The Beauty of Real Wood
There's something irreplaceable about genuine wood blinds. The natural grain patterns, the warmth of the finish, the substantial feel—these qualities simply can't be replicated by faux alternatives.
Parkland Wood Blinds are crafted from premium North American basswood, selected for its:
- Consistent grain – Uniform appearance across all slats
- Lightweight strength – Easy operation without sacrificing durability
- Smooth surface – Accepts stains and paints beautifully
- Stability – Resists warping under normal conditions
For Ottawa homeowners who appreciate authentic materials and quality craftsmanship, Parkland delivers the real thing.
Finishes & Colours
Parkland Wood Blinds are available in an extensive palette of stains and paints:
- Classic Stains - Natural, honey, pecan, oak, cherry, walnut, and espresso tones that showcase the wood grain.
- Designer Stains - Weathered finishes, grey washes, and contemporary tones for modern aesthetics.
- Painted Finishes - Crisp whites, soft creams, and custom colours for a polished look.
- Specialty Finishes - Distressed textures and hand-scraped looks for rustic or farmhouse décor.
Randall's is the only retail store in Ottawa offering interior wood stain matching—we can match your blinds to existing millwork, flooring, or furniture.
