All our TradeChoice Starwood Blind headrails are made from very strong PVC material – colour co-ordinated to match the blind colour as closely as possible.
All our TradeChoice Starwood Blind bottom bars are hollow, so we include a set of plastic, colour co-ordinated end caps with each blind. The end caps are usually inserted in production, but occasionally these may be left in the bracket box for the customer to install. In this case, simply slot each end cap into the bottom bar profile – no tools needed.
All necessary brackets and components are included in your delivery. We do not include fixing screws or wall plugs as different windows require different fixings. It’s straightforward to fit the blinds using our universal brackets. These can be face, side or top fixed to the window, wall or lintel.
As standard, our blinds are supplied with a Right Hand Raise and Left Hand Tilt operation. For TradeChoice Starwood Venetian Blinds, we do not offer the facility to switch the control sides.
We cut our blinds from pre-manufactured box sizes. As a result, the ends will be unfinished and the plastic material is visible when viewed side on. This is self coloured and does not pose any concerns – whether fitted inside or outside a window Recess.
We leave the pelmet “Uncut” at the standard box size. We recommend you use a standard hacksaw to cut the pelmet to size. The pelmet arrives mitred on one side only – as standard we include both mitre pieces. Within each product page, we offer “Flush Cut to Size” and “Pelmet Cut & Mitred With Returns” options for an additional cost. The Mitred Returns will always be sent separately from the pelmet to prevent them from breaking in transit. The fixings to join these together are all included in your delivery.
We manufacture the drop to be as close as possible to the measurement you submit, without going under. Occasionally the blind may be slightly longer than the specified drop.
We cannot alter the ladder spacings, so the width of your blind will determine number of ladders. Please contact us if you require to know the specific number of ladders in any blind.
All our blinds are meticulously crafted by highly skilled professionals and are made to measure.
Given the custom nature of our products, there is a Width tolerance of +/- 5mm and a Drop tolerance of +/- 10mm on all Recess, Exact Blind Size, and Bracket to Bracket measurement options. While we strive for accuracy, these tolerances account for machinery and saw blades used in the cutting process.
Wooden Blinds, due to their bespoke cutting, may have small chips on slat edges, with those of 1mm or less falling within our tolerance, invisible at a meter’s distance.
Wooden and Faux Wooden Blinds may arrive with minor scratches on the headrail, covered by the supplied Pelmet/Valance.
Blinds over 2000mm wide, especially Faux Wood, are naturally heavier. Opt for motorization or split larger windows into smaller blinds if concerned about weight. When raising/lowering blinds, use one hand to assist. A bow/sag of up to 2% of the blind’s width in the raised position is normal.
Woodenblinds.co.uk addresses issues on a case-by-case basis to ensure customer satisfaction.
As proud members of the British Blinds & Shutter Association (BBSA), we prioritize the safety of young children. Our commitment is reflected in the blinds we manufacture, adhering to the British & European Safety Standards (BS EN 13120:2009+A1:2014) guidelines.
All our blinds come equipped with a cleat, securely fastening cords to the wall with a clear cord tidy. A breakaway cord condenser is pre-fitted to lift cords, ensuring a safe breakaway in case of horizontal force, eliminating hazardous loops.
For Venetian blinds, cord drops longer than 1000mm are never manufactured. We strongly recommend ensuring the bottom of the cords is at least 1500mm from the floor after installation. While cords of 1000mm may be challenging to reach on high windows, contact us with your Install Height, and we can advise on longer cords, always following the 1500mm guideline.
Our product images serve as illustrative representations. Although we strive for accuracy, factors may affect how colours, textures, or finishes appear on your device. To ensure satisfaction, we recommend ordering a free sample before purchase. Our samples are dispatched via first-class mail on the same day, allowing you to assess colours, textures, and finishes first-hand.
Faux Wood is made from durable PVC plastic, which is waterproof and easy to clean. Our Real Wood blinds are made from 100% real basswood, come in fantastic colours, and feature deep grained textures.
Our Wooden Blinds have two sets of controls. Use the right hand cord to raise and lower the blind; as you raise the bottom bar, each slat stacks atop the other until the blind reaches the headrail where it cannot be raised any higher. Use the left hand cords to tilt the slats in either direction.
Wooden blinds block plenty of light, offering complete privacy when closed, but they cannot be considered a blackout product.
While the slats on wood blinds do overlap each other when closed, some light will still creep around each individual slat.
It is normal for up to two slats to sit on the bottom bar. This covers the punch holes in the bottom and minimises light seepage. On some of our blinds, a second slat sits on the bottom bar; this helps to block light when the blind is closed.
It’s straightforward to measure for our wooden blinds. How you measure will depend on the way you want your blinds to fit – inside the recess or outside of it. For step-by-step instructions, see our full measuring guide for wooden blinds.
We provide a full fitting guide with each of our wooden blinds. This can be downloaded from our website, along with a short demonstration video. Please read and watch these carefully before installation to ensure the best fit for your wooden blinds.
You can clean your faux wood blinds by running a damp cloth over the slats. For real wood blinds, we recommend dusting them with a dry cloth or hoovering with the dust attachment.
If you want a classic yet flexible solution to your room, wooden blinds can’t be beaten for their timeless, stylish look. You can even choose from real wood or faux and from a broad selection of finishes to create the perfect style.
