Wood Blinds - Create the Perfect Window Coverings with Wood Blinds

Wood blinds are the perfect window covering for any and all windows in your home. Adding wood blinds to your home adds an atmosphere of simple classic style with accessories that are durable as well as stylish.

The durability of wood blinds is one of the features that make them so popular. Wood blinds are very long-lasting. This is one reason that they are more expensive than other types of blinds. But the cost in this case does reflect quality. Wood material in itself holds up well for many years. Consider all of the furniture that is made of wood and how long it lasts. It is no wonder that wood has become popular for making window blinds as well.

Wood is one material that has never gone out of style for décor and furniture items, and for that matter, it will never go out of style. Wood blinds, like wood furniture pieces, come in many different styles, textures, and colors. Many different types of wood are used to make wood blinds, which contributes to the different look that different blinds can provide. For example, oak wood blinds provide a light brown warm color and a texture that is relatively smooth. Mahogany wood blinds provide a rich, deep reddish brown color. Wood blinds are a very versatile window covering, since they go well in just about any room of your home. Their style is simple enough that is fits in with any decorating style, from modern to country to rustic to traditional.

Velux Blinds - Cover Your Loft Window or Skylight in Style with Velux Blinds

Skylights and loft windows are great for letting light in, but has there ever been a time that you don’t want that light to shine through? That’s where velux blinds come in.

Velux blinds are window blinds that are specially made to cover skylights and loft windows. Since these windows are at an angle rather than completely vertical, a special type of window covering is needed to cover the skylight or loft window properly. If you try to attach a regular window blind instead of velux blinds to a skylight, it will not cover the window at all, and it will actually hang as if the window is vertical. This looks very silly, and serves absolutely no purpose.

Velux blinds are made to fit on these windows properly to keep light out at certain times. So you may be wondering, how do you reach a velux blind to raise or lower it since it is on a skylight? Do you have to get a ladder every time you want to make an adjustment? This is certainly not the case. Most velux blinds are actually electronically operated by a switch or by remote control.

The one drawback to velux blinds is that they can be expensive. This is due to the special design of the blind, the electronic operation mechanism, and the few manufacturers that make this style of blind. But if you have a skylight or loft window that you would like to limit the light that comes in a certain times of day, the best way to do this is with velux blinds. You won’t be disappointed with the quality and capabilities of your velux blinds.

Measure Your Window for Verticals and Horizontal blinds, Wood blinds, Faux Wood Plantation Shutters

Here are five important things to remember.

1. Use a steel measuring tape

2. Measure to the nearest eighth of an inch - don't round your measurments.

3. On your notes, clearly indicate which measurment is the width and which is the height. It is very common to transpose measures. Please note width first, then height.

4. Do NOT take any deductions for an inside mount. Our factory takes those allowances. You need to provide us with your exact window size opening

5. You need to provide the exact overall blind size needed for an outside mount. Our factory makes all outside mount blinds the exact width you specify.

Choose Inside or Outside Mount:

Before taking any measurements, step back from your window and decide if you want to mount the window treatment inside the window recess or outside on the wall or moulding. For an inside mount, the window opening must have enough unobstructed depth to allow mounting.

Tip: For a flush inside mount (the blind completely recessed so that no part of the blind projects out of the opening) check that you have enough depth and make sure you request the valances be made the same width as blind since they are normally made an inch or two wider.

Tip: We usually recommend an inside mount when possible because it provides a cleaner look. However, an outside mount can make a window appear larger or hide an unattractive window. When you specify inside mount, we will make a size deduction to allow for operating clearance. We will deduct up to 1/4" from each side (on vertical blinds there is also a height deduction of 1/4"). The deductions are made so that the blind will not rub or scratch your window frame. If you specify an outside mount, we will not take any size deductions. When measuring, don't be surprised if your windows aren't square, it probably won't be noticeable.
