wooden blinds — the short version
Wooden blinds add warmth that no other blind type can match. Real-timber slats catch and soften the light, and the grain in stained finishes brings character to plain modern rooms and to traditional sash windows alike.
We use FSC-sourced basswood for its strength-to-weight ratio. That keeps the blinds light enough to operate smoothly even on wide windows, and stops the slats bowing over time.
What makes the install last
- Stainless and brass fixings only — no plated steel into damp reveals.
- Fabrics matched to room conditions (steam, light, traffic).
- Tracks and headrails sized to the actual drop, not the nearest size up.
- Brackets fixed into substrate, not into render or lath.
Before you book a survey in Canterbury
- Closed at night: full privacy, no streetlight leak, warmer feel underfoot.
- Tilted in the day: light pushed deep into the room without losing the view.
- Layered with a soft Roman above: hotel-style softness on top of precision light control.
- Painted to match trim: the window stops shouting and starts framing the view.
