Horizontal slats give you a familiar, practical way to adjust light and privacy. Compare the character of real wood with the finishes and everyday practicality of faux wood.
Faux wood gives horizontal slats a painted or wood-look finish using an alternative to natural timber. Compare current material samples and the weight of the proposed blind. It can be considered for humid rooms, but suitability still depends on the product and exposure; we check width, handle clearance and operating options.
Natural wood slats bring grain, colour variation and warmth to a room. Tilt the slats for light control or raise the blind for a clearer view. We compare available stains and painted finishes with your trim, then assess slat size, mounting depth and the material’s suitability for the room conditions.
Tilt the slats to change the amount of light entering a room, or raise the blind when you want the window open to the view. We help you compare wood and faux-wood samples, finishes and sizes so the choice works with your trim, furniture and daily use.

MAKE IT YOURS
The options to consider.
01
Wood or faux wood
Compare the finish and feel of the available ranges. For kitchens, bathrooms or other humid rooms, tell us about the conditions so we can review material suitability.
02
Slat size & finish
Review the scale of the slats against the window and compare painted or wood-tone finishes with your interior samples.
03
Mounting & operation
Window depth, handle clearance, blind weight and cordless operation all need consideration. Wider windows may be better served by multiple blinds.
Real wood blinds offer natural grain and warmth. Faux wood blinds offer painted or wood-look finishes in alternative materials. Compare slat weight, window width, finish and room conditions; neither choice is automatically suitable for every opening.
Is faux wood a good choice for a bathroom?+
It may be an option, depending on the selected product and the room conditions. Tell us about moisture, ventilation and exposure before choosing a material.
Can I match the blinds to existing wood trim?+
Bring a trim sample or clear photos to your consultation. We can compare available finishes, although an exact match to an existing stain cannot be assumed.
