Product Images

The product images displayed are for illustrative purposes and are intended to give an accurate representation of our wooden Venetian blinds, including real wood blinds and 50mm slat blinds. Please note that factors beyond our control, such as lighting, screen settings, or photography, may slightly affect the perception of colour, texture, or finish. We recommend ordering a complimentary sample of your chosen wooden Venetian blind before purchase to ensure satisfaction with the actual colour, texture, and finish. This helps you make a well-informed decision for your bespoke made to measure wooden blinds.

The Pelmet

Each pelmet is supplied in an “uncut” state at standard box size, giving you the flexibility to customise the dimensions with a standard hacksaw. By default, the pelmet is mitred on one side, and both mitre pieces are included in your package to ensure a seamless and professional finish for your real wood Venetian blind.

Made to Measure Blinds

All made to measure wooden Venetian blinds are manufactured with a tolerance of ±5mm, in addition to any recess deduction. It is essential to provide accurate width and drop measurements when ordering your custom-made wooden blinds, as under standard terms, returns are not available for made-to-measure items. Ensuring precise measurements guarantees a perfect fit for your bespoke window treatment.

The Ends of Your Blind

These wooden blinds are crafted from high-quality standard materials, and the ends may be unfinished or unpainted. This usually presents no issue, particularly for blinds installed within a recess, as the ends remain hidden from view.

Brackets and Controls

Each wooden Venetian blind package comes complete with all essential brackets and fittings, allowing versatile installation. Our universal brackets support face-fix or top-fix mounting to the window, wall, or lintel. Note that side fitting is not recommended for wooden blinds installed within a recess, due to the necessary deduction.

• Raise control: Positioned on the right-hand side

• Tilt control: Located on the left-hand side for easy operation

These controls and brackets ensure your made to measure real wood blinds are both functional and stylish.

The Drop of Your Blind

The exact drop of your wooden Venetian blind depends on the slat size selected. While we aim to produce blinds exactly to your requested drop, slight variations may occur, and your blind could be marginally longer than the ordered measurement. This ensures the perfect fit and light control for your bespoke 50mm slat wooden blinds.
