Things to Consider about Wooden Venetian Blinds

  • Large blinds can be heavy to draw up and down
  • There is light bleed between each slat and around the edges, so additional coverings may be required for a blackout effect
  • Child safety devices (required by law on Venetian blinds from any retailer) can be fiddly to put back together
  • Venetian blinds need to be cleaned regularly to prevent dust build up
  • Dark coloured Venetian blinds will fade over time in windows that get a lot of sun exposure
  • All coloured blinds will fade to some extent, colour fade is true for almost any product – like cars or furniture
  • Venetian blinds with tapes are harder to clean than those with cords
  • If the tapes on Venetian blinds do become dirty or damaged, they can be replaced for a fee that depends on the blind size
  • They can be tricky to take down and put back up again if this is ever required

More Information about Wooden Venetian Blinds

Wooden Venetian blinds have been the most popular blind of the last few years and will probably continue to be so. This timeless classic combines everything you need in a blind – it can reduce light entering a room or be totally closed, and it can increase privacy even when open. The luxurious wooden louvres create an elegant style and look amazing.

They are suitable for almost any window. The option to tilt and turn the louvres provides great light control and privacy. Also, they can be raised up to allow a clear window or can be closed to reduce light and give privacy.

Our made-to-measure Wooden Venetian Blinds are made by our expert staff in our local factory. We can survey and then install your new made-to-measure wooden Venetians, usually in around 1-2 weeks’ time from start to finish.

At Excell Blinds, safety is our top priority. All our blinds and shutters are designed with safety-first principles, ensuring they meet the highest standards for child and family protection. We are committed to complying with the latest child safety regulations and guidelines, as outlined by the British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA) and the “Make it Safe” campaign. Our products feature safety enhancements such as cordless options, tensioned systems, and compliant cord safety devices to minimize risks in your home.

For more information about keeping your blinds and shutters safe, we recommend visiting the BBSA’s child safety page and the Make It Safe campaign. These resources provide valuable guidance to ensure your home remains a secure and comfortable environment for everyone.

How much do made-to-measure wooden Venetian blinds cost?

Their cost depends on a number of factors, including the width and height of the blind you need.

Estimated prices for seven wooden Venetian blinds (the average number of blinds needed on a typical home) will range between £550 – £1000 (depending on the size and style selected).

Which is better: Wooden Venetian blinds or Faux Wood Venetian blinds?

This is one of the most frequently asked questions we get at Excell Blinds! As with all blinds, this is subjective to personal taste, but in our opinion Wooden Venetian blinds provide a slightly more luxurious look and feel. However, there is very little difference between the real wood and faux wood in terms of the finished look. Therefore, faux wood is now more popular than real wood, as it looks very similar but is about 15% less expensive than real wood.

Do wooden blinds warp?

Yes, they can. As it’s made from a natural material, it can expand and contract a little when heated and cooled. However, this is usually minimal. Long-term exposure to humidity can cause them to absorb the moisture from the air and swell, causing warpage. For this reason, Wooden Venetian blinds are not recommended for bathrooms or areas of high humidity.

Do wooden Venetian blinds make the room appear darker when fitted?

Yes, they can, but it depends entirely on the colour chosen. The darker the colour, the darker the room will appear. If you opt for a light colour like white or a pale wood, this can actually brighten a room up.

Are they blackout?

No, they are not blackout, however they will darken a room significantly. There is some light bleed between the slats and around the edges of the blind. If blackout is needed, we can fit a blackout roller blind behind the wooden Venetian blinds for additional darkness. For best blackout results, pair them with a roman blind or a curtain.
