Nothing matches the warmth of genuine hardwood. Hunter Douglas Parkland® Wood Blinds are crafted from premium North American hardwoods—basswood, ash, and cherry—with over 100 stain and paint finishes. Each slat showcases natural wood grain, bringing organic beauty and timeless elegance to Ottawa homes.
Parkland® blinds use genuine North American hardwoods selected for consistent grain and quality. Basswood—the preferred choice—is lightweight yet strong, with a fine, even grain that accepts stains beautifully. Ash offers pronounced grain patterns for character; cherry provides rich, warm tones that deepen over time.
Unlike faux wood or composite alternatives, Parkland® blinds have the authentic weight, texture, and appearance that only real wood provides. You can see the grain, feel the quality, and appreciate the natural variations that make each blind unique. For homeowners who value authenticity, Parkland® delivers.
Basswood is Parkland®'s signature material—a North American hardwood prized for blind manufacturing. It's lightweight (easier to operate), stable (resists warping), and has a fine grain that stains evenly. Most Parkland® blinds use basswood for these practical and aesthetic advantages.
For distinctive character, consider ash or cherry. Ash features bold grain patterns that show through light stains, creating visual interest. Cherry offers naturally warm reddish tones that deepen and mature over years. Our consultants show you samples of each species to help you choose.

Parkland® offers one of the industry's most extensive finish selections—over 100 stains and paints. Stains range from natural light tones that highlight grain to deep espresso that creates drama. Paints include designer whites, grays, and colors for any décor direction.
