We use ecologically friendly non-rainforest Basswood exclusively. Basswood is the premier wood for the manufacture of high quality wood window blinds. It is light weight, dimensionally stable and takes a finish beautifully. It is very similar in appearance to maple.

Normal kitchen moisture is not a problem. Wood blinds work well in kitchens and bathrooms, both of which are often quite high in humidity. The only time you would encounter any problem is when the blinds are actually going to be getting wet, like immediately above a bathtub where they would be exposed to water splashing from a shower. In such circumstances, our faux wood blinds are a better choice. Our faux wood blinds stand up well even in shower areas where they can be splashed with water.
We are located in Whistler, BC and must by law charge 7% PST plus 5% GST on all shipments to BC addresses. Shipments to Canadian addresses outside of British Columbia will be charged 5% GST only. Shipments to the US are not currently charged any taxes.
Our standard shipping method is by Purolator ground ( http://www.purolator.com ), and is included in our prices to most locations within Canada. Remote northern locations and areas not served by Purolator ground will be charged additional delivery fees in direct relation to the additional costs incurred. If in doubt, please call us for confirmation. Blinds over 8 feet in width may also be subject to a shipping surcharge. . |
