Real Wood Slats That Adjust With You

Custom wood blinds measured and installed in Tarrant County, Texas homes.

When you want the warmth of natural wood and the flexibility to adjust light throughout the day, wood blinds give you both in a single treatment. You tilt the slats to filter morning sun or close them completely when you need privacy, and the wood grain remains visible even when the blinds are shut. In Tarrant County, where home styles range from traditional colonials to updated ranches, wood blinds adapt to the trim and wall color you already have.

Showcase Window Fashions measures each window to ensure the blinds fit inside the frame or mount above it, depending on your preference. You choose from multiple stain and paint finishes, and the slats are cut to match the exact width of the opening. Because the blinds are made from real wood, they add texture and a sense of weight that lighter materials do not provide.

How Wood Blinds Are Measured and Mounted

The process starts with a technician measuring the width, height, and depth of each window in Tarrant County to confirm clearance for the headrail and mounting brackets. Once the blinds are built, they install the brackets inside the frame or on the wall above it, then snap the headrail into place and attach the tilt wand and lift cord.

After installation, you will notice that tilting the slats changes how much light enters the room without fully raising the blinds. When you do raise them, the slats stack at the top, leaving the glass clear. The natural wood adds warmth to living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices where a classic look fits the space.

Wood blinds work best in rooms with stable humidity levels, so they are not typically recommended for bathrooms or kitchens where moisture can cause warping over time. If you need coverage in those areas, a moisture-resistant option makes more sense. The finish you choose is applied before delivery, and the slats arrive ready to hang without additional sealing or treatment.

Common Questions About Wood Blinds

Homeowners in Tarrant County often ask how wood blinds compare to faux alternatives, whether they require special care, and how long the installation process takes.

What is the difference between wood and faux wood blinds?
Wood blinds are made from real hardwood and show natural grain, while faux wood uses composite materials that resist moisture. The choice depends on the room and your priorities.
How do I keep wood blinds looking clean?
You dust the slats with a microfiber cloth or vacuum attachment. For deeper cleaning, wipe each slat with a barely damp cloth, then dry it immediately to avoid water spots.
How long does it take to install blinds in one room?

Most rooms in Tarrant County with two or three windows take about an hour once the blinds are fabricated. Measuring happens during the first visit, and fabrication takes one to two weeks.

Why would I choose wood blinds over shutters?
Wood blinds stack at the top when raised, giving you a fully clear window. Shutters open in panels and occupy more space along the sides when not in use.
What finishes are available for wood blinds?
You can choose from stains that show the natural grain or painted finishes that match your trim. Showcase Window Fashions brings samples to your home so you can compare them against your walls.
