Faux Wood Blinds

Faux wood blinds are a cost-friendly alternative to genuine wood blinds, allowing a similar appearance at a reduced price. They’re available in a wide range of colors and woodgrain styles with genuine stains and wood textures. With a variety of slat sizes to choose from, faux wood blinds can fit most standard-size windows and offer privacy and light control.

Faux wood blinds can withstand humidity, moisture, and temperature changes without warping or cracking, giving them a functional advantage over genuine wood blinds. Since they’re made from PVC materials, they’re better suited to kitchens and bathrooms. They’re also easy to clean; simply wipe down with soapy water and remove dust when needed.

Why Choose Faux Wood Blinds?

At JustBlinds, our goal is to make window treatment shopping as easy as possible. Our Buying Guide for Faux Wood Blinds is a great place to start! Here are some advantages when choosing faux wood blinds for your home:

• Moisture Resistant: The PVC materials used in faux wood blinds are resistant to humidity and moisture, which prevent warping or fading.
• Durable: Faux wood blinds are more durable than real wood blinds, which can mean fewer scratches and minor damage over time.
• Cost Effective: Genuine wood blinds can get expensive. Faux wood blinds provide a similar appearance to real wood blinds at a significantly reduced cost.

Upgrades and Options

Faux wood blinds have some options and upgrades available to enhance their look or function.

• Cordless Lift: This popular upgrade allows you to operate your faux wood blinds with a hidden control system. You can easily raise or lower your blinds with just a finger, and eliminate unsightly cords.
• Rounded Corners: A subtle upgrade, choosing to round the corners of your faux wood blind slats make the edges look more finished for a cleaner look.
• Routeless: Routeless blinds eliminate the visible holes for the cords to pass through, giving you more light blockage and privacy. Be advised, this is not an ideal upgrade for outside mount faux wood blinds.
• Cloth Tapes: Add a stylish flair to your faux wood blinds with a range of different fabric styles, and increase light blockage and privacy.
• Valances and Cornices: Add a stylish topper to your blinds with a custom valance or cornice.

Considerations

Here are a few things to consider before purchasing faux wood blinds.

• Faux wood blinds are actually heavier than their wood blind counterpart, and may not be the best choice for larger windows. Installation and operation can be difficult for large windows.
• While they have a similar appearance to wood blinds, faux wood blinds are not an exact replica. There are many options available to get a similar appearance, along with embossed slats to get a more realistic wood grain appearance. If style and material are a top priority, consider ordering free samples to see and feel for yourself.
