25mm Aluwood Venetian Blinds — Made to Measure in South Africa
Custom Blinds 25mm aluwood venetian blinds are made-to-order window coverings that combine a realistic wood grain finish with a lightweight aluminium core. Each blind is custom manufactured in South Africa to your exact window measurements, with a typical production time of 7 to 10 working days and free nationwide delivery. Aluwood gives you the warmth and character of timber with none of the maintenance problems.
Who 25mm Aluwood Venetian Blinds Are For
These blinds are ideal for homeowners who love the look of wood but need something that handles moisture, humidity, and South African sun. They suit bathrooms, kitchens, coastal homes, and any room where real wood would risk warping or fading. Renters and homeowners in humid areas like Durban, the Garden Route, and Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard get the timber aesthetic without the upkeep. They also work beautifully in bedrooms and living areas where you want natural warmth without compromise.
How They Work
Each blind features horizontal 25mm slats with a realistic wood grain finish applied to an aluminium core. The slats are controlled by a tilt wand for light and privacy adjustment and a lift cord to raise or lower the blind. The aluminium core means the slats will never warp, bow, or crack — even in steamy bathrooms or kitchens. The wood grain finish is UV-stable, so it will not fade over time.

Custom Blinds has completed over 8,000 installations since 2010, operating from Knysna on the Garden Route. Every online order goes through an expert verification step — the Custom Blinds team checks your measurements and specifications before production begins, reducing the risk of costly errors. The Custom Fit Guarantee protects every order: if your blind arrives too large, Custom Blinds will trim it free of charge. If it arrives too small, you receive 5% off a replacement blind.

Finish and Colour Range

Comparing Aluwood to Other Venetian Blinds
Custom Blinds offers several venetian options. 25mm aluwood delivers the wood look with aluminium practicality — perfect for bathrooms and kitchens. 50mm aluwood provides the same benefits with a wider, bolder slat. Plaswood venetians use a PVC composite for a similar wood look. Real wooden venetians offer authentic timber character but are best limited to dry rooms. Plain aluminium venetians provide the most affordable option without the wood grain finish. Choose aluwood when you want wood warmth in any room.
Installation
Standard installation uses two wall or ceiling brackets and takes approximately 15 minutes per window with a drill and spirit level. A step-by-step measuring guide is available at shop.customblinds.co.za to ensure accurate ordering. Garden Route customers in Knysna, George, Plettenberg Bay, Sedgefield, Mossel Bay, and Wilderness can book professional installation with Duncan Kane, the company founder.
