Transparent pricing for Real Wood and PVC Durawood blinds. Get a custom quote for your Metro Manila project.
Wood blind pricing in the Philippines depends on four main variables: material (PVC Durawood or Real Wood Basswood), the square footage of your windows, the slat width you choose (2-inch slats are standard), and any upgrades such as ladder tape or motorization. This guide breaks down each factor so you can build a realistic budget before requesting a formal quotation.
Value & Quality
Wood blinds are furniture-grade window treatments, not just functional covers. The horizontal slat structure gives precise control over natural light — from fully open to fully closed, with every angle in between.
Tilt slats to any angle — direct light toward the ceiling, block glare, or close fully. Unlike curtains or roller shades, every position between open and closed is usable. Wood blinds let you angle slats to direct light upward without exposing the room to direct glare or heat.
Durawood slats resist humidity warping; Real Wood develops a patina that improves with age. Well-maintained wood blinds last 15–25 years. Per-year cost is significantly lower than fabric alternatives that fade and need replacing every 3–5 years.
The structured horizontal lines add architectural detail to any room — contemporary or traditional. At ₱280–₱600/sqft they deliver a plantation shutter aesthetic at a fraction of the ₱2,000+/sqft cost of actual shutters.
PVC Durawood core doesn't absorb moisture — safe in bathrooms, kitchens, and rooms with aircon condensation where real wood would warp. The Philippines' climate makes moisture resistance a practical requirement, not a luxury.

The Anatomy of Price
Two identical-looking wood blinds on the same window can differ by ₱200/sqft or more. These five factors drive almost all of that variance.
PVC Durawood is an engineered composite that mimics the look of wood while resisting humidity — it will not warp in wet rooms or fluctuating Philippine climates. It typically runs ₱280–₱350/sqft. Real Wood (Basswood or Paulownia) is kiln-dried natural timber with genuine grain texture at ₱400–₱600+/sqft. For most residential rooms, Durawood delivers 90% of the visual result at 60% of the price.
Pricing is per sq ft, so larger windows cost more in absolute terms. Very wide windows (over 6 feet) may require a centre-support bracket or a heavier-gauge headrail to prevent bowing, which adds to materials cost. Very tall windows (over 7 feet) use more lift cord and more slats per unit, increasing material consumption.
Standard painted finishes (white, off-white, champagne) are base price. Stained wood finishes that show the natural grain require additional finishing steps and typically carry a small premium. Ladder tape — wide decorative cloth tape replacing the standard string ladder — adds a visible premium finish and is priced as an add-on.
Standard bracket mounting on accessible windows at normal ceiling height is included in the base installation rate. Projects with complications — high windows requiring scaffolding, curved window frames, difficult drill access behind trim or tiles, or managed building permit requirements — may carry a supplemental labor fee.
Electric motors for wood blinds allow tilt and lift control via remote, wall switch, or smart home integration. Motor units run ₱5,000–₱10,000+ per window depending on the motor brand. Motorization requires a 220V outlet near the headrail — most valuable for high windows or whole-room automation.
How It Compares
Wood blinds occupy a specific position in the window treatment market — below plantation shutters in cost, above most fabric options in durability, and with better light control precision than either curtains or roller shades.
| Feature | Wood Blinds | Curtains |
|---|---|---|
| Light control | Precise tilt angle | Open or closed only |
| Dust & allergens | Wipe-clean slats | Fabric traps dust |
| Space when open | Minimal stack-back | Rod and fabric stack |
| Humidity rooms | Durawood resists warp | Fabric molds/stains |
| Aesthetic | Structured, architectural | Soft, textural |
| Feature | Wood Blinds | Roller Shades |
|---|---|---|
| Light angles | Tiltable slats | No mid-position control |
| Privacy + light | Slats angled up | Must choose one or other |
| Price range | ₱280–₱600/sqft | ₱100–₱300/sqft |
| Look | Traditional, premium | Modern, minimalist |
| Lifespan | 15–25 years | 5–10 years (fabric) |
Material Options
Match your room conditions, budget, and aesthetic goals to the right material type before quoting.
₱280 – ₱350 / sq ft
PVC Durawood slats are engineered from a polyvinyl composite core with a wood-grain finish applied to both faces. The result closely mimics painted or stained wood at a lower cost, with one key advantage: the PVC core does not absorb moisture. In the Philippines' humid climate — especially in bathrooms, kitchens near sinks, or rooms without air conditioning — this moisture resistance is significant. Durawood will not bow, crack, or delaminate with seasonal humidity changes the way natural wood can. It is also lighter per slat than real wood, making the entire blind assembly easier to operate manually and reducing stress on wall anchors over time.
₱400 – ₱600+ / sq ft
Real Wood blinds use kiln-dried Basswood (Tilia americana) or Paulownia — both lightweight hardwoods valued in the window blind industry for their dimensional stability after kiln treatment and their ability to hold a fine stain. The natural grain varies subtly between slats, giving a handcrafted, furniture-grade appearance that engineered materials cannot fully replicate. Real Wood is the right choice for living rooms, executive offices, boardrooms, and hospitality spaces where the premium texture and warmth of natural timber is the design intent. It should be avoided in wet rooms without adequate ventilation, where prolonged humidity exposure can cause warping over time even in kiln-dried stock.
How to Estimate
Measure the window opening width in inches. For outside mount, add 3–4 inches on each side for coverage so the blind overlaps the frame and blocks more light.
Height from top bracket position to sill (inside mount) or above frame to below sill (outside mount). Measure to the nearest half-inch for accurate fabrication.
Width × Height ÷ 144 = square footage. Example: 48" × 60" = 2,880 ÷ 144 = 20 sqft. This is the billable area of the finished blind.
Multiply sqft × ₱300 (Durawood mid-range) or ₱500 (Real Wood mid-range) for a budget estimate. For an official quote with exact pricing, request a free site measurement.
