When shopping for custom window treatments you may find yourself in a situation where you are choosing between real wood or faux wood styles. Between the two styles, product cost plays a big factor in deciding whether you go with one over the other. Window coverings that use real wood tend to be within a higher price range than those using faux wood. But some homeowners still prefer real hard wood over faux wood for its authenticity and beauty.
Although real wooden blinds are more expensive, they are popular for their elegance and beauty. Faux-wood and vinyl blinds are popular alternatives to real wood blinds. With advancements in construction and material engineering, faux wood blinds are now nearly identical to real wood blinds and offer the same and sometimes even more, customization.
It is important to note that fluctuations in temperature, humidity and direct sun exposure have the potential to cause warping and even cracks in low quality wood window fashions. Shutters Etc only carries wooden blinds that are protected with a UV guard stain to prevent long term sun damage. Faux wood shutters are a great alternative as well due to their weather resistant composition.
Most of our faux wood blinds also feature UV protection, realistic grain finishes and various louver sizes ensuring your window covers are as amazing looking as they are durable. They’re perfect for the bathroom or kitchen!
