuum attachment
.
Wood blinds can be very costly, especially when you need them for several
windows, so measure for them accurately, if you decide to do it by yourself. A
small mistake can cost you a lot of money! If you are not sure about your
measuring skills, let a professional do this job.
Real wood is an excellent insulator and your beautiful blinds will keep your home warmer in winter and cool in hot summer. As I mentioned above they are quite expensive, but they will save you a lot of money in future on electricity bills.
