Slat Size: 50 x 3 mm or 63 x 3 mm
We make blinds with two sizes of basswood slats.
50mm x 3mm
This is a slat size suitable for all size windows and applications.These blinds have about 23 slats per vertical metre drop with an "OPEN" gap of about 40mm between slats.
All our blinds have the more elegant and functional(easy clean) rounded edge bottom rail. The bottoms of our blinds are beautifully finished off with the ladders inserted into side drillings in the botton rail,not the "CHEAP" looking wrap around the bottom rail.
63mm x 3mm
This slat size has a shutter like look and is especially suitable for windows with a view. They are often used to complement plantation shutters.
Our blinds have about 19 slats per vertical metre drop with an "OPEN" gap of about 53mm between slats.Narrow lift-cord holes matched with thick lift cords and double knit ladders look good and provide excellent light block-out.
More About The Wood...
Basswood is an American term for the TILIAspecies of trees commonly know as 'LIME' in Britain and 'Linden' in Europe.
It is a hardwood which is common right around the temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere. It has been the preferred wood for sculpture and altar pieces since the middle ages. Modern uses include musical instruments due to its acoustic and resonance qualities.
The timber is relatively soft for a hardwood, has low strength properties but is light and has good dimensional stability. Being light in colour with no resins, it lends itself perfectly to accepting stains of various colours. Basswood's grain structure is very fine, not as prominent as Western Red Cedar, this give the blind a more uniform, even appearance.
They are also more scratch and dent resistant than cedar, which can be an advantage in a home with young children. These blinds never need re-painting and their smooth rich surfaces are easily cleaned with a duster, or at worst a damp cloth with mild detergent.
Our basswood blinds are constructed using the same components as our Cedar Blinds:
50 x 65 mm metal head box (Not Plastic)
Metal cord tilter mechanism gear box (no cheap wands with plastic gear box)
6.2 mm square solid tilt rod - not hollow tube
High quality double knit polyester ladder and 2.5mm lift cord
Solid metal cord lock - not plastic framed
Round edged bottom rail - not a rebated dust catcher
Our timber slats have a rich coating of two base coats and one top coat of UV cured paints.
We do not skimp on this coating.
Our Basswood blinds are a beautiful decoration for your house and a true VALUE in the field of winow furnishings. They add a warm and inviting look to any decor, insulate your home and available in four colour:
