Wood or bamboo? The honest conversation

Some questions have "it depends" as the only honest answer - and this is one of them. So let's not pretend there is a universal winner, and talk instead about what you actually get with each.

Wood is the choice with the biggest wardrobe. 126 decors, three slat widths, from warm oak to matt black, from smooth surfaces to brushed wood you can feel under your finger. If you have a precise colour plan - anthracite frames, smoked-oak floor, furniture in one particular tone - wood gives you the exact shade, not one that is "close enough". And wood is the only material that comes in the 70 mm format, the one for properly big windows.

Bamboo plays a different game. It is noticeably lighter - and on a blind you raise by hand every morning, weight is not a technical detail, it is your daily life. The thin slats let more light through when open, and the raised pack is smaller, so more of the glass stays free. And now the part other shops hide in the footnotes: bamboo varies. Slightly different shades from slat to slat, small irregularities. That is not a manufacturing defect - that is the material. Two identical bamboo blinds do not exist, and that is exactly why some people love it. If you want perfect uniformity, buy painted wood. Honestly, we won't be offended.

In short, without diplomacy: you want the exact shade and maximum choice - wood. You want easy handling and a lively, characterful texture - bamboo. A bedroom with a big window you operate every day? Bamboo will thank you. A living room designed to the millimetre? Wood.

Both are made to the same measurements, to the millimetre, with valance, brackets and child safety device included. You see the price in the configurator before you decide - browse the wood decors and the bamboo colours.
