Though
wood blinds and shutters are the most popular
window coverings sold in America, these two
products are among the most expensive. Faux wood
Blinds offer nature's rich, subtle colors and
unique textures at a fraction of the cost of real
wood shutters. Moreover, wood does not last long
in high moisture areas. Manufacturers have
introduced quality alternatives to wood blinds in
the form of faux wood blinds.
Faux wood blinds are made of vinyl, vinyl
compounds, and a combination of wood and vinyl.
The wood look-alikes are either a wood-polymer mix
or 100-percent polymer. Since these use vinyl for
at least a portion of their slats they have two
inherent advantages to wood blinds: they cost
less, and they resist moisture.
All of the faux wood blinds require more ladders
than wood blinds. The sturdier the blind, the
farther apart the ladders can be placed and
therefore will require fewer ladders.
Many interior designers favor faux wood blinds
because they are easy to clean, an advantage in a
kitchen, and they don’t warp, fade or crack, a
great advantage in a room with high humidity such
as a bathroom.
Faux wood blinds control light and privacy as
effectively as wood blinds, yet they're made of
polymer which makes them sturdy, resistant to
moisture, easy to clean and impervious to warping,
cracking or peeling. They're also energy
efficient, to keep your home warmer in winter,
cooler in summer.
