Wooden blinds are far more susceptible to faults due to the increased weight on the mechanisms, many companies use the same components as in lighter blinds, however these blinds exhert far more pressure on their mountings, so heavier running gear is required to ensure that if you’ve paid more for a finer blind, your blind lasts many years and not just a few before it begins to be squeaky and creaky. Wood vertical blinds require much heavier tracks with wheeled runners, geared cranks and metal tilt rods.
