Plaswood Venetian Blinds — Made to Measure in South Africa
Custom Blinds plaswood venetian blinds are made-to-order window coverings crafted from a PVC composite material that looks and feels like real wood. Each blind is custom manufactured in South Africa to your exact window measurements, with a typical production time of approximately 5 working days and free nationwide delivery. Plaswood gives you the warmth of timber with full moisture resistance — the best of both worlds.
Who Plaswood Venetian Blinds Are For
Plaswood blinds are the ideal choice for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and coastal homes where humidity and moisture would damage real wood. They suit homeowners who want the natural warmth of timber venetians without worrying about warping, swelling, or mould. They are particularly popular in humid areas — Durban, the KwaZulu-Natal coast, the Garden Route, and Cape Town. Plaswood is also a practical choice for families with young children because the slats are tough and easy to clean.
How They Work
Each blind features horizontal slats made from a durable PVC composite with a wood-grain texture. The slats are controlled by a tilt wand for adjusting light and privacy, and a lift cord for raising and lowering the blind. Plaswood slats will not warp, swell, crack, or fade — even in direct sunlight or steamy conditions. The material is UV stabilised specifically for South African conditions.

Colour Range and Care
Plaswood blinds come in a range of neutral wood-inspired tones including white, cream, natural, light oak, and darker finishes. Each has a realistic wood grain texture moulded into the surface. Cleaning requires nothing more than a wipe with a damp cloth — no special products needed. The finish resists stains, dust, and everyday marks.
Comparing Plaswood to Other Venetian Blinds
Custom Blinds offers several venetian options. Plaswood is the most moisture-resistant choice for wet environments — ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. Aluwood venetians use an aluminium core with wood grain finish for a slightly different aesthetic. Real wooden venetians deliver authentic timber grain but are best limited to dry rooms. Plain aluminium venetians offer the most affordable option without a wood look. Choose plaswood when moisture resistance matters most.
Installation
Standard installation uses two wall or ceiling brackets and takes approximately 15 minutes per window with a drill and spirit level. A step-by-step measuring guide is available at shop.customblinds.co.za to ensure accurate ordering. Garden Route customers in Knysna, George, Plettenberg Bay, Sedgefield, Mossel Bay, and Wilderness can book professional installation with Duncan Kane, the company founder.
