Wooden Blinds in Delhi NCR

Real basswood and faux wood venetian blinds — 25, 35 or 50 mm slats, ladder cord or decorative tape, tilted precisely for exactly the light you want.

Warm premium look | Precise slat tilt | Real wood & faux wood

Wooden blinds do something no fabric blind manages: tilt the slats and you control light and sightlines separately — bright room, no view in from outside. They also bring warmth to a room that rollers and zebras cannot. The one thing to be clear-eyed about is humidity: real timber and Indian bathrooms do not mix, and we would rather tell you that now than replace warped slats after the monsoon.

Real Wood or Faux Wood?

Factor	Real Wood (Basswood)	Faux Wood
Look	Genuine grain, warmer, more premium	Convincing but flatter grain
Humidity	Warps and swells — dry rooms only	Unaffected — kitchens, bathrooms, utility
Weight	Lighter for the same slat size	Heavier — limits width sooner
Cost	Higher	Considerably lower
Cleaning	Damp cloth only, dried immediately	Wipes clean freely
Colour stability	Can lighten in strong direct sun	Holds colour better
Best for	Living rooms, bedrooms, studies	Kitchens, bathrooms, rentals, budget

Do not put real wooden blinds in a bathroom. Sustained steam and humidity make timber slats swell, warp and twist out of line, and no finish prevents it indefinitely in Indian conditions. The same applies immediately above a kitchen sink or beside a hob. Specify faux wood or PVC blinds for those rooms — they look similar from a metre away and will still be straight in three years.

Slat Width

25 mm

Fine, detailed look. Small windows, traditional interiors, and where the blind should read as texture rather than as slats.

35 mm

The middle ground — more presence than 25 mm without dominating a modest window.

50 mm

The popular choice for living rooms. Bolder, shows more grain, clearer view when tilted open, fewer slats to dust.

One practical point on wide slats: a 50 mm blind stacks into a deeper bundle at the top when fully raised than a 25 mm one. On a shallow recess or a window where you want maximum clear glass, that stack depth is worth checking before you choose the widest slat.

Ladder Cord or Decorative Tape

Standard wooden blinds carry the slats on thin ladder cords, and each slat has small holes where the lift cord passes through. Those holes let pinpoints of light through when the blind is closed — usually unnoticeable, occasionally annoying in a bedroom.

Ladder cord — standard, economical, slightly more visible hardware, pinhole light when closed
Decorative tape — a fabric strip that hides the holes, blocks the pinhole light, and gives a more tailored finish. Costs more, and is worth it at eye level or in a bedroom
Valance — a matching timber cover across the head rail; the detail that makes a wooden blind look built-in rather than fitted

Where Wooden Blinds Work Best

Living room50 mm slats, natural stain — the classic application

Study / libraryTilt for reading light without glare on a screen or page

BedroomWorks well with tape to cut pinhole light; add a curtain for full blackout

Dining roomWarmth and a finished look for a formal room

Office cabinsPremium impression, privacy on demand by tilting

Kitchen & bathroomFaux wood only — never real timber

Care

Dust with a soft brush or vacuum brush attachment, slats closed flat, then reversed and done again. Slats show dust far more than fabric.
Real wood: damp cloth only, dried immediately. Never let water sit on timber slats and never use a wet cloth along the grain.
Faux wood: wipe freely with a damp cloth and mild detergent — the practical advantage that makes it right for kitchens.
Tilt closed before raising. Raising a blind with slats tilted open is what bends slats and stresses the cords.
Do not force a stuck cord. On a heavy wooden blind, forcing the lift mechanism is how head rails get damaged.
Keep real wood out of driving rain through an open window — an afternoon of monsoon spray does lasting damage.

What Determines the Price of Wooden Blinds

We quote per window rather than publishing a rate card. The drivers:

Real wood or faux wood — the biggest factor by a wide margin; basswood costs considerably more than a moulded faux slat
Slat width — wider slats use more material per blind, though they need fewer slats
Window area — priced largely by size, and wooden blinds are among the heavier products, so large units cost more in both material and hardware
Ladder cord or decorative tape — tape adds material and labour and gives a more finished result
Finish — standard stains are the value option; specialist paints and premium finishes cost more
Valance — a matching head cover is an extra but is what makes the blind look built-in
Mechanism — cord lift is the baseline; cordless and motorised cost more, and motorisation matters more here than on light blinds because these are heavy to raise
Splitting wide windows — wooden blinds split earlier than other types, so a wide window may need two units where a roller would not

The honest saving: if the room is not one people study closely — a spare bedroom, a utility window — faux wood at a fraction of the price is nearly indistinguishable from a metre away. Put the real basswood where it is seen and touched daily.

At measurement we check stack depth for wide slats, confirm whether the window is dry enough for real timber, and advise where faux wood is the better specification.

Wooden blinds are heavy units. Please arrange gate entry and lift access in advance and tell us the floor when booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between real wood and faux wood blinds?

Real wooden blinds, usually basswood, are lighter for their size, have genuine grain and a warmth faux wood cannot fully match, and suit dry living rooms, bedrooms and studies. Faux wood is a PVC or composite slat moulded to look like timber — heavier for the same size, unaffected by moisture, and considerably more economical. The practical rule in India: real wood where it stays dry, faux wood anywhere humidity or splashing is a factor.

Can wooden blinds be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

Real wooden blinds should not go in a bathroom, and are a poor choice near a hob or sink. Sustained humidity and steam make timber slats swell, warp and twist out of line, and no finish prevents it indefinitely in Indian conditions. For these rooms specify faux wood, which looks similar and is unaffected by moisture, or PVC blinds. We will tell you this before taking the order rather than after the first monsoon.

What slat width should I choose for wooden blinds?

Commonly 25 mm, 35 mm and 50 mm. A 25 mm slat gives a fine detailed look suiting small windows and traditional interiors. A 50 mm slat is most popular for living rooms — bolder, shows more grain, clearer view when tilted, fewer slats to dust. 35 mm sits between. Wider slats also stack into a deeper bundle when raised, which matters on a shallow recess.

Are wooden blinds heavy, and does that limit the width?

Yes to both. Timber and faux wood slats are substantially heavier than roller fabric, so a wide wooden blind becomes hard to raise, loads the head rail and brackets, and can sag over time. They are therefore split into two units at a narrower width than roller or zebra blinds — and faux wood is heavier again than basswood, so its practical limit is lower still.

What is the difference between ladder cord and decorative tape?

Ladder cord is the standard support — thin cords carrying the slats, with small holes in each slat where the lift cord passes, letting pinpoints of light through when closed. Decorative tape is a fabric strip that hides those holes, blocks the pinhole light and gives a more tailored look. Tape costs more and is worth considering in a bedroom or where the blind sits at eye level.

How much do wooden blinds cost?

We quote per window. The drivers are real wood versus faux wood — by far the biggest factor — then slat width, window area, cord or tape, finish, valance, mechanism, and whether a wide window needs splitting. Send window sizes and a photo, or book a free measurement, and we will quote firmly, including where faux wood would serve you just as well for less.

What is the minimum order, and do you install in Noida, Faridabad, Gurgaon and Delhi?

No minimum — a single window is fine, though cost per window falls across a larger order. We measure and install across Noida, Greater Noida, Faridabad, Delhi, Gurgaon and Ghaziabad from our Noida and Faridabad locations. Wooden blinds are heavy units, so please arrange gate entry and lift access in advance and tell us the floor when booking.

Slat materials, widths, finishes and mechanisms described here are the options commonly available in the Indian market and are general guidance, not a stock list or quotation. Real timber is a natural material: grain and shade vary between slats and batches, and timber is not suitable for humid or wet locations. Maximum single-unit width depends on slat material and weight and is confirmed at measurement.
