A: Cedar venetians are a natural product and each tree is different giving each blind their own unique look, no timber venetian is the same.
At Yahmo we grade our venetians from light to medium and medium to dark. We source our cedar through re-growth forests only. The younger the tree, the lighter the colour and the older the tree, the darker the colour.

A: At Yahmo we only use premium grade timber. Because timber is a natural product there may be slight movement but we guarantee our slats not to warp excessively.

A: Yahmo only use the finest quality components. Therefore we can offer our famous five year warranty, but if well maintained your blinds will last much longer.

Q: Should I match my blinds to my walls and floor?
A: Choosing the right colour, texture and product could either make or break your room. For instance, if you choose blinds to match your walls, they make the room look bigger, if you match it to your floor it may make the room look smaller than it is. Let our experienced team of representatives at Yahmo help make your decision the right one.
