The same lavish look of real wood but faux wood blinds come at significantly less cost. Manufactured from synthetic material fauxwood window blinds do not warp, crack or split even in high humidity. This means they are perfect for the bathroom, kitchen and laundry area - or the beach house because they also stand up to extreme changes in temperature.
The best faux blinds have the appearance and feel of wooden blinds but are more durable and easier to maintain. Watch out for cheap foam versions with inferior components and headrails since they will sag and quickly loose their beauty.
Find excellent products that are constructed from vinyl or a polywood composite such as PVC mixed with wood pulp - this makes them heavier and more flexible than natural hardwoods. Because of the weight of the polymers, extra ladders are necessary for support and the view outside is somewhat affected.
A faux wood blind not only stands up to humid conditions it continues to be beautiful under direct sunlight due to UV inhibitors that are part of construction. Soil and dust resistant finishes make maintenance simple.
Faux wood mini blinds provide good insulation, ultra violet protection and sound absorption. Use partially open blinds to filter light or close them for complete privacy and room darkening.
