Problem
Real wood blinds can warp or yellow in damp rooms, and thin aluminum or vinyl blinds dent and look tired quickly. Kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms need something tougher.
How faux wood blinds help
Faux wood slats are made from a composite that does not absorb moisture. You get the proportions and finish of a wood blind, precise tilt control, and a surface you can wipe down.

Faux Wood Blinds FAQ
How is faux wood different from real wood?
Faux wood is heavier and more moisture resistant, and usually costs less. Real wood is lighter, which matters on very wide windows, and has natural grain.
Will the slats sag on a wide window?
Very wide windows are often split into two or three blinds on one headrail so the slats stay straight and the blind stays easy to lift.
Are cordless versions available?
Yes. Cordless lift is a popular choice and is the safer option for homes with children and pets.
Are faux wood blinds a good choice for Florida humidity?
Yes. The composite slats do not absorb moisture, so they stay straight and keep their color in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms that steam up every day.
