Faux Wood Blinds in Perry Barr
£2993 faux wood blinds fitted
Each blind up to 1 metre wide × 1 metre drop.
Faux wood blinds give you the look of timber slats with a material that copes with steam and the odd splash. That makes them a sensible choice for a Perry Barr kitchen, a utility room or a busy family bathroom, where real wood would be the riskier choice. Three fitted for £299 covers the windows most people start with.
Where faux wood blinds work in Perry Barr homes
Slat width changes the character more than the colour does. Narrower slats look neat on a small window and let you fine-tune the angle of light. Wider slats give a calmer, more architectural look and a clearer view when tilted open. We bring both so you can stand at the window and see which feels right from across the room, not just up close. A quick test helps: hold the sample at eye level from the sofa or kitchen table, because that is the distance you will actually see it from.
Faux wood is heavier than aluminium, so the stack at the top is deeper when the blind is raised. On a short window that can cover a noticeable strip of glass. If daylight is precious in the room, we may suggest fixing slightly higher so the raised blind sits above the frame. The measure is where that judgement gets made. Measuring the height of the stack is part of our routine, so you will know before ordering how much glass it covers.
Ladder tapes are worth a thought. Standard cords are discreet, while fabric tapes cover the cord holes and add a soft vertical stripe. Tapes slightly reduce light leaking through the holes when the slats are closed, which helps in a bedroom, but they do need an occasional wipe in a kitchen.
Cleaning is straightforward: close the slats, wipe with a damp cloth, then tilt the other way and repeat. That is a real advantage over fabric blinds in rooms near a hob or kettle, and one reason people who chose fabric for a kitchen often switch to slats the second time round.
Every blind in the faux wood bundle is up to 1 metre wide by 1 metre drop. Larger windows, or anyone wanting real timber instead, will get a separate written quote, and we will confirm the colours and slat sizes included in the offer when we visit.

Questions we hear at the measure
Are faux wood blinds suitable for a kitchen?
Yes. Faux wood copes with steam and wipes clean, which makes it a practical choice near a hob or sink.
What slat width should I choose?
Narrow slats suit small windows; wider slats give a calmer look and clearer view. We bring both to compare.
Can I use BN-14 on the faux wood bundle?
No. BN-14 cannot be combined with any other offer, including the three-for-£299 bundle.
