Blinds From Faux With That Wood Look

Affordable faux wood blinds have the beauty of real hardwoods but are less expensive and easier to maintain. Since faux blinds are manufactured from synthetic material, they do not warp, split or crack even in humid conditions such as the kitchen or bathroom.

Decorate the laundry room or beach house with faux wood window blinds that are able to handle extreme changes in temperature without bowing. Direct sunlight will not cause fading or discoloring. Another advantage is lowered energy costs from their good insulating properties.

Composite materials are made from a combination of PVC and wood pulp making them heavier and more flexible than natural products. Because of the weight there is a need to have extra ladders for support.

Order a faux wood blind with overlapping slats for light control and privacy. Mount on large, bay or corner windows. Choose smooth or embossed styles with a wood-grain texture. Finishes include mahogany, walnut, oak and pine or painted white. A valance and decorative tapes will finish the look.

Faux verticals are a popular option for sliding glass patio doors particularly since they can be matched with horizontal blinds in the same colors. Maintenance free operation and easy to clean vanes make these a classic choice.
