1″ Basswood Blinds
1″ wood blinds are a great way to treat smaller windows in your home or office. 1″ basswood blinds are an ideal application for windows or doors with narrow sills because of the width of the wood slats. Natural wood blinds are generally available in a variety of colors, some online retailers usually have up to fourteen different colors to choose from like cherry or pine colors, including the distressed wood blind look.
1″ basswood blinds are made with 100% kiln dried basswood, which comes from the linden tree and is often used in home furnishings because of it’s attractiveness. When buying any kind of window covering, make sure it’s from a reputable dealer and that the blinds conform to the CPSC child safety guidelines.

It can’t be motorized like 2″ basswood blinds can with battery-operated tilt systems. The maximum width of a natural wood window covering is generally going to be about 72 inches, with a maxium height of 120″. To flush mount a one inch basswood blind in a window frame, you’ll generally need at least 2 inches of space to fit the valance. An outside mind will take up to 1 1/4″. The headrail measures 1″ x 1 1/2″ and like all the other parts are color coordinated to match everything.
Mounting a 1″ basswood blind system is not difficult and most ship with all the mounting hardware included. Natural wood blinds are much more lightweight than faux wood blinds, so it’s likely an individual would have no problem installing it themselves. Always remember, if a window covering has a width of more than three feet, it can be a good idea to have assistance when installing.
