Real timber, made to measure 

Our wooden blinds NZ range is crafted from quality Marupa timber, offering the warmth and depth only real wood provides. These are genuine wooden venetian blinds — not faux or PVC — custom made to fit your windows precisely

Every blind is made to measure, ensuring clean lines, smooth operation, and a tailored finish that looks intentional rather than off-the-shelf. When properly fitted, timber blinds sit square, operate cleanly, and elevate the room immediately

Available in 50 mm and 60 mm slats, you can choose a classic proportion or a wider blade for a stronger architectural look

50 or 60 mm slats? 

Blade size changes both appearance and light flow

  • 50 mm slats – versatile, balanced, suits most NZ homes and available in a wider range of colours and finishes

  • 60 mm slats – wider spacing, fewer blades, more visible light and view when open. Available in white only and priced higher than 50mm due to the larger blade size

Wider slats create a cleaner, more modern look and are often preferred in larger living spaces. If colour flexibility matters, 50mm offers more choice. If you’re unsure, we can help you choose the right proportion for your window size and room style

Lightweight and durable 

Marupa timber is strong while remaining significantly lighter than PVC venetian blinds, making wooden blinds smooth to lift and tilt — even across wider windows. The lighter weight reduces strain on cords and internal components over time, especially on larger spans.

Because these blinds are made to measure, each one is correctly sized and supported for its width. Combined with quality hardware and proper assembly, the result is a blind that feels solid, stable, and built to last.

Wooden blinds are more expensive than PVC alternatives — you’re paying for real timber, natural grain, and a more premium finish. For many homeowners, that warmth and authenticity is worth the step up

Where wooden blinds work best 

Real wood blinds suit:

  • Living rooms

  • Bedrooms

  • Home offices

  • Dining areas

They perform best in dry, well-ventilated spaces. In high-moisture areas like bathrooms or laundries, a PVC alternative is usually the smarter choice

In sunny rooms, timber will naturally mellow slightly over time — subtle tonal change is normal and part of working with a natural material

Easy to maintain 

Wooden venetian blinds are simple to care for

Regular light dusting keeps them looking sharp. An occasional wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth is usually all that’s needed. Avoid excess moisture and harsh cleaners

The sealed surface helps resist everyday marks and makes cleaning straightforward

Why choose wooden blinds? 

Wooden blinds are crafted from real timber, giving them natural grain, warmth, and depth that manufactured materials can’t replicate. Subtle variation in tone is normal — and part of what makes each blind unique

In dry, well-ventilated spaces, timber performs extremely well and maintains its shape over time. Like any natural material, it should be kept away from excessive moisture and direct water exposure

If you want made-to-measure wooden blinds that feel solid, refined, and properly built, timber venetian blinds are a confident long-term choice

Lead time for wooden blinds 

All our wooden blinds are made to measure in New Zealand, using quality Marupa timber and components suited to NZ conditions

Because each blind is custom manufactured, typical production time is 2–3 weeks. This allows for accurate sizing, proper assembly, and quality checks — not rushed, mass-produced shortcuts

Once manufacturing is complete, allow 1–4 working days for courier delivery, depending on your location. If you’ve chosen professional installation, we’ll contact you to schedule a suitable time once your blinds are ready

Our wooden blinds are built locally with care and experience, ensuring you receive properly made timber venetian blinds that are worth waiting for

Colours and finishes

Our wooden blinds NZ range is available in a carefully selected palette designed to suit modern and classic interiors. All finishes are applied to quality Marupa timber, giving you consistent colour with natural grain character still visible

50mm Wooden Blinds: The 50mm range offers the widest selection of colours, including natural timber tones and painted finishes. This size suits most homes and provides the most flexibility if colour choice is a priority

60mm Wooden Blinds: The 60mm blade is available in white only. The wider slat creates a cleaner, more contemporary look with fewer blades across the window and greater light flow when open. Because of the larger blade size, 60mm wooden blinds are priced higher than the 50mm range

If you're unsure which size or finish will suit your space, we’re happy to guide you — proportion and colour both matter)

Measuring

Measuring for wooden blinds

Accurate measuring is essential to ensure your made-to-measure wooden blinds fit cleanly and operate smoothly. The process is simple, but precision matters — each blind is custom manufactured. Most wooden venetian blinds are installed inside the window jamb for a neat, built-in finish that sits flush within the recess. The steps below outline the standard inside fit method used for timber blinds in NZ homes. Take your time, measure carefully, and record measurements in millimetres (mm)

Measure in 3 steps

1. Measure width (3 places)

Measure the inside width of the window jamb where the wooden blind will sit — inside edge to inside edge. Take three measurements: at the top, in the middle, and near the bottom. Record the smallest measurement in millimetres (mm). Using the smallest width ensures your wooden venetian blinds sit neatly inside the jamb without binding or rubbing. Always hold the tape measure level and measure from wood to wood

2. Measure drop (3 places)

Measure the inside height of the window jamb. Take three measurements: on the left, in the centre, and on the right. Record the smallest measurement in millimetres (mm). If you notice a high point in the sill, measure the height at that point as well. Using the shortest drop ensures the bottom rail clears the sill and sits level when lowered

3. Enter your wooden blind measurements

When requesting a quote for your wooden blinds NZ, enter your measurements as: Width × Drop (in millimetres). If you’re selecting professional measuring and installation, approximate measurements are fine for pricing purposes — final dimensions will be confirmed before manufacturing. If you’re ordering DIY, measurements must be accurate before production begins, as each blind is custom made

Installing wooden blinds 

Installing wooden blinds is straightforward for confident DIYers. Most timber venetian blinds are fitted inside the window jamb for a clean, built-in finish

Follow the steps below for inside fit installation. Detailed PDF guides for both inside and outside fit are available further down the page

1. Preparation and tools

Unpack your made-to-measure wooden blinds — all brackets and fixings are included

You’ll need:

  • Screwdriver or drill with correct bit

  • Screws and brackets (supplied)

  • Pencil and tape measure

  • Step ladder (if required)

Before fixing anything, hold the headrail in place and check:

  • Jamb depth

  • Clearance for handles or latches

  • Final position relative to the architrave

Wooden venetian blinds are solid and carry some weight, so ensure you have clear access and stable footing before installing

2. Fitting the brackets

Decide how far back into the window jamb you want the wooden blind to sit and check for obstructions such as handles or latches

A clean finish is usually achieved by positioning brackets around 15 mm back from the architrave face — this allows room for the fascia while keeping the blind slightly recessed. Final depth is a personal preference

You’ll have one bracket at each end, with intermediate brackets introduced on blinds over 1.7 m wide. Use all brackets supplied, aligning the back of each intermediate bracket with the back of the end brackets and spacing them evenly across the width

Tip: Rest the blind on the sill (if safe to do so) to see where the ladder cords run. Intermediate brackets must sit between ladders — not directly under one — to avoid interfering with operation

Mark your screw holes and fix each bracket with two screws, either through the top or side depending on jamb depth. Secure firmly and ensure everything is level before fitting the blind

3. Fitting the wooden blind

With the brackets secured, close the front hinge on one end bracket and leave the other end bracket open

Slide the headrail fully into the closed bracket from the side. Then lift the opposite end into position and clip it into the open bracket from the front. If intermediate brackets are installed, lift the headrail up into them as you go

Close the open bracket and ensure all bracket gates are firmly locked

Lower, raise, and tilt the blind to confirm smooth operation. Once satisfied, line up and secure the fascia to the headrail for a clean, finished look

Installation options

If you’d prefer not to install your timber blinds yourself, professional on-site measuring and installation is available in most main centres across NZ

For DIY customers, downloadable installation guides are provided below, covering both inside fit and outside fit

5-Year Warranty

Our made-to-measure wooden blinds are backed by a full 5-year warranty, covering defects in materials, components, and workmanship under normal residential use.

We use quality timber, reliable internal mechanisms, and properly engineered headrails — and every blind is checked before leaving production. The warranty reflects the confidence we have in how our wooden venetian blinds are built.

If something isn’t right, send us a clear photo and short description. In many cases, we can resolve issues remotely or supply replacement components without needing the blind returned.

Dealing with Ryan has been a pleasure and his communication and engagement is outstanding. The manufacturing quality of the blinds is great and meets if not exceeds my expectations. The packaging and dispatch is also top notch with the blinds well packed and protected and sent out in well labelled and well fitting cartons

Then the wheels get a little wobbly. 7 days to deliver goods from the collection in Auckland to me in Browns Bay and then 5-6 more days to receive brackets that were missing from the original order - was a little disappointing. Not a disaster or worth chasing up about - but just so out of line with all the rest of the experience that I guess it stood out as the one anomaly

Not suggesting that Blinds Online change the way they operate or the excellent service they provide - (but a word to the logistics people to try and get a 20% improvement there - might be in order?)

In conclusion (the important part) the 9 blinds of varying width and length - all look and operate brilliantly!

We ordered wooden blinds NZ from Blinds Online, to install ourselves. After taking over a year to install them myself, when I finally went to do it I realised I'd lost the brackets to hold the blinds up. After a couple of quick emails Ryan had spare brackets sent down to me at very reasonable cost

Great result in the end, and the wooden blinds look awesome!

FAQS

Q.

What are wooden blinds?

A.

Wooden blinds are venetian-style blinds made with real timber slats. They tilt open and closed for light control and privacy, and can also be lifted when you want the window more open

Our wooden blinds are made from Marupa timber and custom manufactured to your window size. They are a premium, warm-looking option for living rooms, bedrooms, offices and other dry interior spaces

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — wooden blinds are commonly called wooden venetian blinds, timber venetian blinds, wood venetians or real wood blinds

They all refer to the same style: horizontal timber slats that tilt for privacy and light control. On this page, “wooden blinds” means real timber venetian blinds, not PVC, aluminium or roller blinds

Marupa is widely used in wooden blind manufacturing because it is strong, stable and light enough to operate smoothly. It gives you the warmth and character of real timber without the heavy feel of PVC venetian blinds

GET A QUOTE

A.

These are real timber blinds, made from Marupa wood

They are not faux wood, PVC or plastic-look blinds. If you want a moisture-resistant faux timber option for bathrooms, laundries or heavy-use rentals, see our PVC blinds. If you want real timber character, lighter operation and a more natural finish, wooden blinds are the right category

A.

Choose wooden blinds when you want warmth, natural texture and strong light control in one product

Real timber gives more character than aluminium and a more refined finish than PVC. Wooden blinds suit homes where the look matters — living rooms, bedrooms, offices and feature windows where you want the blind to add to the room, not just cover the glass

A.

Yes — all our wooden blinds are made to measure

That means each blind is manufactured to suit your window width and drop, rather than cut down from a ready-made size. Accurate measuring gives a cleaner fit, smoother operation and a more finished look

A.

Yes — you can request a quote for wooden blinds online

You can provide DIY measurements for pricing, or approximate measurements if you want professional measuring and installation where available. Once the details are confirmed, your wooden venetian blinds are made to order

Our wooden blinds are available in 50mm and 60mm slats

50mm wooden blinds are the most versatile option and come in the widest colour range. 60mm wooden blinds have fewer slats, a wider spacing and a more architectural look, but are available in white only

GET A QUOTE

A.

Choose 50mm wooden blinds if you want the most colour choice and a balanced look that suits most windows

Choose 60mm wooden blinds if you want a bolder, cleaner look with fewer horizontal lines and more view-through when tilted open. The 60mm option is available in white only and is more expensive than 50mm because of the larger blade size

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — 60mm wooden blinds are more expensive than 50mm wooden blinds

The wider slat uses more material and creates a larger, more architectural blind. If budget and colour choice are the priority, 50mm is usually the better option. If you want the cleanest, boldest white timber look, 60mm is the step up

GET A QUOTE

A.

The 50mm wooden blinds range has the widest choice of colours and finishes, including timber tones and painted options

The 60mm wooden blind range is available in white only. If colour flexibility matters, choose 50mm. If you want a crisp, larger-slat white wooden blind, choose 60mm

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — white wooden blinds are one of the most popular window covering choices

They give a clean, timeless look and work well in modern, coastal and classic interiors. White wooden venetian blinds are especially popular where customers want privacy and light control without making the room feel heavy

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — darker and natural timber finishes are available in the 50mm wooden blinds range, depending on the current colour selection

Dark wooden blinds create a stronger design statement, while natural timber tones bring warmth and texture. For the widest colour choice, choose 50mm rather than 60mm

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — natural wood finishes can vary slightly from blind to blind and slat to slat

Wooden blinds are made from real timber, and no two trees are exactly the same. Subtle differences in grain, tone, and colour are normal with timber venetian blinds and are part of the character of a natural product

Because natural wood finishes can vary, the final blinds may also differ slightly from any loan samples viewed. Samples are a guide to the colour and finish, but real timber will always have some natural variation

Painted finishes, such as white, are consistent. Natural wood-look finishes will show more variation

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — samples are recommended if you want to confirm the colour and finish before ordering

Wooden blind colours can look different depending on room light, wall colour, flooring, and surrounding furnishings. Samples help you choose with more confidence before your made-to-measure wooden blinds are manufactured

For natural wood finishes, please allow for slight variation between the sample and the finished blind — real timber can vary in grain, tone, and colour from slat to slat

That said, most customers choose the white wooden blind option. There may be thousands of whites in the paint world, but we have one white finish — and after 18 years in business, it has proven to suit a very wide range of NZ homes without issue

The best first step is to request a quote. Once you’re happy with the pricing, contact us if you’d like loan samples before proceeding. Samples need to be returned once your colour choice is confirmed

Wooden blinds use cord controls for lifting, lowering, and tilting the slats

The blind is raised and lowered using one set of cords. The slat tilt is controlled by a separate set of cords, allowing you to angle the wooden slats for light control and privacy

On standard-width wooden blinds, the lift and tilt controls are usually kept together on one side — either left or right, as you choose. Very narrow wooden blinds may have control limitations because there is less space inside the headrail

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — wooden blinds are easy to use once correctly installed.

You can tilt the slats for privacy and light control, or raise the blind when you want a clearer view. Because timber is lighter than PVC, wooden blinds are smoother and easier to lift on larger windows

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — wooden blinds are significantly lighter than PVC venetian blinds

This makes them easier to lift and tilt, especially on wider windows. The lighter weight can also reduce strain on cords and internal components over time compared with heavier PVC blinds

GET A QUOTE

A.

Wooden blinds have a solid feel, but they are not overly heavy

They are easier to lift than PVC venetian blinds of the same size because Marupa timber is much lighter than PVC. For very large blinds, you still need to consider width, drop and how often the blind will be raised

GET A QUOTE

A.

Choose wooden blinds if you want real timber, lighter operation and a warmer, more premium finish

Choose PVC blinds if moisture resistance, easy cleaning and wet-area durability are more important — especially for bathrooms, laundries, rentals or poorly ventilated rooms. PVC is more practical in damp spaces, while wooden blinds are stronger visually in dry living areas, bedrooms and offices

GET A QUOTE

A.

Choose wooden blinds if you want a warmer, more substantial venetian blind with wider 50mm or 60mm slats

Choose aluminium venetian blinds if you want a slimmer, more economical blind, especially for shallow window jambs, narrow windows or spaces where 25mm slats suit better. Aluminium blinds are more functional and compact; wooden blinds are more style-led

GET A QUOTE

A.

Choose wooden blinds if you want a timber venetian look, good light control and a more economical alternative to shutters

Choose shutters if you want a fixed architectural feature with framed panels and adjustable louvres. Shutters cost more, but they deliver a stronger built-in look. Wooden blinds are the more flexible and accessible option for many NZ homes

A.

Choose wooden venetian blinds when you want adjustable light control, privacy and a warmer interior look

Choose roller blinds when you want a cleaner, simpler window covering with less stack at the top of the window. For better room darkening, see blockout blinds — for maximum room darkening, see SmartBlock. For daytime privacy while keeping light, see sunscreen blinds or sheer roller blinds

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — living rooms are one of the best places for wooden blinds

They bring warmth, texture and strong light control while still allowing the room to feel open when the slats are tilted. White wooden blinds give a clean modern look, while timber tones add more natural character

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — wooden blinds work well in bedrooms where privacy and light control are important.

They let you tilt the slats for privacy while still allowing some daylight into the room. However, wooden venetian blinds are not complete blackout blinds. If darkness is the priority for sleep, shift work or nurseries, consider blockout blinds or SmartBlock

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — wooden blinds are a strong option for home offices and workspaces

They provide adjustable glare control, privacy and a more finished interior look than many basic blinds. The ability to tilt the slats is useful when you want to reduce glare without fully closing off the room

A.

Wooden blinds can be used in well-ventilated bathrooms where they are not exposed to direct water

If the bathroom gets very steamy, has poor airflow, or the blind may be splashed by water, PVC blinds are the safer choice. Timber handles normal indoor use well, but it is still a natural material and should not be treated like a wet-area product

GET A QUOTE

A.

Wooden blinds can work well in dry, well-ventilated kitchens where they are not directly exposed to steam, water or cooking splatter

For kitchens close to sinks, heavy steam or high moisture, PVC blinds or aluminium blinds may be more practical. For dining areas or open-plan kitchen/living spaces, wooden blinds can look excellent and provide strong light control

GET A QUOTE

A.

Usually, no — we generally recommend PVC blinds for laundries

Laundries tend to have more moisture, steam and cleaning activity than standard living spaces. Wooden blinds are better kept for dry interior rooms where they can maintain their finish and structure over time

GET A QUOTE

A.

A small amount of incidental moisture is not usually a disaster, but wooden blinds should not be exposed to direct water, rain or regular dampness

Do not use wooden blinds where they will be splashed, soaked, left wet or rained on through open windows. If that risk is likely, choose PVC blinds instead

GET A QUOTE

A.

Wooden blinds can warp if exposed to excess moisture, direct water or unsuitable conditions

In normal dry interior spaces, Marupa timber performs well and maintains its shape. The key is choosing the right blind for the room — timber for dry rooms, PVC for wet or high-moisture spaces

GET A QUOTE

A.

All interior furnishings can change slightly over time with strong UV exposure, and real timber can mellow naturally

That is normal with natural materials. Wooden blinds are designed for indoor use, but in very harsh sun you should expect some gradual tonal change over the years. If colour stability and moisture resistance are the top priorities, PVC blinds or aluminium blinds may be worth comparing

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — wooden venetian blinds are excellent for privacy

You can tilt the slats to limit visibility from outside while still allowing some light into the room. Like all venetian blinds, they are not a sealed blackout product, but they offer very good everyday privacy control

GET A QUOTE

A.

Wooden blinds provide strong light control, but they are not complete blackout blinds

Light can still enter through small side gaps, between slats, and around the bottom rail. If you want the darkest room possible, especially for bedrooms or nurseries, look at SmartBlock or blockout blinds

GET A QUOTE

A.

No — wooden blinds are not blackout blinds

They are designed for privacy, light control and style, not complete room darkening. The tilting slats give good control, but light will still come through small gaps. For maximum blackout, choose SmartBlock. For standard, more economical, room darkening, choose blockout blinds

GET A QUOTE

A.

Inside-fit wooden blinds need small side gaps so the slats can lift, lower and tilt without scraping the window jamb

You provide the full wood-to-wood measurements when requesting your quote. The factory then makes the correct deductions during manufacturing, creating the small operational gaps required on each side

As a guide, the finished blind will usually have side gaps of approximately 10mm. These gaps are normal for wooden venetian blinds and help ensure smooth operation. Wooden blinds provide strong privacy and light control, but they are not sealed at the sides like SmartBlock are

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — this is normal with wooden blinds and all venetian blinds

When the slats are tilted closed, the blades near the headrail close more tightly than the blades lower down. On taller blinds, the bottom gaps can be more noticeable because of distance, weight, ladder cord movement and viewing angle. It does not affect privacy, but light leakage may be more visible near the bottom

GET A QUOTE

A.

Our wooden blinds are designed to finish with a small gap above the sill

When tilted closed, the bottom rail should sit just above the highest point of the sill. When tilted open, it may sit higher depending on slat spacing and the blind drop. This prevents the bottom rail from hitting the sill, bunching, or looking crooked when the blind is lowered

GET A QUOTE

A.

Wooden blinds add an extra layer between the room and the glass, but they are not a specialist insulation solution

Their main strengths are style, privacy and light control. If thermal performance is the main goal, honeycomb blinds are the stronger option because their cellular structure is designed to trap air

GET A QUOTE

A.

For inside-fit wooden blinds, measure the width in three places and record the smallest width. Then measure the drop in three places and record the smallest drop

Always measure in millimetres and check for handles, latches, winders or other obstructions that may rob jamb depth or impede operation. See the measuring section for the full step-by-step guide

GET A QUOTE

A.

We do not recommend cutting or trimming wooden blinds yourself

Wooden blinds are made to measure, so the best approach is to supply accurate dimensions before manufacturing. Cutting a blind after production can affect the headrail, slat alignment, operation, warranty, and finished appearance

Some repair companies offer professional cut-downs, but this is usually limited. In most cases, only a small amount can be removed from the non-control end, and only up to near the first ladder cord

For the cleanest result, measure carefully before ordering and let the factory manufacture the blind to the correct size

GET A QUOTE

A.

The absolute minimum width we can manufacture a wooden blind is 280mm

Very narrow wooden blinds have limited room inside the headrail, so available controls depend on the blind width:

280–299mm wide: tilt-only wooden blinds
300–399mm wide: split-control wooden blinds
400mm wide and above: combined-control wooden blinds

A tilt-only wooden blind allows the slats to tilt open and closed for light control and privacy, but the blind does not raise and lower. This is used where the headrail is too narrow to fit the lift cords and cord-lock mechanism

A split-control blind has the tilt control and lift control on opposite sides. A combined-control blind has both controls on the same side, which is what we use from 400mm wide and above

Wooden blinds under 350mm wide also attract an undersized blind surcharge of $125 per blind, due to the extra work and manufacturing limitations involved. Your quote will show this charge where it applies

GET A QUOTE

Narrow made-to-measure wooden venetian blind installed inside a small window recess

A.

Yes — wooden blinds can work well on small windows, but very small wooden venetian blinds may need a little more care when lowering

Because there is less weight in the blind, it may not always drop as smoothly as larger wooden blinds with more weight. Lighter blinds may need help overcoming the friction from the cords and internal mechanism

Keep the lift cord at the correct angle, release it smoothly from the cord lock, and guide the bottom rail down by hand if needed. This can be normal on smaller timber venetian blinds and does not usually indicate a fault

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — wooden blinds can be installed by confident DIYers with basic tools

Most are fitted inside the window jamb using the supplied brackets. The key is accurate measuring, secure bracket placement and checking that the blind lifts, lowers and tilts smoothly once installed. See the installation section for the full guide

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — professional measuring and installation is available in many main centres around New Zealand

This is a good option if you have larger wooden blinds, tricky windows, limited jamb depth, or simply prefer not to DIY. Approximate measurements are fine for quoting when we are doing the final measure for you

GET A QUOTE

A.

To fit the brackets, headrail and fascia neatly inside the window jamb, allow approximately 70mm of clear depth.

If the jamb is shallower, the blind may protrude slightly. This can still look tidy in some situations, but if the projection is too large, outside mounting may be better. If you have very limited jamb depth, aluminium blinds or honeycomb blinds may suit better

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — wooden blinds can usually be fitted as inside fit or outside fit

Inside fit is the most common choice because it gives a clean, built-in look within the window recess. Outside fit can work when the jamb is too shallow, the window hardware gets in the way, or you want the blind to cover more of the window frame

We provide measuring instructions for both inside-fit and outside-fit wooden blinds, so you can choose the approach that works best for your window

GET A QUOTE

A.

Wooden blinds are supplied with a matching timber fascia that covers the headrail

The fascia gives the blind a cleaner, more finished look and helps hide the working parts at the top. For inside-fit wooden blinds, the fascia runs along the front. For outside-fit blinds, end returns may be used where needed to tidy the sides

GET A QUOTE

A.

Wooden blinds are supplied with the required end brackets and any intermediate support brackets needed for the blind width

You’ll have one bracket at each end, with intermediate brackets introduced on wider blinds. These must be positioned so they support the headrail without interfering with ladder cords or internal mechanisms

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — wider wooden blinds require intermediate support brackets

As a guide:

Under 1700mm wide: no centre bracket
1700–2500mm wide: usually 1 centre bracket
Over 2500mm wide: usually 2 centre brackets

Centre brackets help support the headrail, maintain alignment, and keep the blind operating smoothly over time. Use all brackets supplied, spacing them evenly across the width and aligning the back of each centre bracket with the back of the end brackets

They should also be positioned so they do not interfere with the ladder cords or internal mechanisms

Stack height is the amount of space a wooden venetian blind occupies at the top of the window when it is fully raised. It includes the headrail, timber slats, and bottom rail

Approximate wooden blind stack heights are:

600mm drop: 118mm stack
700mm drop: 126mm stack
800mm drop: 134mm stack
900mm drop: 142mm stack
1000mm drop: 150mm stack
1100mm drop: 158mm stack
1200mm drop: 166mm stack
1300mm drop: 174mm stack
1400mm drop: 182mm stack
1500mm drop: 190mm stack
1600mm drop: 198mm stack
1700mm drop: 206mm stack
1800mm drop: 214mm stack
1900mm drop: 222mm stack
2000mm drop: 230mm stack
2100mm drop: 238mm stack
2200mm drop: 246mm stack
2300mm drop: 254mm stack
2400mm drop: 262mm stack
2500mm drop: 270mm stack
2600mm drop: 278mm stack
2700mm drop: 284mm stack
2800mm drop: 292mm stack
2900mm drop: 300mm stack
3000mm drop: 308mm stack

For drops between these sizes, the stack height can be estimated proportionally

Stack height is worth considering on full-drop windows, doors and ranch sliders, where the raised blind may cover part of the glass/view or reduce thoroughfare clearance

If stack height is a concern and you need more compact options, consider roller blinds, aluminium venetian blinds or honeycomb blinds. These generally take up less room at the top of the window when raised, making them better suited where maximum view-through or clear access is important

GET A QUOTE

A.

Usually, wooden blinds are not our first choice for ranch sliders or doors used as regular accessways

The issue is stack height. Each time you want to walk through the doorway, the wooden blind must be raised, and the stack can sit in the way at the top. For sliders and doorways, vertical blinds, roller blinds, honeycomb blinds or sliding shutters may be better depending on the space

GET A QUOTE

A.

Yes — wooden blinds can look excellent on large windows, especially in 60mm white or wider 50mm timber finishes where the proportions suit the scale of the glass.

Large wooden venetian blinds need accurate measuring, correct bracket support, and realistic expectations around stack height when fully raised. If the window is also a doorway, ranch slider, or high-use access point, a more compact option such as a roller blind, aluminium venetian blind, or honeycomb blind may be more practical.

Depending on the blind size and your strength, you may need to lightly assist under the bottom rail when raising the blind fully, helping the slats stack neatly and compactly at the top

A.

Yes — wooden blinds can often work on bay windows, provided each section can be measured and fitted correctly

Bay windows need careful checking for angles, handles, jamb depth and how the blinds will meet at the corners. Send photos with your quote request if you’re unsure

GET A QUOTE

A.

No — wooden venetian blinds are made as standard rectangular blinds

For angled, arched or specialty-shaped windows, shutters are often the better made-to-measure option because they can be manufactured to follow the shape

Another option is to outside-fit a rectangular wooden blind over the full opening, but this covers the shape rather than following it. In some cases, you can also fit a rectangular wooden blind below the angled section and leave the shaped glass uncovered, as shown in the photo below

This approach generally works best on narrower blinds under 1700mm wide, as wider wooden blinds need intermediate support brackets and a suitable fixing point across the headrail

GET A QUOTE

Wooden venetian blind fitted below an angled window with the shaped glass left uncovered

A.

No — the inside edges of the cord holes punched through the slats are not painted

The visible slat faces are finished, but the small internal hole edges remain unfinished as part of the manufacturing process. It simply isn’t feasible to paint inside each cord hole cleanly or consistently after punching

This is normal for wooden venetian blinds and is usually only noticeable when looking closely at the cord holes

GET A QUOTE

A.

Wooden blinds are relatively easy to maintain and should be cleaned gently

Dust them regularly with a soft cloth, duster, or soft vacuum brush attachment. For marks or build-up, use a dry or lightly damp cloth — a little moisture is fine, but avoid soaking the timber

After wiping, dry the slats well. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the blind, and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning products

Wooden blinds can last many years when they are measured correctly, installed properly, and used with care

Longevity depends on room conditions and daily use. Avoid excessive moisture, operate the cords smoothly, and keep the blinds clean. The Marupa timber and quality components are selected for long-term performance in normal indoor conditions

From time to time, customers come to us needing to replace wooden blinds they’ve had for 15–20 years, so timber venetian blinds can certainly last a long time when well looked after
