puukaihtimet

Puukaihtimet are a type of wooden blind used for window coverings. They are made from slats of wood, often hardwoods like basswood or poplar, which can be adjusted to control the amount of light entering a room and provide privacy. These blinds typically feature a cord mechanism for raising and lowering the entire blind, and a separate tilt wand or cord system to adjust the angle of the slats.

The construction of puukaihtimet involves assembling the wooden slats onto a headrail and a bottom rail, with cords running through them to facilitate movement. The slats can be painted, stained, or left natural to match interior decor. They offer a classic and natural aesthetic, often chosen for their warmth and traditional look.

Maintenance for puukaihtimet usually involves dusting with a soft cloth or using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth can be used, taking care not to oversaturate the wood. Due to their natural material, they are best suited for environments with controlled humidity. Puukaihtimet are a popular choice for residential and commercial spaces seeking a balance of functionality and decorative appeal.
