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.
Local considerations that affect the quote
- Most Edwardian terraces, mid-century semis on the cliffs, Maxton estate have non-square reveals that catalogue sizes don't cope with.
- High-street chains build to nearest-5 mm; we build to the exact survey figure.
- Period houses often need face-fix rather than recess-fix — surveyed individually.
- Coastal and downland properties need cassette or side-channel options that catalogues skip.

Three-metre patio sliders needed a panel-glide system on a quad-track so all four panels stack neatly to one end when the doors are open.
