Western Red Cedar, Stylish & Sustainable from Timbeck

Introducing the Wide Blade Blind

There's a new type of window trend on the scene, giving you the look of a shutter at a 'blind price'. The Wide Blade Blind utilising 90mm Cedar slats allows privacy, light control, protection and versatility, achieving a sense of openness and control over your environment, which is essential in today's window furnishings.

Made from Western Red Cedar, an energy efficient Canadian species able to withstand the extreme heat and conditions of Australian window furnishings, this stylish blind can be clear-coated, stained or painted to a colour of your choice. The Wide Blade Blind can also be taken outside for external screening of patios, balconies and alfresco living areas.

With over 40 years of experience in the industry, TIMBECK architectural imports, seasons and mills Western Red Cedar for the rigors of the Australian climate. Available in early 2010, the Wide Blade Blind will be sure to open an exciting new chapter in the timber window fashion story.

Timber Window Coverings - Still In Demand

The natural look and feel of real timber as a window furnishing is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, and Timbeck intend to help accommodate the rising demands. Not only is the staple Venetian blind again finding favour amongst consumers, but the introduction of more colour and wider slat options, and the possibility of use in vertical applications, is broadening timber's appeal.

With decades of experience behind them, Timbeck knows that the most reliable and proven timber for window coverings in all climatic conditions is Western Red Cedar. With a pleasant aromatic smell and beautiful grain structure, Western Red Cedar is stable and lightweight, allowing the home owner control over the blind by being able to angle the slats according to the living space and user requirements. Western Red Cedar is one of the best thermal insulating timbers in the world, meaning your timber window covering will have the added benefit of energy savings.

Timbeck produces and distributes a large range of lacquered and oiled Cedar slats to blind makers in clear, stained and painted finishes. They also offer a very economic cut to measure service. Using the latest vacuum coating technology, Timbeck coats their products all round in the one process, making for a seamless finish. They also use water-based products with no VOCs ensuring the total finished product is environmentally friendly.
