IF it's true imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Luxaflex Omegawoods Venetian Blinds take the art of imitation to a new level.
This faux wood blind has all the appearance of timber, right down to the realistic timber grain effect on each slat. But it does something the real thing can't.The Omegawoods blind is unaffected by moisture, which can warp or twist timber, so it can be used with confidence in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries. The finish on conventional painted venetians may also peel and crack, while the Omegawoods blind sidesteps this problem because the colour is an integral part of each slat. And talking of colour, the range has two new shades, Honeywood and Baltic Ash. These have been added to an existing palette of creative colours including Arctic Snow, White Birch, Oak, Cherry and Parchment.The Luxaflex Omegawoods blind also scores on cost. It is a very economic alternative to timber blinds, making it ideal for first home buyers and decorators on a budget. It's rugged too, so it's also perfect for children's rooms. On the subject of torture testing, it was given the ultimate workout with exposure to ultraviolet rays equivalent to seven years under the Australian sun, and it passed. And if you have awkward shaped windows, you'll be in luck too. Luxaflex Omegawoods blinds are available in matching specialty shapes for windows, ranging from full arches to circles and ovals, quarter arches, triangles, angles, extended angles and even hexagons and octagons. You have a choice of either fixed or operable shapes. Omegawoods blinds can be supplied with contemporary string tape or retro fabric tape to give a funky '50s feeling to your window furnishings.The operating system is reliable and sturdy with colour-co-ordinated headrail and hardware. These blinds are suitable for corner and bay windows and, when it comes to maintenance, cleaning the polystyrene slats is easy. And unlike timber, you'll never have to oil these slats.
