Faux Wood Blinds Make For Great Windows

Wooden blinds are a beautiful and irreplaceable addition to any home décor. They can greatly increase the value of a home, as well. However, real wood is expensive. Not only expensive, but difficult to care for. Wood can only handle delicate cleaning, and is easily warped under humidity. But don’t be discouraged. Faux wood blinds are an incredible alternative. Due to today’s technology, faux wood window blinds made of PVC and a wood composite are inexpensive and practical. Cleaning detergents are good to go, and moisture won’t warp them. And they’re just as beautiful.

If you want to save even more money, then you can try to shop for cheap faux wood blinds at a discount vendor. Always be cautious, of course. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Make sure you dealer is trustworthy and has a good reputation. Check out tips on shopping at discount dealers without getting ripped off.

It’s also important to remember that when you look at the selection of discount faux wood blinds, you’re seeing only a fraction of what is available on the market. Discounters have certain popular stock that will sell easily to small retailers…and people like you and me. If you’re looking for something very specific, you might have to move away from the discount vendors. However, custom faux wood blinds are still an option. Some discount dealers will custom cut their blinds to fit any window you have; large, small, and odd shapes, like arches and circles.

The typical blind size is 2 inches. That means your blinds’ slats are two inches wide. 2 inch faux wood blinds are easy to buy, pretty much anywhere, since it’s standard and popular. 1 inch faux wood blinds might be more difficult to come by. The thinner slats are stylish, interesting, and perhaps a little more expensive. These faux wood mini blinds add another dimension of class to your window design. If you can find them for a price you’ll pay, of course.

While horizontal blinds are the most common for wood, you can find faux wood vertical blinds as well. Plastic or vinyl vertical blinds are not attached at the bottom, which is not safe or advisable for wood blinds. Your vertical wood blinds will most likely be connected at both top and bottom. It’s a look with lots of character.
