Blinds Design Advice
Rule 1 Which range of blinds is right for me?
The California Company offers a comprehensive range of wood blinds and wood like blinds. Choosing the range of blinds that is right for you, first of all depends on the environment in the room itself.
If water contact is not a factor then any of our wooden blind ranges on offer will work perfectly.
The Malibu range of blinds

The Malibu range has a wide selection of colour choices and is available with a 50mm slat. This range also offers the option of ordering your blinds with tapes which are becoming very popular with California Company blinds customers.

The Santa Ana range of blinds

The Santa Ana range offers the same range of colour choices as the Malibu range but features our privacy construction method. Basically this means that the blind slats do not have holes punched through the slats, through which the blind strings are fed. This means that when you have the blind closed over at night, there is no ability for light to filter through the slats first thing in the morning and people cannot see through these holes. If your window is close to the road or your room faces east and gets the morning sun, then the Santa Ana privacy wood blinds range would be the choice we recommend.

Our Monterey range of blinds

Our Monterey range is designed specifically for particularly moist environments most often where the blind will be in direct, regular contact with water. For example, this blind would be best suited to windows which are located close to a shower, where direct running water hits the blind slats and runs down off the blind. The Monterey range is fully waterproof and will therefore not be impacted by the effect of water on the blind.

Beverly Hills range of blinds

The Beverly Hills wooden blind range features 64mm slats and have increased spacing between the slats of the blind. This gives a slightly clearer view between the blinds slats and is great if you have a fantastic view that you want to see clearly, even then the blind is down. This wood blinds range has shutter style slats that are aerofoil in shape and therefore resemble the profile of a shutter slat. As these slats are larger then the 50mm Malibu and Santa Ana ranges, they are heavier and therefore the blind can be quite heavy to raise and is a consideration if you intend to raise and lower the blind on a regular basis. The Beverly Hills blinds range is a very popular choice among California Company customers who purchase shutters but also buy blinds as the 2 slat sizes of 64mm work well together.
