The louvers are linked together with decorative ladder tapes or standard cords depending on personal choice and requirements.
Wooden Blinds
The beauty of real wood enhances the décor in any room of the house. There are a variety of woods available all with their own unique colours and textures in ready made blinds, with an even greater selection available in custom made wooden blinds.
There are some designs of wooden blinds which have an acrylic lacquer applied to the louvers to make them scratch resistant and fire retardant, making them very durable and practical.
Wood weave blinds are similar in design to roller blinds or Roam blinds in the way they operate. These styles of wooden blind provide a warmth to the window during the cooler months and during the evening by gently diffusing the light to create a cosy atmosphere. Wood weave blinds blend effortlessly with any style of décor and bring a touch of nature into the house being made from renewable sources of Jute, Bamboo, Sea-grass and the popular wood veneers which are woven together with reeds. Each of the choices of wood weaves results in unique products, with each blind reflecting the environment in which the raw material came from.
For a wooden blind with a darker appearance a burnished maple provides a rich chocolate brown which has variations in the grain of the wood in different tones. These beautiful natural wood blinds have a slight colour and grain variation in each of the louvers giving them a distinct uniqueness and individuality. The subtle diffused lighting effects these blinds produce when tilted provides the room with coolness in the summer and a warm glow to the room during the evening.
Teak blinds are perfect for coordinating with dining or office furniture and furnishings, proving elegance to a room while offering privacy and the option of having the louvers tilted to enable light to fill the room.
Luxury wooden blinds which have a lacquer which not only makes them fire retardant, resilient to moisture but helps prevent the blind from fading in the sun are also available. However, some people prefer to have a blind which fades gradually over the years particularly in a more traditional style home.
