Faux Wood Venetian Blinds FAQ
What are faux wood blinds made from?
Faux wood Venetian blinds are made of various composite materials including vinyl and PVC. This makes them extremely long lasting. If you buy from a quality supplier, faux wood Venetian blinds can be visually very similar real wooden blinds, despite the difference in materials. They also tend to come at a lower cost, meaning you get the look you want for less. In addition, the fact that materials such as PVC are moisture-resistant also makes them easier to clean.
Real wood or faux wood blinds – which is better?
This is a difficult question, but it’s one that most people considering faux wood Venetian blinds will ask themselves! There’s no easy answer, however. It really depends on your individual circumstances. For instance, factors such as which room you are installing them in will make a big difference. Let’s look at some points of comparison and help you to decide which will suit you best.
Real wood blinds are thinner than faux wood blinds and come in more natural wood tones. They are understandably coveted because of the classic look they provide. On the other hand, faux wood blinds can be made wider and are more durable. This means they can be suited to a wide range of window shapes and sizes. They are also likely better suited for spaces where durability is a major issue, such as in the workplace.
Due to the cost of the material, faux wood Venetian blinds are usually a cheaper option. This is perfect if you are on a budget but don’t want to compromise on durability or style.
To assess which is better for you, you must first determine which room your blind will be installed in. If the Venetian blind is installed in a bathroom or kitchen where humidity is likely, a faux wood blind will be better because it is moisture resistant.
If you’re installing it in a living room or bedroom, you can use either faux or real wood. We also recommend faux wood blinds if you are specifically looking for white or grey painted slats. Choosing a pained wood slat reduces the visibility of the grain. Therefore, we recommend that you choose faux wood Venetian blinds, as they are cost effective and more hard-wearing.
