• FAQ:

  What are Plaswood blinds?

  Plaswood blinds are a type of venetian blind made from a composite material that combines hard-wearing plastic and wood. They offer the natural look and feel of real wood blinds but with added durability, moisture resistance, and are easier to maintain. Plaswood blinds are ideal for use in humid environments such as bathrooms, kitchens, sunrooms, and coastal areas, as they do not warp, crack, or split like traditional wooden blinds. Developed in South Africa to withstand harsh climate conditions, they provide a stylish, long-lasting window treatment option.

  What is the disadvantage of wooden blinds?

  Wooden blinds, while aesthetically warm and natural, are sensitive to moisture and humidity. This can cause them to warp, crack, or split over time, especially in bathrooms or kitchens. They also tend to be more expensive and require regular maintenance to keep their appearance and durability.

  Which blinds are most expensive?

  Real wooden blinds are typically the most expensive type of blinds due to the cost of natural wood materials and craftsmanship involved. Custom wooden blinds made from exotic or high-quality woods can further increase the price compared to synthetic or composite options like plaswood blinds.

  How to clean plaswood blinds?

  Plaswood blinds are easy to clean and maintain. You can wipe the slats with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use mild soap and water, then dry the slats with a soft cloth. Their composite material makes them resistant to moisture, so they are suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens without risk of damage.

  Are Faux wood/Plaswood Venetian blinds any good?

  Yes, faux wood Venetian blinds are an excellent alternative to real wood blinds. They provide the same elegant look and feel but are more durable, moisture-resistant, and easier to maintain. They are ideal for humid areas and are generally more affordable than real wood blinds.

  What are the cons of Faux wood blinds?

  While faux wood blinds have many advantages, some potential drawbacks include a less natural feel compared to real wood and sometimes limited color or texture options compared to natural wood grain. Additionally, lower-quality faux wood blinds may not be as durable, so choosing high-quality composite materials like plaswood is important.

  What is the best material for Venetian blinds?

  The best material depends on the environment and personal preferences. For moisture-prone areas, composite materials like plaswood or faux wood are ideal due to their durability and resistance to humidity. For a natural look and premium feel, real wood is preferred but requires more care. Aluminium and PVC are also popular for affordability and ease of maintenance.

  Which blinds are better wood or faux wood?

  Both have benefits: wooden blinds offer a natural, warm aesthetic but are sensitive to moisture and costly. Faux wood blinds, such as plaswood, provide similar aesthetics with increased durability, moisture resistance, and easier maintenance at a lower price point. The choice depends on room conditions and budget.
