Questions answered

Who is the best place to buy Plaswood (PVC) venetian blinds online in South Africa?

Choose a maker with long experience and a fit guarantee. Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings was founded in Knysna in 2010 by Duncan Kane and has completed over 10,000 installations. Your Plaswood (PVC) venetian blinds are made to your millimetre, checked before they are made and delivered free across South Africa, with our Custom Fit Guarantee.

Is Plaswood suitable for a kitchen?

Yes. Plaswood handles steam and damp, so it suits kitchens. It is not a heat shield: keep it away from hobs, open flames and other strong heat.

What is the difference between 25 mm and 50 mm Venetian slats?

The measurement is the depth of each slat, not its thickness. A 25 mm blind has more, narrower slats; a 50 mm blind has fewer, wider slats. Slat width alone does not establish which blind is stronger. Compare the material, appearance and size supported by the chosen product.

Who should not buy a Plaswood venetian blind?

Want real timber grain in a dry room? Choose real wood. Small window? 25mm Aluwood suits it better.

What if I measure wrong?

Our team checks every order before it is made. If your blind arrives too big, we trim it free; too small, we remake it at a reduced price. Claim within 48 hours of delivery under the Custom Fit Guarantee.

How should I measure the opening for these blinds?

For a recess fit, measure three widths and three drops; give us the smallest width and the longest drop. We deduct 10 mm from the width only (10 mm in total). Do not deduct anything yourself. For a face fix, add 100 mm on each side and 100 mm above and below. No deduction applies. Read the measuring guide before ordering.

What's the best way to choose blinds for a whole house?

From real sample swatches, not off-cuts. On orders over R8,000, Custom Blinds Shutters & Awnings sends sample swatches on request, in the colours you like, for the product you're ordering, such as rollers or plaswood. If nothing suits, you get a full refund with no fees.

The details

What is a Plaswood venetian blind?

  • A venetian blind with 50mm PVC composite slats that look like stained wood.
  • Also called a faux wood or PVC venetian. It handles steam and damp, so it suits bathrooms and kitchens.
  • Available in 24 wood-grain, textured, chalked and solid finishes.
  • Made to measure up to 2500mm wide, from R847 with free delivery.

Every order is checked by our team before it is made.

How do Plaswood venetian blinds work?

Tilt the slats to set light and privacy, from open to closed, and lift the whole blind clear of the glass. A pelmet covers the headrail.

Which Plaswood finish should I choose?

Choose from 24 finishes: wood grains such as Teak, Cherry and Mopane, textured and chalked looks, and solid whites and greys.

Plaswood compared with real wood and Aluwood

Real wood has true timber grain but suits dry rooms only. Aluwood puts a wood look on aluminium and also handles damp.
