Why Faux Wood Blinds Are the Smart Choice for Every Home
Homeowners everywhere are opting for faux wood blinds over real wood and it’s no wonder why! These window treatments offer the authentic beauty and warmth of real hardwood wood and its durability, moisture resistance, and durability are better than that of the natural hardwood. Here’s what sets them apart:
Moisture-Resistant & Built for High-Humidity Rooms
Real wood warps. Faux wood doesn’t. Fabricated from composite PVC material that is weather and water resistant, for use in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and basements. Just clean them with a moist cloth; no special treatment is required, no warping or cracking. After day 1000, they’re no different than they were after day 1.
The Look of Real Wood at a Fraction of the Cost
Faux wood blinds are no longer faux. Today’s finishes are available in smooth whites, warm neutrals and rich wood-tone stains and are virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Whether you want to match your trim, flooring or cabinets, our colour and finish selection will help you to do it with confidence, from modern farmhouse to modern coastal or traditional.

Child-Safe Cordless Lift System – Peace of Mind Built In
Faux wood blinds in all our collections feature a cordless lift. Dangling cords? No, and they are much cleaner and modern on your windows, and are safer in homes with young children and pets. Push or pull to move them up or down. No cords. No tangles. No worries.
Choosing the Right Slat Size: 2″ vs. 2½”
Slat size will impact the look and light control of your blinds. The following is a brief tutorial:
- 2″ slats — The most popular size. Perfect for standard windows, provides a clean and classic window appearance, good light control and privacy. Ideal for bedrooms, living rooms and offices.
- 2½” slats — Slightly wider and bolder. These feature a more plantation-inspired look and look great on bigger windows. Great for those who want to create a statement without the excessive line of slats in their sight.
We have all the products made in two slats widths which you can select according to the style you want in your home.

Nowadays more and more people give their preference to faux blinds. And, it is not a surprise because they have many advantages over other types of window blinds. Here are the benefits of faux wood blinds:
- Lasting durability. Faux blinds are manufactured from a composite PVC allowing the blinds to stand up to tear and everyday wear. They don’t fade, chip or crack. They are also moist-resistant which makes them perfect for humid environments.
- The Beauty of wood. Textured or smooth finishes available in a variety of colors make faux blinds look like genuine wood. Easy maintenance. Whether you buy faux wood plantation blinds or traditional ones, they won’t make you work hard to maintain their fresh look. Faux blinds are easy to clean and manage. They can be wiped or rinsed with a hose since they are resistant to water.
- Recyclable and environmentally-friendly. By purchasing faux blinds, you are contributing to a reduction of the amount of trees that get cut down. To make even more eco-friendly decision, you can buy recycled blinds.
- Lower cost. Faux wood blinds are more affordable and economical than wood blinds. So, if you are on a tight budget, these window treatments will be your perfect choice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Faux Wood Blinds
Q: Are faux wood blinds good for bathrooms?
Yes – faux wood blinds are ideal for bathrooms. They are made of a composite PVC material which is resistant to moisture, steam and humidity, which would lead to warping and cracking of real wood blinds over time.
Q: How do I clean faux wood blinds?
Regularly clean the slats with a moist microfibre cloth or sponge. They can be taken out and solvently rinsed for deeper cleaning. Special cleaning products are not required.
Q: Are cordless faux wood blinds safe for children?
Absolutely. One of the biggest dangers for young children and pets is hanging cords, which are avoided with our cordless lift system. They comply with the present day child safety requirements and are highly recommended for family houses.
Q: How long do faux wood blinds last?
With normal use and basic maintenance, quality faux wood blinds can last 7–10+ years. They resist fading, cracking, and warping which makes them generally outlast natural wood blinds in humid and damp settings.
Q: Can faux wood blinds be installed in large windows?
Yes, but for windows wider than 72 inches we recommend splitting into two panels on a single headrail. This will make the blinds easier to operate and will prevent bowing.
Q: What's the difference between the 2" Value and 2" Perfect collections?
For renters, secondary rooms, and budget minded projects, our Value line is a great entry level faux wood blind at an unbeatable price point.
