While standard Siberian basswood is a popular choice for most situations, if you're seeking better thermal insulation, we recommend Abachi wood from our Africa&Shade collection. Another excellent option is bamboo, known for its structural integrity, which allows us to produce thinner slats. Additionally, bamboo is moisture-resistant, making it ideal for humid environments. When selecting the colour, choose one that best complements your space; for smaller areas, bright colours with glossy finishes are recommended to visually open up the room. It’s also worth noting that our exclusive wooden blinds come equipped with a motor and remote control and are Smart Home compatible, offering the most convenient control options available.
