Wood Blinds Vs. Faux Wood Blinds

I get asked all the time this question: What is the difference between wood and faux wood blinds?

So, here is the answer!

Wood Blinds

• Look and feel like real wood. Stains showcase the wood grain texture in the blinds.
• Lighter than faux wood blinds. This is important for larger window blinds. Lighter blinds are easier to raise and last longer.
• Wood blinds have a wide selection of sizes, colors and stainsWood blinds are more expensive but a majority of realtors agree that real wood blinds can increase the resell value of a home.

Faux Wood Blinds

• Made from synthetic materials so they are less expensive than real wood blinds.
• More durable. Faux wood blinds are perfect for homes with active children and/or pets.
• Resist moisture. Faux wood blinds are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens where they will be exposed to moisture and steam.
• Easy to clean. Because faux wood blinds can get wet they are easy to wipe down with a wet cloth.
• Faux wood has a limited color selection compared to wood blinds.
  Less Expensive then Wood Blinds.

They are both great blinds, but it's really a personal choice on what you want. Most people can't tell the difference between the two, especially from a distance.
