How our wooden blinds are built
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.
Before you book a survey in Stelling Minnis
- Reveal depth at all four corners — most Stelling Minnis period reveals are out by 5–15 mm.
- Existing trickle vents and how the dressing will clear them.
- Window operating direction — top-hung, side-hung, sash — to choose the right fixing.
- Headroom above the frame for cassette systems or stack-back on bi-folds.
