Elite Wood Blinds
Elite Wood Blinds enhance privacy and light control, while offering durability and a classic look. The consistent quality sets it apart by following exacting standards for producing the blinds, from wood drying to our state-of-the-art finishing process. Quality begins at the source — we craft our blinds from North American hardwoods — the premier wood for producing superior blinds.
HEADRAIL
- SureClose™ Headrail is 1⅝" high x 2¼" wide x .022" thick U-shaped, extruded steel with ⅛" lightblocking lip on the bottom center line and finished with a powder coat paint.
- Cordless lift option uses 2" x 2¼" steel headrail.
- Headrail offers oversize blind capability.
BOTTOMRAIL
- Bottomrail is lineal grained and smooth-sanded 100% North American Basswood, kiln-dried to a 6–10% moisture content and cut prior to finishing.
- Bottomrail is contour-molded to a shape of ⅝" high in a trapezoid shape to improve closure.
CONTROLS
- Heavy-duty cord tilt and cord lift are standard.
- Tilt rod is elecro-zinc coated solid steel measuring ¼" square.
- Cordlock is a snap-in design made of metal and incorporates a floating, shaft-type locking pin.
- The cordlock design provides a crash-proof safety feature that locks the blind automatically upon release of the lift cord.
- Cradles are made of low-friction polypropylene with metal lift cord rollers.
- Drums are made of high-strength thermoplastic, which securely anchors braided ladder or fabric tapes.
SLATS
- Slats are made from North American hardwood harvested though sustainable-yield forest management techniques.
- Sizes include 1", 2", and 2⅜" widths.
- Slats are individually finished using a wiping technique rather than flow coat process, resulting in a hand-finished appearance.
- Slats are stained and painted after cutting so ends and route holes are sealed, which reduces warpage.
- PureGrain™ clear satin and high gloss finish available.
- 24" ladder spacing is standard.
- Braided ladder is made of 100% polyester yarn, incorporating two extra-strength rungs per ladder for slat support. Standard ladder spacing is 44mm.
