Common Questions
Q: Should I choose real wood or Faux Wood blinds?
A: Real Wood is lightweight and offers superior insulation, making it ideal for living areas and bedrooms. Faux Wood (made from PVC) is 100% waterproof and warp-resistant, making it the best choice for humid rooms like kitchens and bathrooms.
Q: Is the larger slat size available in Faux Wood?
A: Yes. Faux Wood is available in a variety of slat sizes, including the popular large slat (e.g., ). This size is often chosen to provide a more contemporary, shutter-like aesthetic and offers a clearer view when open.
Q: Do these blinds help with insulation and temperature control?
A: Yes. Both real wood and Faux Wood are great natural insulators. Their dense material, combined with the adjustable slats, helps retain heat in the winter and deflect sun in the summer, contributing to energy efficiency.
Q: Can you see through the blinds when they are tilted?
A: When the slats are correctly angled, they block the direct line of sight from outside, effectively giving you daytime privacy while still allowing natural light to filter into your room.
Q: Does Abacus Blinds provide a full installation service?
A: Yes, we provide a comprehensive service across Kent, including a free no-obligation consultation, expert measuring, and professional fitting of your wooden or Faux Wood blinds by our DBS-checked staff.
