Residential Wood Venitian Blinds
A small gap. A slightly off tone. A ladder that clashes with the trim.
These are the things you notice every day, in the room that cost the most.
New Way wood venetian blinds are sized to your window opening, matched to your floors and trims, and installed by one team.
Basswood for dry rooms like the bedroom and the living room. Faux wood for wet rooms like the kitchen and the bathroom. Same hardware, same 5-year warranty.
We measure it, install it, and stand behind it.
Trusted, Loved And Installed By
Manual at the slats. Motor only on tall lifts.
Wood venetian blinds are one of the few window coverings where the slat-tilt action does not need power. Twist the wand, the slats tilt. Light moves three ways: open for the view, tilted for soft daylight, closed for privacy. No app, no hub, no pairing call at 11 pm. The lift is the same. A pull cord clears the slats off the glass when you want the window open. A motorised lift is available on tall windows where the cord is too high to reach safely, on stairwell drops, or where you want the shade to open on a schedule.

Tilt without a motor.
A twist of the wand controls the slat angle. The light changes in three steps without anyone reaching for a phone.
Motorise the lift, not the tilt.
The lift becomes a one-button raise when the window is taller than your reach. The tilt stays manual on the same shade.
Sized at measurement to carry a motor later.
The headrail and bracket on the manual version are sized to take a motor at a future renovation. The slats and ladders stay; only the lift hardware swaps in.
Custom happens after we measure your room.
Online color swatches lie. Marketplace size guides round to the nearest centimetre. The result lands on your wall, and now you live with a light gap above the window, a wand that hits the curtain track, or a slat tone that fights the floor. That is how a "custom" purchase quietly becomes a generic one. A New Way site visit happens before the order, not after. We bring the slat samples, ladder tape samples, and ladder string samples (the fabric strips and cords that hold the slats together) to your room and pair them against your floors, trims, and cabinets. How deep the window sits, how far the shade projects, and how square the opening is all get measured to the millimetre, in the lighting your room actually has.

Prevent light leaks before they start.
The window opening is rarely perfectly square. Adjustable brackets and a measured bottom clearance keep the slats sitting flush, so morning light does not creep in around the edges.
Pair the slat material to the room, not the brochure.
Faux wood for the kitchen, the bathroom, the laundry. Basswood for the bedroom, the study, the living room. Bamboo if you want a more sustainable choice. We confirm the call at the site visit.
Match the ladder to the trim, the floor, or the wall.
The ladder tapes and strings (the fabric and cord that hold the slats together) come in colors that can disappear into the slat tone or pick up the trim. The pairing is decided in the room, not from a photo.
Timber tones that make your home feel finished
You can spend on flooring, lighting, and joinery, then ruin the room with a slat tone that fights the floor. When the tone is slightly off, you notice it every day, and the space never feels finished. With seven core slat tones spanning modern, rustic, traditional, and statement palettes, plus extended custom matching at measurement, the pairing is decided in the room against the floors and the trim, not from an online swatch.

Stop settling for close enough tones.
Online images rarely match real lighting. If the slats look too warm, too grey, or too dark, the shade clashes with the flooring and the room reads mismatched. Seven core tones (Arctic White, Mist Grey, Stone Grey, Light Oak, Red Mahogany, Dark Walnut, Black) plus extended custom matching at measurement cover oak, walnut, and modern white-and-grey palettes alike.
Keep one look across the whole home.
Most homes carry different performance briefs across rooms: dry living areas want natural warmth, wet kitchens and bathrooms need moisture resistance. The basswood and PS faux wood ranges share a common finish family, so the bedroom and the kitchen can carry the same tone without the home reading as two material decisions.
Match the ladder so the shade looks tailored.
If the ladder tape or ladder string clashes with the slat tone, the shade reads generic. Ladder palettes are decided at measurement to disappear into the slat tone for a seamless finish or to carry a controlled contrast that picks up the trim. The detail is small; the difference is daily.
Faux wood for the rooms that get steamy.
Real wood swells when the air gets wet. Kitchens and bathrooms stay wet in a tropical climate, every day. Standard wood blinds installed there warp first where the cord pulls the slats, then the slats stop tilting square, and the install looks tired inside a year. Faux wood is the answer New Way specifies for those rooms. The slat is a polystyrene composite engineered for moisture, with an anti-static finish that resists dust and a UV-stable coating that resists yellowing in sun-exposed rooms. It carries a timber look in the same color range as the basswood slats, so the finish stays consistent across the kitchen, the bathroom, and the dry rooms next door.

Engineered for the wet rooms.
The polystyrene composite does not absorb moisture, does not swell, and does not warp where the cord pulls. The slat-tilt stays square year after year.
UV-stable surface for sun-exposed glass.
The high-UV coating is designed to resist yellowing and fading. The internal target is colour stability across a ten-year life; manufacturer test certification is on the production roadmap.
One palette, two materials.
The faux wood and basswood ranges share the same color range. The bathroom and the bedroom can carry the same tone without two separate material orders.
Bring real timber grain to dry rooms
The bedroom and the living room are dry rooms. Air conditioning, not steam. That is where real wood earns its place: the grain you can see, the surface you can run a finger across, the slight tonal variation between one slat and the next that makes the window feel hand-made. Basswood is the species we use on the line. Kiln-dried before cut, sealed with a multi-layer finish and a low-VOC UV-resistant topcoat for stability under everyday use. The grain shows. The finish reads warm under both daylight and lamp light.

Real grain, not printed grain.
Basswood carries the texture of a hardwood slat at a weight the same headrail can lift cleanly. The look is the look a custom carpenter specifies, not a printed wood pattern on a plastic core.
Quiet operation.
Cloth ladder tapes and felted pads inside the headrail dampen the contact between the slats and the tilt rod, so a quiet bedroom stays quiet when the slats tilt.
One finish family across the home.
The basswood palette overlaps the faux wood palette in the same color range, so the bedroom and the kitchen can carry the same tone without two separate material orders.

Complete Technical Specifications for Wood Venetian Blinds
What are New Way wood venetian blinds made from?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds use one of three slat materials on a shared aluminium-headrail chassis: kiln-dried basswood with a multi-seal coating and a low-VOC UV topcoat, PS composite with an anti-static moisture-resistant high-UV coated surface system, or bamboo as a sustainability-led variant.
Homeowners choosing between real wood and faux wood across different rooms in the same home, who want one finish family across the kitchen, the bedroom, and the bathroom.
Basswood slat build.
The wood slats are kiln-dried before cut and sealed with a multi-coat finishing system topped with a low-VOC UV coating. The seal stabilises the slat against everyday handling in dry rooms and resists the slight tonal shift that uncoated hardwood develops under sun. As of 2026, basswood is specified for bedrooms, studies, and living rooms.
PS composite slat build.
The faux wood slats are a polystyrene composite with an anti-static surface treatment that resists dust pickup and a high-UV coating that resists yellowing in sun-exposed rooms. The composite does not absorb moisture, so the slat does not swell or warp at the cord run in wet rooms.
Finishes.
Three surface finishes carry across the line: wire-brushed texture, open-pore stain, and low-gloss white. The finishes share a palette family so a basswood bedroom and a PS faux wood kitchen can carry the same tone without two material orders.
Headrail and tilt rod.
Aluminium headrail and steel tilt rod sit above the slat ladder. The headrail carries the lift mechanism and the optional motor on tall windows. Cloth ladder tapes and felted gaskets at the rail damp the contact between slat and rod.
How does PS faux wood perform in tropical kitchens and bathrooms?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds in PS faux wood are specified for tropical wet rooms because the polystyrene composite slat does not absorb moisture, the anti-static surface resists dust pickup, and the high-UV coating is designed to resist yellowing in sun-exposed glass.
Klang Valley and Johor kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms where standard wood swells at the cord run and starts looking tired inside a year.
Moisture and warping resistance.
The PS composite does not absorb water, which is the failure mechanism that warps real wood slats first at the cord run and then off-square along the lift line. The slat-tilt stays square year after year in rooms where humidity cycles between 60 and 90 percent.
UV-stable surface for sun-exposed rooms.
The high-UV coating is designed to resist yellowing and fading in rooms with direct afternoon sun. As of 2026, the internal target is colour stability across a ten-year service life; manufacturer test certification is on the production roadmap.
Anti-static surface for upkeep.
The slat surface is anti-static, which reduces dust pickup between cleans. A wipe-down with a damp microfibre cloth keeps the slat looking clean without the daily dust film that gathers on a non-treated slat.
Consistent finish across the home.
The PS palette family overlaps the basswood palette family, so the kitchen and the bedroom can carry the same tone. Open-plan kitchens with a wet zone and a dining zone read as one room rather than two material decisions.
How big can a New Way wood venetian blind go?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds are available in 35 mm and 50 mm slat widths, up to 290 cm wide and up to 500 cm drop on the standard chassis, with a recommended recess depth of 60 mm for inside-mount installs.
Wide patio doors, tall stairwell drops, and bay-window assemblies where the slat span and the recess depth are the deciding factors before the order goes in.
Slat scale to window.
The 35 mm slat reads tighter on smaller windows or tighter sightlines, where a narrower horizontal line keeps the window from feeling chopped. The 50 mm slat reads cleaner on larger windows, where a stronger horizontal line carries the eye across the span.
Maximum sizing.
Standard maximums are 290 cm wide and 500 cm drop on the same chassis. As of 2026, these limits cover most residential glazing across Klang Valley landed homes and condominium units; specific feasibility is confirmed at the site measurement.
Recess depth and projection.
The recommended inside-mount recess depth is 60 mm. A shallower recess means the headrail projects past the reveal line, which can foul a window handle or a curtain track behind the shade. The decision between inside-mount and outside-mount is made at the site measurement based on the actual reveal.
Bracket tolerance for real walls.
Adjustable end brackets carry a ±5 mm tolerance, which lets the installer fine-tune the fit on a reveal that is not perfectly square. Most residential reveals are not perfectly square, especially on plastered walls and on renovated openings.
How is the lift motorised, and which smart-home systems does it work with?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds are manual at the tilt on every configuration; the lift can be motorised on tall windows or stairwell drops with one of four motor brands (Kepta, Lutron, Aqara, Somfy), with direct Google Home and direct Amazon Alexa on both motor routes and Apple HomeKit bridged via the Aqara hub or the Lutron motor option.
Tall windows, stairwell drops, and primary-bedroom installs where the lift cord cannot be reached safely or where a scheduled morning open is on the renovation brief.
Manual tilt across the line.
The slat-tilt mechanism is manual on every configuration. A twist of the wand changes the slats between the three positions of light: open for the view, tilted for soft daylight, closed for privacy. The tilt does not pair with a hub, does not need power, and does not depend on the home network.
Motor brands supported on the lift.
Lift motorisation is available with Kepta, Lutron, Aqara, or Somfy motors, each matched to a different ecosystem and budget tier. The motor brand is chosen at site measurement based on which smart-home ecosystem already runs in the home.
Direct Alexa and direct Google Home.
Amazon Alexa and Google Home run directly through the motor on every supported motor brand. No paid bridge accessory, no extra hub.
Apple HomeKit through the Aqara hub or the Lutron motor option.
Apple HomeKit is not native on the lift motor. On the Aqara motor route, HomeKit bridges through the Aqara hub, the same hub that already pairs Aqara sensors and lights in the home. On the Lutron motor route, HomeKit bridges through the Lutron motor option and Lutron Clear Connect RF carries the protocol into a broader Lutron lighting and shading control plan. Once the bridge is set up, Siri, Google, and Alexa fire the same scenes.
Broader ecosystem support.
Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant, and Tuya integrations are supported on the relevant motor brands. Apple Watch control is available through the Lutron App on the Lutron motor option. A dry-contact interface is available for building automation integrations on commercial briefs.
How are New Way wood venetian blinds measured and installed?
Every New Way residential wood venetian blind is sized to the reveal at a New Way site measurement, with the bracket tolerance, the slat material, the slat tone, and the ladder pairing locked in the room before the order goes in.
Renovation-stage owners who want the bracket fit and the reveal squareness sorted at the site visit, before the ceiling or the floor closes off later access.
Site measurement before the order.
A New Way installer visits the home to record the reveal width, the reveal depth, the projection clearance, and the squareness of each opening. The slat tone and the ladder pairing are decided in the room against the floors, the trims, and the joinery, in the lighting the room actually has.
Inside, outside, or face-fix mount.
The mount option is decided at measurement based on the reveal depth and the sightline preference. Inside mount keeps the shade flush in the reveal; outside or face-fix mount covers a shallow recess or an out-of-square opening more cleanly.
Bracket tolerance for plaster walls.
Adjustable end brackets at ±5 mm carry the fine adjustment needed on plastered or renovated walls that are not perfectly square. The slat sits flush after install, so morning light does not creep in around the edges.
Coordination with the renovation timeline.
The site measurement coordinates with the home's electrical, AV, and millwork contractors. As of 2026, the install date is scheduled to land before the ceiling closes on a renovation, so the concealed power for the optional lift motor can be routed cleanly without surface trunking.
What does the New Way 5-year warranty cover?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds carry a 5-year warranty across every configuration, covering the slat fabric, the hardware, the lift mechanism, and the lift motor on motorised orders for material and workmanship faults.
Homeowners who got burned on a marketplace install and want one team to call when the slat tilts off-square in year three.
One warranty across manual and motorised.
The 5-year coverage applies to the manual chain configuration and to every motorised lift configuration (Kepta, Lutron, Aqara, Somfy). The brand-wide promise does not split coverage by component or by tier.
Warranty start date.
Coverage begins on the install date recorded by the New Way team, not on the order date. The install date is the moment the shade is fitted, commissioned, and signed off at the site.
Certified fabricator on the motor brands.
New Way is a certified authorised fabricator for the four motor brands carried on the line, so motor warranty claims and motor support route through the same team that measured and installed the shade. There is no second supplier to call.
Exclusions.
Wear and tear from misuse, unapproved modifications, and environmental damage outside the product's rated operating conditions are not covered. As of 2026, specific exclusion wording is confirmed at quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pre-Sales
Are wood and PS faux wood venetian blinds suitable for Malaysian and Singaporean homes?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds suit Malaysian and Singaporean home conditions because the PS faux wood slats use a moisture-resistant high-UV coated surface system engineered for tropical wet rooms, while the kiln-dried basswood slats with a multi-seal coating and low-VOC UV topcoat are specified for the dry rooms. The PS option goes into the kitchen, the bathroom, and the laundry; the basswood option goes into the bedroom, the study, and the living room. As of 2026, both materials run on the same aluminium-headrail chassis and share a common finish palette, so the open-plan kitchen and the bedroom can carry the same tone without two material orders.
What is the difference between basswood and PS faux wood on the New Way line?
New Way basswood wood venetian blinds use kiln-dried hardwood slats with a multi-seal coating and a low-VOC UV topcoat, while New Way PS faux wood venetian blinds use polystyrene composite slats with an anti-static moisture-resistant high-UV coated surface system. Basswood reads warmer and carries real grain you can see and feel, which is why it is specified for dry rooms where the tactile finish is the brief. PS faux wood does not absorb moisture and does not warp at the cord run, which is why it is specified for kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms. The slat tones overlap in the same finish family, so a basswood bedroom and a PS faux wood kitchen can carry one cohesive look.
How do New Way wood venetian blinds compare to marketplace kits on Shopee or Lazada?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds are measured, fabricated, and installed by a single New Way team with a 5-year warranty and a named after-sales contact, distinct from marketplace kits that arrive flat-packed from third-party sellers and require self-measurement, self-installation, and self-troubleshooting on any fault. As of 2026, New Way is a certified authorised fabricator for Kepta, Lutron, Aqara, and Somfy, so warranty claims and motor support route through the same team that measured the windows and installed the shade. Marketplace listings cannot offer the same after-sales path because the seller is a different entity from the fabricator, which is the reason most marketplace shading buyers eventually pay twice when a slat tilts off-square or a cord breaks.
Can wood venetian blinds match the floors, trims, and cabinets in my home?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds are selected against the room’s actual floors, trims, and cabinets at a New Way site visit, with seven core slat tones spanning modern (Arctic White, Mist Grey, Stone Grey), rustic (Light Oak), traditional (Red Mahogany, Dark Walnut), and statement (Black) palettes, plus extended custom matching available at the site visit. The slat tone and the ladder pairing are decided in the room, in the lighting the room actually has, rather than from an online swatch. Three finishes (wire-brushed texture, open-pore stain, low-gloss white) carry across the basswood and faux wood material lines, which keeps the look consistent in an open-plan home where the kitchen and the living room share sightlines.
Specifications
What is the maximum window size a New Way wood venetian blind can cover?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds are available up to 290 cm wide and up to 500 cm drop on the standard chassis, in 35 mm or 50 mm slat widths. As of 2026, these limits cover most residential glazing across Klang Valley landed homes, condominium units, and stairwell drops; specific feasibility is confirmed at the New Way site measurement, based on the actual reveal and the chosen slat material. The recommended inside-mount recess depth is 60 mm, and adjustable end brackets carry a ±5 mm tolerance to fine-tune the fit on reveals that are not perfectly square.
What slat widths are available, and which suits my windows?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds are available in 35 mm and 50 mm slat widths, each suited to different window scales. The 35 mm slat reads tighter and works on smaller windows and tighter sightlines, where a narrower horizontal line keeps the window from feeling chopped. The 50 mm slat reads cleaner on larger windows, where a stronger horizontal line carries the eye across the span. As of 2026, both widths carry the same seven core slat tones, the same finish family, and the same ±5 mm bracket tolerance, so a home with mixed window sizes can specify both widths in matching tones without breaking the look.
Do New Way wood venetian blinds reduce noise?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds include cloth ladder tapes and felted headrail gaskets that damp the mechanical contact between the slats and the tilt rod, so the daily slat-tilt action stays quiet in bedrooms, studies, and other rooms where contact noise would interrupt. The shade is not an acoustic product and does not block external noise through the glass; the noise reduction is operational, not architectural. As of 2026, the cloth-tape and felted-gasket package is standard across the basswood, PS faux wood, and bamboo variants on the same chassis, so the noise behaviour is consistent regardless of slat material.
Smart Integration
Can New Way wood venetian blinds be motorised, and which smart-home systems does the lift motor work with?
New Way residential wood venetian blinds are manual on the slat-tilt across every configuration, with the lift available as a motorised option on tall windows or stairwell drops where the cord cannot be reached safely. The lift motor is available on four certified motor brands (Kepta, Lutron, Aqara, Somfy) and supports direct Google Home and direct Amazon Alexa on both motor routes. As of 2026, broader ecosystem support includes Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant, and Tuya on the relevant motor brands. The Lutron motor route adds Apple Watch control through the Lutron App, available on iOS and Android, plus a dry-contact interface for building automation integrations on commercial briefs.
Do New Way wood venetian blinds work with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?
New Way motorised wood venetian blinds integrates with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home, with HomeKit running through one of two bridge paths and Alexa and Google Home running directly through the motor on both routes. On the Aqara motor route, HomeKit bridges through the Aqara hub, which is the same hub that already pairs Aqara sensors and lights in the home. On the Lutron motor route, HomeKit bridges through the Lutron motor option, and Lutron Clear Connect RF carries the integration into a broader Lutron lighting and shading control plan. As of 2026, the lift motor is not HomeKit-native on either route; once the bridge is configured, Siri, Google, and Alexa fire the same scenes.
Should the lift be motorised on every wood venetian blind or only on tall windows?
New Way recommends motorising the lift on wood venetian blinds only where the cord cannot be reached safely or where a scheduled morning open is on the renovation brief, because the slat-tilt that handles daily light control is manual on every configuration and does not benefit from a motor. As of 2026, the common motorisation cases are stairwell drops, tall living-room glazing above 2.7 m, and primary bedrooms where the homeowner does not want to step up to reach the cord daily. The manual chain configuration on shorter windows operates reliably for years and carries the same 5-year New Way warranty as the motorised configurations.
Warranty
What does the New Way 5-year warranty cover on wood venetian blinds?
The New Way 5-year warranty covers wood venetian blinds fabric, hardware, lift mechanism, and lift motor (where motorisation is specified) for material and workmanship faults across every configuration sold under the New Way residential line. As of 2026, the 5-year period applies equally to manual chain configurations and to motorised lift configurations on Kepta, Lutron, Aqara, and Somfy motor brands, because New Way is a certified authorised fabricator for all four. The warranty period begins on the install date recorded by the New Way team, supported by Klang Valley and Singapore offices with stocked spares. Wear and tear from misuse, unapproved modifications, or environmental damage outside the product’s rated operating conditions is not covered.
Will PS faux wood yellow or fade over time?
New Way PS faux wood venetian blinds use an anti-static moisture-resistant high-UV coated surface system designed to resist yellowing and fading in sun-exposed rooms. As of 2026, the internal target is colour stability across a ten-year service life, with manufacturer test certification on the production roadmap; the specific test body and certificate number are confirmed at quotation. The PS composite slat itself does not absorb moisture, so the surface coating does not lift along the cord run the way it would on uncoated wood. Anti-static treatment also reduces the dust film that gathers on standard plastic slats, which helps the slat keep its original tone between cleans.
Buying Journey
How long does the New Way measurement-to-install process take for wood venetian blinds?
The New Way measurement-to-install timeline for wood venetian blinds begins with a site visit booked typically within 5 to 7 business days of enquiry, followed by a written quote within 1 business day of the site visit. As of 2026, fabrication time depends on the slat material, the slat tone, and whether the lift is motorised: stocked tones in standard widths ship faster than custom palettes or motorised lifts. Coordination with the home’s electrical, AV, and millwork contractors happens at the same site visit, so the install date aligns with the ceiling-closure deadline on a renovation. Specific dates are confirmed at quotation.
