FAQs and Benefits of Made-to-Measure Grey Wooden Blinds

Frequently Asked Questions

Grey wooden blinds are a great idea and a versatile and stylish choice for any window of your home. Their neutral grey tones create a calming atmosphere and work well with various colour schemes, whilst their chic and sophisticated looks complement a wide range of interior styles. They’re not only aesthetically pleasing but functional too. They provide you with an abundance of light and privacy control. Overall grey wood blinds are a practical and timeless investment that will enhance the look and feel of any space.

Which are cheaper, real wood blinds or faux wood blinds?

Faux wood blinds are cheaper than real wood blinds. This is because they’re made from PVC, which is less expensive to produce than natural wood. Whilst real wood blinds give you that authentic look and feel, faux wood blinds provide a similar aesthetic at a lower cost.

Are grey wooden blinds fashionable?

Yes, they’re extremely fashionable. Grey is a popular and versatile colour in interior design due to its ability to create a calm, contemporary and sophisticated atmosphere, and their neutral tones allow for easy pairing with various colour schemes and furniture choices.

How long do grey wooden blinds last?

Their lifespan can vary depending on several factors, including what they’re made from. Real wood blinds typically last 8-10 years, while faux wood blinds can last 10 years and much longer due to their hardwearing nature and resistance to moisture, warping and cracking.
Their quality will also have an impact on how long they last. High-quality made-to-measure blinds, such as the ones we manufacture, will last much longer due to superior craftsmanship and premium quality materials.
Proper care and maintenance can also significantly extend the lifespan of your grey wood blinds. Regular cleaning, correct handling, and operating will all contribute to their longevity. With proper care and maintenance, high-quality grey wooden blinds will last for many years.

How often should you clean grey wooden blinds?

A light dusting with a microfiber cloth or feather duster or a quick wipe down with a damp cloth as part of your regular cleaning routine is recommended to keep them in tip-top condition. How regularly you should clean them can also depend on where they are located. If they are in high-traffic or high-moisture areas such as the kitchen or bathroom they may require more frequent cleaning due to exposure to cooking grease, dust and water.

Are grey wooden blinds available with fabric tapes?

Yes. Fabric ladder tapes are a popular option for both real wooden blinds and faux wood blinds. They offer a softer, more premium look and allow you to add a complementary or contrasting colour and texture to your grey blinds. Because the tapes cover the lift cord holes in the slats, they will marginally block out more light than standard ladder cords when the blind is closed.

Will grey wooden blinds make my room too dark?

This depends on the shade of grey you choose. A light or medium grey won’t make the room dark, but a very dark grey wooden blind will darken the room slightly in the same way as painting a wall in a dark colour does. In terms of the actual level of light in the room, grey wooden blinds allow precisely the same amount of light in as any other colour.

Why should I choose made-to-measure grey wooden blinds?

Our made-to-measure blinds are crafted to your exact measurements for a superior finish and a perfect fit. Ready-made blinds can often leave unsightly gaps at the sides, letting in more light and compromising privacy. You also don’t have the hassle of cutting slats, which can easily result in a chipped, unprofessional look.

Grey wooden blinds being a type of Venetian blind offer excellent control over both light and shade. Their high-quality smooth action lift and tilt mechanisms allow you to quickly and easily adjust their slats to precisely regulate the amount of natural light and shade in the room.

You can enjoy complete privacy at the pull of a cord. With fully adjustable slats, you have complete control over the level of privacy in your room, while still enjoying the ideal amount of natural light in the room and a view outside.

Theyâ€™re energy efficient and a great natural insulator. By reducing heat transfer at the windows, they contribute to improved energy efficiency in your home.
