Wood Blindsprovide a natural, warm alternative to traditional window shades and come in a variety of styles, finishes, and sizes.
The slat width of wood blinds makes a big difference in the type of blind you’ll want to purchase. The narrower the slats, the more slats that are needed for a full-length blind. This means that wood blinds with narrower slats diffuse more light and obstruct more of the view when they are angled open. Wood blinds with wider slats, like those on a blind with 3″ slats, require fewer slats to provide adequate privacy when closed and therefore obstruct less light and view when opened.
Also consider that the number of slats will also make a difference in the wood blinds when they are pulled up. The greater number of slats, the more room they require at the top of the window. Wood blinds with narrow slats will block morelightand view at the top of a window than wood blinds with wider slats.
Regardless of width, all wood blinds provide energy efficiency.Woodis a natural insulator, creating an insulating barrier between the room and the window. This means that wood blinds help save energy and lower cooling and heating costs.
