Description

Faux Wood Venetian Blinds 50mm — NZ Made

Overview

Custom-made faux wood venetian blinds with 50mm slats, manufactured in New Zealand from moisture-resistant PVC that looks and feels like painted timber. A popular choice as bathroom blinds, kitchen blinds and anywhere real wood would risk warping.

Key features

The PVC construction will not warp, peel or discolour in high-humidity environments. The thermal properties of PVC also provide year-round insulation — reducing heat loss during colder months and heat gain during warmer months.

Slats tilt to give you precise control over light and privacy. Available in a range of neutral and contemporary colours to suit most interior styles.

Note: Venetian blinds are privacy screens designed to be kept in the lowered position and tilted open or closed. The full raised position is for cleaning the window or accessing window latches.

Specifications

50mm PVC slats with a smooth painted finish. Manufactured in New Zealand for a precise fit and faster turnaround. Colour-matched cords and components.

How to order

Measure your window, select your colour, and order online. These blinds are manufactured in New Zealand and shipped directly to your door. NZ-made production means faster turnaround compared to imported alternatives.

Measuring & Installing Guides

Have a question about Venetian Blinds?

Yes. Faux wood venetian blinds are made from moisture-resistant PVC that will not warp or discolour in humid bathrooms. They are one of the most practical blind choices for wet areas, unlike real timber which can swell and crack.

Faux wood blinds are made from PVC that mimics the look of painted timber. They cost less, are waterproof, and require less maintenance. Real wood blinds offer a natural grain texture but are heavier, more expensive, and unsuitable for humid rooms.

50mm slats are the most popular size in New Zealand. They provide a modern look with good light control and are suitable for most standard windows. Larger 63mm slats suit bigger windows or a bolder design statement.

Wipe each slat with a damp cloth or use a feather duster for regular maintenance. For deeper cleaning, remove the blinds and wash the slats with warm soapy water. The PVC material dries quickly and does not absorb moisture.

Do not scrub, use solvents or any abrasive substance, to avoid damaging slat coating.

Separate cords for pull-up and tilting of slats, optionally on left or right side

Slats tiltable to 180 degrees – from clear view through to blockout

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a highly practical, cost-effective, and robust material that is excellent for high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms. It provides good insulation and is easy to clean.

CPC (Compressed Polystyrene Composite) offers the same moisture resistance and durability benefits of PVC but is a more advanced, lighter-weight alternative that better replicates the look of real wood, often with superior fade resistance properties.
