We've just launched a brand new product at Blinds4You: Cordless Classic White Faux Wood Blinds 50mm. It's a made-to-measure wooden blind made from fauxwood with 50mm slats - and it's our first cordless wooden blind.
What it is
The same as a normal wooden blind but with no cord. The blind uses a spring system - you raise and lower it by hand and it holds where you leave it. Simply lift or guide it from the bottom to the height you want, then stop. The easiest blind to get to the position you want. A wand tilts the slats open or closed, giving you the fine control you require to control your privacy and the amount of light you get in a room. They look modern and more sleek than traditional corded wooden blinds. This is a great addition to any room.
Wooden blinds are built to stay down and mainly tilt - you open the slats for a view, soften the light through the day and close them for privacy. Lifting the full stack is the occasional move, not the daily one - which is why cordless suits this product so well.
Why you'd want it
You get the warm horizontal look of a wooden blind without a raise cord hanging in the room. That matters if you're fitting out a new room or a remodel and you'd rather not drill child safety cleats into fresh plaster, paint or tiles. It also matters in family homes, where a child safe window covering can provide extra peace of mind.
These blinds are made from fauxwood, so they're waterproof and a practical choice for kitchens and bathrooms where moisture is part of daily life - fit them without worrying about moisture the way you might with real timber. The same clean Classic White finish, wand tilt for light and privacy and no hanging raise cord also suit a living room, bedroom, dining room or study, where you want a warm wooden blind look that stays sleek day to day.
They're made to measure for your window, so you get that perfect fit every time. Light can still show at the edges and between the slats, so if you need a fully dark bedroom, pair them with curtains or a blackout roller or Roman.
