Wooden Venetian blinds are a very popular and fashionable window covering at the moment. This is because wood blinds offer a warmth lacking in other forms of blinds, and they are also a good option for controlling the light coming into a room.
Slat Sizes of Wooden Venetian Blinds
The slat sizes of Wooden Venetian Blinds normally come in three sizes of slat with at least 7 different colours, so there is plenty of choice and something that will suit your own décor. Delivery is usually just 3 to 4 working days but many suppliers offer an express service if you are in a hurry.

Fitting Instructions
Each blind should come with fitting instructions and versatile brackets to allow you to fix them wherever you can. You need this flexibility to get the best or easiest window fixing position. With quality blinds, and if the blind is large enough to warrant it, it should be supplied with a support bracket which helps take some of the weight from the blind.
Sustainable Materials
All of the wood used in the production of your blinds can be sourced from sustainable sources. This does not normally impact upon the cost so you can shop around with the confidence that you are not draining the planets resources.
