Natural Real Wood Blinds

Upgrade the look of your home with 100% natural, custom wood blinds direct from The Wood Blinds and Shutter Factory. Natural wood grain really stands out and gives your home a warm feeling, especially with a stained finish. Our North American Basswood venetian-style blinds are available in 1", 2" and 2-1/2" slat sizes.

Environmentally Friendly

Basswood is a popular choice among the environmentally conscious because it is a renewable resource that is available in greater supply compared to other types of wood that are sometimes harvested from endangered trees throughout the world. And, unlike faux blinds, our real wood blinds are not made from material containing chemicals such as PVC.

Special Features - Standard or Routeless Build

routed versus routeless

An added benefit of the 2" and 2-1/2" blinds is that they are available in both a "standard" build with holes drilled in the blind for the control lines and a "routeless" build with no holes in the blind which allows the blinds to close more tightly. If you are particularly concerned about privacy or shutting out as much light as possible then routeless construction is the way to go.

Advantages of Wood Blinds

You'll find that wood blinds are lighter weight than faux wood, which makes them easier to operate and involves less wear and tear on the control mechanisms, leading to a longer lifespan for your blinds. Plus the fact that real wood blinds are more sturdy than faux wood results in there being fewer string ladders which means a clean, clutter free look.

Real wood blinds work best in low moisture areas like dens, living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. We advise customers to avoid hanging real wood blinds in high moisture areas like bathrooms and laundry rooms because natural wood has a tendency to absorb moisture.

Easy Installation

Many of the blind companies you see online sell blinds in stock sizes that have to be "cut down" to fit your windows. Our custom wood blinds are built to your exact measurements and come out of the box ready to install. In most cases no trimming or adjustments are needed, just hang and enjoy! Our blinds also come from the factory with an attractive valance to hide the head rail.
