Wood Blinds Manufacturers

Plenty of companies that make basic window treatments also make wood blinds. But not all wood blind manufacturers are created equal and most specialize in a specific type or design of wood blind. If you plan on purchasing multiple window blinds or treatments from a single source, you need to be aware of the varieties of wood blinds and other shades available for purchase. Although there are plenty of companies that make wood blinds, some of the largest national manufacturers are:

• Hunter Douglas
• YourBlinds
• Bali
• Graber

Hunter Douglas is one of the leading manufacturers of window treatments and carries a wide range of different blinds and shades. With a long history of quality and craftsmanship, Hunter Douglas has collected a large following of loyal customers. Their line of wood blinds is split into two categories under the names of Chalet and Country Woods. They offer a range of slat sizes from narrow 1” slats to slats that measure over 2” in width.

Although YourBlinds sells wood blinds made by other manufacturers, they also offer their own line of quality wood blinds. YourBlinds offers four different categories of wood blinds: Premium, Intermediate, Value, and Max Value. Each category is defined by the make and slat width. YourBlinds offers slat widths ranging from 1” to over 2” to accommodate almost any size window and style.

Bali is also a major manufacturer of blinds and shades and offers a few quality wood blinds designs. Their product lines include the Northern Heights line of wood blinds as well as the Design Basics. Bali offers wood blind slats in 1” and 2” widths.

Graber, well known for their wide variety of blinds and shades, also produces wood blinds. Their Traditions line comes in a few different slat widths with different options for decorative features and color.

Do your research on both the wood blind types and manufacturers before you decide on a purchase. Wood blinds are exceptional additions to any home and can last you for years, and it is well worth taking the extra time to make the right decision before you make a final purchase.
