Fauxwood Venetian Blinds
Combining the timeless look of real wood with modern durability, Fauxwood Venetian Blinds (also known as Plaswood) have become an increasingly popular window treatment for contemporary homes.
Crafted to withstand high humidity and temperature fluctuations, they offer an ideal, budget-friendly solution without compromising on style.
Key Benefits & Features
- Moisture & Heat Resistant: Engineered specifically for high-humidity environments like kitchens and bathrooms, though stylish enough for any room in the house.
- Sleek Proportions: Styled with classic 50mm slats for maximum light control and optimal view-through when open.
- Coordinated Aesthetics: Feature colour-matched ladder strings and cords, along with a matching wood valance to neatly conceal the headrail.
- Filtered Natural Light: Designed to offer versatile privacy and light regulation, allowing soft ambient illumination while blocking direct glare.
What You Need to Know
- Weight & Sizing: Because dense fauxwood material carries some weight, large openings are best divided into multiple smaller blinds for easier daily operation.
- Proper Operation: Always tilt the slats to a fully horizontal, open position before raising or lowering the blind to prevent cord strain and ensure smooth function.
- Coastal Environments: While far more resilient than natural timber in damp or oceanfront settings, keeping rooms well-ventilated helps maintain the blinds in peak condition.
- Natural Texture Variation: Fauxwood faithfully mimics real wood grain, meaning subtle texture and tone variations across slats are normal and add to their authentic appeal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What slat dimensions and finishing details do these blinds feature?
The wooden and bamboo blinds feature standard 50 mm width horizontal slats designed for precise light control. The top headrail comes neatly covered with a matching wood valence for a polished finish. Additionally, the operational ladder strings and control cords are fully color-coordinated to blend seamlessly with the chosen blind finish.
Which Venetian blinds work best for humid areas like kitchens and bathrooms?
Fauxwood Venetian blinds are specifically recommended for installation in kitchens, bathrooms, and coastal locations with high humidity or moisture content. Unlike natural wood, which can warp or shift over time in damp environments, fauxwood materials withstand heat and moisture exposure reliably, making them a durable, practical choice for wet areas.
How should users properly operate Venetian blinds to prevent damage?
When raising or lowering the blind stack, users must always ensure the 50 mm slats are tilted completely into the open horizontal position. Operating the cord controls while slats remain closed creates unnecessary mechanical strain on the tilt mechanism, which can cause internal cord wear or misalign the horizontal slats.
Do natural wooden Venetian blinds offer complete light blockout?
Natural wooden Venetian blinds do not provide total light blockout, as small gaps between the 50 mm slats permit soft diffused illumination into the room. Furthermore, because real wood features unique grain patterns, minor natural color variations may occur across individual slats, adding authentic visual character to the installation.

What you need to know
- As wood is heavy, we advise not to order a too-long blinds, and rather break the window or door area up.
- When pulling up or lowering the blind please ensure the blind is tilted to the open position.
- Over time, there may be some change in colour of the natural wood (just as if it were still in nature).
- Due to the nature of the wooden blinds, a height variation may occur, but our installers try to ensure as much accuracy when fitting.
- Wooden blinds are not ideal for very wet areas, i.e., near the sea, so be sure to keep the blinds open to allow them to air and ventilate / fauxwood blinds are better suited to these areas.
