Country Woods® Wood Blinds

The Beauty of Wood
Nothing appeals to our sense of natural beauty quite like wood. For warmth, durability, and versatility, wood is the natural choice for almost any decor. Like fine furniture, wood blinds reflect a lasting level of quality and craftsmanship in a superior window covering.  Country Woods® Classics™ are the finest offerings of wood blinds available on the market.

The scope of their selection - colors, slat sizes, tapes and decorative trims, cornices, and much more . is equaled only by the natural beauty of their top quality hardwoods, which are precision-crafted and finished to exacting standards. These woods provide the optimum balance of strength, lightness of weight, and stain acceptance. One-inch and two-inch, slat sizes are available in a wide selection of stained and painted wood finishes.

Exclusive de-Light™ Feature
All Country Woods® blinds are available with the exclusive "de-Light" feature. When ordinary wood blinds are closed, you see the rout holes in the slats. However, our wood blinds are built with a special routless design. This prevents unwanted spots of light from leaking through, and also helps ensure privacy by allowing for tighter slat closure.

Wand Tilt or Cord Tilt
Another choice for two-inch slat blinds is light control using either a wand tilter or a cord tilter. This is an excellent option if you prefer the balanced look of cords on each side of the blinds. (One-inch blinds are available with wand tilt only).

Other Options
Other options include multi-colored (striped) blinds specialty shapes and cut-outs for avoiding obstructions in window openings.

Valance or Cornice
A matching wood valance comes standard with all Country Woods Collection blinds. Three decorative wood cornices for added elegance are also available.

Dusting
Like any wood furnishings, Country Woods™ blinds should be dusted regularly to keep them looking new. Use a soft, clean cloth, chemically treated dust cloth, or dusting mitt. Lower the blind to its full length, tilt the slats almost all the way down and dust. Then tilt the slats almost all the way up and dust. (Not fully closing the slats in either position allows dusting where the slats overlap.)
Vacuuming
 Blinds may also be cleaned by vacuuming them with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner, using the procedure just described.
Damp Cleaning
Painted blinds may also be cleaned by wiping them with a soft, damp rag. Do not damp clean blinds with a stained finish, as water could affect their surface appearance.

Treating Stained Finish Blinds
Like Wood Furniture, stained finish blinds should be treated periodically with lemon oil or other wood preservative to protect their finish and enhance their lustre.
Special note: Hunter Douglas does not recommend ultrasonic cleaning of wood blinds.

 
Care & Cleaning
Child Safety
The importance of child safety cannot be overstated.  Loose cords on any window treatment must be secured to protect children and pets.

Break-Thru® Safety Tassel
To further help prevent injury, all Hunter Douglas Country Woods® blinds come standard with the patented Break-Thru Safety Tassel. The Break-Thru Safety Tassel is designed to break apart to protect children and pets. Should the tassel come apart, it is very easy to reassemble. Simply snap the halves back together. With multi-cord tassels, place the loose cords in the slot at the top of opposite tassel halves before snapping them back together.

Mini Blinds
 The privacy feature from Graber brings a sleek elegant look to all Classics Supreme and Performance Supreme 1" mini blinds.  The secret is a much smaller rout hole placed further back on the blind, not in the center of the slat where light leaks occur.  The system gives you superior privacy and light control because the rout holes actually disappear when the blinds are closed.  Pair this with the already superior sleek, light-blocking headrail system and you get the ultimate in privacy with a cleaner, beautiful look.
