Installation of Wooden Blinds has always been one of the popular choices of aesthetic window coverings. They are basically a type of draping which consists of many long horizontal or vertical slats of wood which are held together by cords that run through the wooden slats. The blinds can be operated from an open to a closed position by a manual or remote control which facilitates the overlapping of the slats and block out the light. Wooden blinds are aesthetically very appealing and they lend a warm and inviting appeal to any kind of modern or traditional interior design.
Various Sub Types of wooden blinds are available in the market:
1.Venetian: In this sub-type numerous horizontal wooden slats are interlaced together by a chord which can either huddle all the wooden slats at the top of the window to open the view completely or simply hold the slats at an angle which enables some light into the room maintaining some level of privacy. These blinds come in a number of finishes which are determined by the type of wood used. They also have different sizes which are determined by the width of each slat (25mm, 35mm or 50mm). This contraption can also be made in the vertical format with the operating mechanism being same as the horizontal one
2. Pinoleum: Consists of small wooden twigs which are laid horizontally and intertwined by vertical threading. Because of the way it is built it can only move upwards. This style has been around since the 19th century
3. Faux Wood: These are used as a substitute to real wood. It’s a fusion of synthetic and natural wood fragments. This is much cheaper than the natural wood. This is popular because of the flexibility it provides along with the natural wood look. It is also more warp resistance than natural wood and is ideal for areas with temperature extremes.
