Faux wood slats are made from hard-wearing PVC, engineered to mimic the grain, colour and warmth of real timber while being completely water-resistant. Unlike real wood, they won’t warp, discolour or crack in humid rooms — which is why they’ve become the go-to venetian for kitchens, bathrooms and any window that catches steam or splashes. They’re also easier to clean: a wipe with a damp cloth is enough, no polishing, no restoring, no worrying about liquid marks. And because PVC is a manufactured material, the slats are consistent across the whole blind — no natural variation, no colour drift over time.
