Fauxwood blinds offer you the best of both worlds when it comes to window treatments. With these blinds, you get a rich look of real wood but at a price up to 25% or more off the price for real wood. Fauxwood blinds are actually made from a synthetic type of material, which means maintenance and cleaning are a breeze. Instead of stressing over things like cracking, splitting, and warping associated with regular wood blinds, fauxwood blinds can easily handle high humidity or moisture content without damage.
Fauxwood blinds make the perfect window treatment solution for just about any room of the house. For instance, rooms such as the kitchen or bathroom with higher levels of humidity can now look just as beautiful as other rooms. You will also find fauxwood blinds looking stunning in a formal dining room, family room, child’s nursery, and so on. These blinds are available in vinyl or you can purchase them as a combination of wood and vinyl, which provides a little more strength. Keep in mind that some of the combination blinds will cost a little more than your straight vinyl fauxwood blinds but in certain situations, the investment is with it. Best of all, no one but you will know the fauxwood blinds are not real. People will be impressed by the rich, sophisticated wood, thinking you paid a fortune. Because these blinds handle high traffic areas so well, they are the perfect solution for today’s busy families. Many manufacturers of fauxwood blinds also provide three-inch valances along with trapezoid rails, meaning the bottom slats close tighter, a common problem seen with other types of blinds. In addition to looking better, this benefit also provides better closure so cold or heat stays out, as well as light. Remember that wood is a natural stiffener, which means blinds made from wood need fewer supporting strings. With fauxwood blinds, you will find that many manufacturers use cloth tapes, which come in various colors that can match the wood tone or complement it for a creative flair. Of all types of blinds, we are now seeing an increase in popularity when it comes to fauxwood blinds. With wood being a favorite but also an expensive one, we also see people looking for alternatives, which is why fauxwood blinds are now such a great solution. In fact, one of the high sellers is the two-inch fauxwood blinds, which look amazingly real. With this, the slats are not too large or too small, making them elegant and classy. Another huge benefit to fauxwood blinds is that if you have smaller children and/or pets, then you know accidents can happen. Typically, metal blinds become bent and wood blinds become scratched. However, with fauxwood blinds, you have durability, strength, and style all in one, affordable package – it does not get any better than that.
