Real Wood Blinds With Tapes
Basswood Blinds With Matching and Contrast Tapes
Our real wood blinds with tapes are made to measure in the UK from FSC certified basswood, with 50mm slats and ladder tapes that cover the cord holes. The range covers whites and gloss white, greys and silver, creams, browns, walnut and black, with tapes that match the slats or contrast with them, such as brown slats with cream tapes.
Free samples let you see the slat and tape colours together at home. A 4 year guarantee is included. If you would rather have untaped slats, browse our real wood blinds.
Picking a Tape Colour for Real Wood
A matching tape gives a calm, uniform look, while a contrast tape defines each slat, such as silver slats with grey tapes. Tapes cover the cord holes, so a closed blind looks more finished and lets through a little less light, but they cost a little more than untaped blinds and show when the slats are open. Real wood suits dry rooms such as living rooms and bedrooms; for a bathroom or kitchen, choose our faux wood blinds with tapes. Taped real wooden venetian blinds and natural wooden blinds with tapes describe this range.
Taped Real Wood Blind FAQs
Are real wood blinds easy to install?
Yes. You screw in the brackets, clip the headrail on and attach the valance. Follow our installation guide for wooden blinds, using the brackets in the box.
How do I measure my window for real wood blinds?
Measure the same way as for untaped blinds, because the tapes sit inside the width you order. Our wooden blind measuring guide has the full steps. Every Blindstyle blind also comes with measurement protection, which gives you a reduced price on a replacement if you measure wrong, depending on the blind.
Are blind tapes easy to keep clean?
Yes. A simple wipe with a duster or cloth is usually enough. If the tapes pick up tougher dirt, you can use a wet wipe, but avoid excessive moisture.
Do real wood blinds with tapes cost more?
A little. Taped real wood costs a little more than untaped real wood because of the tapes. Both come with the same 4 year guarantee, so the difference is the finish.
What is the difference between real wood and faux wood blinds with tapes?
Real wood blinds are made from basswood, are lighter and have a natural feel, but should stay out of damp rooms. Faux wood blinds are made from UPVC, are heavier and waterproof, and suit bathrooms and kitchens. Both have 50mm slats and tapes in matching or contrasting colours.
