SmartPrivacy Timber and Fauxwood Venetian Range

Western Red Cedar SmartPrivacy Timber Venetian Blinds

Back by popular demand, Western Red Cedar has been reintroduced into Norman’s wood SmartPrivacy range. This super lightweight and durable timber offers excellent insultation properties, the perfect fit for a blind in the harsh Australian environment.

Iconic in appearance, the Western Red Cedar timber is known for its variety of rich colour depths. While previously available across the range of colours – light to medium and medium to dark – Norman has reintroduced with the full spectrum of colour showcased throughout one piece. Enhancing its unique colouring, the SmartPrivacy in Western Red Cedar is then finished with a OSMO coating. This natural, non-chemical finish is created with plant oils and seed wax. We have devoted ourselves to protect the material while retaining its environmentally friendly credentials.

To ensure this timber meets the highest standard of durability, Norman quarter saws the slats of Western Red Cedar to guarantee structural integrity, all while maintaining its beautiful qualities.

 

SmartPrivacy Normandy Timber Venetian Blinds

SmartPrivacy Normandy Wood Blinds are made from 100% real hardwood harvested from eco-friendly forest operations.

For Normandy Wood Blinds, we utilize the same premium hardwood found in Normandy Wood Shutters, which are meant to last a lifetime. Selected for its distinctive grain, resilience, and sustainable characteristics, not only are Normandy Wood Blinds eco-friendly and quality-built, they offer the best features available for blinds.

  • Unlike inferior plain sawn slats, Normandy’s wood blind slats are quarter sawn, cut perpendicular to the grain resulting in a more consistent finish and enhanced stability for better resistance to cupping and warping due to changing ambient conditions.
  • Patented ‘Insta-lock’ cord lock system combined with lightweight Phoenixwood ensures an easy to operate trouble-free blind.
  • Superior child-safe cordless option certified “Best for Kids” on our SmartPrivacy Cordless blind and enhanced child safety features on our other operating systems.

QUALITY AND VERSATILITY

Normandy Wood venetian blinds not only provide design, privacy and light control, they also add value to a home. Like any home investment, blinds of exceptional quality will provide long term value and appreciation.

Wood is the classic choice for venetian blinds given its natural beauty, stability, lightness and infinite finishing options. SmartPrivacy Normandy wood blinds are crafted from Phoenixwood, a stable lightweight plantation timber which has been used for generations to make high quality furniture and musical instruments.

Unlike inferior plain sawn slats, Normandy’s wood blind slats are quarter sawn, cut perpendicular to the grain resulting in a more consistent finish and enhanced stability for better resistance to cupping and warping due to changing ambient conditions.

When you order Normandy wood venetian blinds they are made from scratch like all quality bespoke products and we control every step in the process from preparing the wood, fabricating all the components in house to carefully applying the final finish on the slats.

All Normandy corded wood blinds feature the very special proprietary SmartPrivacy slats which creates a clean crisp elegant style, enhances the blinds closure and offers the ultimate in privacy and light control. Also choose from our additional headrail option, PolyDecor decorative head rails colour co-ordinated with the wood slats, which can be dressed with a range of contemporary valance options.

Normandy wood blinds are available in 50mm or the wider 63mm slats and in a wide range of durable solid and stain colours that are designed to suit any décor. Also, you have the option to select a matching ladder tape to add that designer touch to your blind.

Say goodbye to the fickle and clunky operating experience of the common cord lock. Norman’s reinvented and patented Insta-Lock system not only reduces the pull force required to operate the blind, but also makes it easier to release or lower the blind, while allowing you to lock the blind at any position or angle, effortlessly, without frustrating tugging – especially on corner windows.

OSMO FINISH OPTION

Osmo is a safe, natural and eco-friendly stain finish made from natural plant oils and vegetable waxes, free from common paint and stains and other harmful substances. In a palette of on-trend colours, Osmo amplifies woods natural graining for intensely character-rich slats. Osmo penetrates deeply for durability and rich colour that goes beyond the surface and protection against degradation over time.
