Wood Options

Basswood

Lightweight yet strong, basswood offers exceptional grain consistency. Our premium grade basswood is sustainably sourced and finished with multiple protective coats. Natural color variations are minimal, making it ideal for uniform installations.

Available slat widths: 25mm, 35mm, 50mm

Oak

Rich grain patterns and natural durability make oak a premium choice. Each slat showcases unique wood characteristics. Finished with oil-based treatments that enhance natural beauty while providing moisture resistance.

Available slat widths: 35mm, 50mm

Cherry

Warm tones and fine grain define cherry wood blinds. The wood darkens naturally over time, developing a richer patina. Our cherry selection includes both natural and stained finishes to match various interior styles.

Available slat widths: 35mm, 50mm

Operating Mechanisms

Corded Systems

Traditional cord operation provides reliable control. Our corded systems feature smooth-operating pulleys and durable cord materials. Available with continuous loop or standard pull cords. Suitable for all blind types and sizes.

Material Testing & Standards

Fabric Performance Testing

All fabric materials undergo comprehensive testing before inclusion in our collection. Tests include fade resistance under accelerated UV exposure, tensile strength evaluation, and operational cycle testing. Fabrics must pass 10,000 open-close cycles without degradation.

Fire safety testing ensures all materials meet UK Building Regulations for flame spread and smoke generation. Certificates are available upon request for commercial projects requiring documentation.

Wood Quality Standards

Wood components are graded according to British Standard BS 1186 for joinery quality. We use only clear-grade or better timber, ensuring minimal knots and consistent grain patterns. Moisture content is controlled between 8-12% to prevent warping.

Finish testing includes adhesion tests, scratch resistance evaluation, and UV stability assessment. All wood finishes are tested for VOC emissions to ensure compliance with indoor air quality standards.

Environmental Standards

We are committed to sustainable manufacturing practices. All wood is sourced from FSC-certified or PEFC-certified forests. Our fabric suppliers must demonstrate environmental management systems and responsible sourcing practices.

Waste materials from manufacturing are recycled where possible. Fabric offcuts are collected for recycling programs, and wood waste is processed for biomass energy or composting. We continuously review our processes to minimize environmental impact.
