Faux Wood Blinds

Faux Wood Blinds

Faux Wood Blinds have the look of real wood blinds but save you twenty-five to thirty percent of the cost. Because they are a synthetic material they offer worry-free maintenance without the concern of high humidity warping, cracking or splitting them like with real wood blinds. Faux wood blinds are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and most anywhere you would want them. You can buy them in solid vinyl or combined with real wood for additional support.

Levolor Faux Wood Blinds

For environmentally wood-like blinds, Levolor is a brand name definitely worth considering. They are offered in whites and wood tones without warping or cracking. They are ideal for high temperatures and humidity and direct sunlight. You even have the option of purchasing cloth tapes to match or contrast to your blinds. These provide extra privacy and light control, but are stylish as well as functional. You can even purchase routeless blinds that have notches at the back of each slat to take the place of routing holes. This allow for a sleeker design while allowing for greater privacy and light control.

Grandwood Faux Wood Blinds

Grandwood faux wood blinds also offer the beauty of real wood blinds. The White 2-In Grandwood Estate blind offers a real sandwood blasted wood grain texture and excellent finish unlike the flat surfaces of other faux wood blinds that may be similar. Grandwoods are reasonably priced but they are made of high quality materials that look and feel like real wood. They also will not fade, warp or crack, making them ideal for every room in your home. They are simple to install and can have their length and width trimmed by the customer. Grandwood faux wood blinds are even fire retardant.

Grandwoods were never intended to be in the homes of the wealthy. However, because of their popularity, their price has increased because they are a made from a decent material but have been reasonably priced. Their strength is the most important feature considering they can take a considerable amount of punishment unlike the real wood counterparts.

A drawback to faux wood blinds is that they are fake. Because they are made from vinyl or glass fiber they don’t provide the kind of insulation that real wooden blinds do. Though they may be convincing on site anyone would know from the touch that these have been manufactured rather than grown in a forest.
