Cedarslat Venetian From old cottages and grand residences to contemporary architecture, the charm of natural wood has stood the test of time. Western Red Cedar, a naturally fragrant soft wood from the North American rainforests proves to be the most versatile and durable for this collection of Cedarslat venetian blinds. When crafted, it shows a rich grain and naturally wide range of colours. This lightweight timber with its inherent pore structure gives excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
