Cheap slatted wooden venetian blinds

There are so many offers of cheap wood blinds on the internet, it doesn't matter where you live, how can you identify the best discount wood blinds.

The big difference you find with low cost wooden blinds, and where some of them literally fall down, is the headrail. Slatted wood venetian blinds are much heavier than their aluminium alternative, and where manufacturers skimp on the headrail it may be ok for a small blind, it is not a good idea for a big blind. Compare wood blinds from several suppliers, further down this page we give advice as to what you should look for.

You can get different qualities of slat, however there is virtually no difference in slat quality between the various inexpensive wood slatted venetian blinds - kiln dried basswood (quality timber such as cedar and oak are superb for blinds - but they are expensive) All of the bargain priced wood venetian blinds use a similar polyester rope ladder to support the slats although several suppliers will offer tapes for a small surcharge, this can offer extra privacy and is also a design feature.
