Wood or Faux Wood Blinds?

By Susie Lezell

Wood and faux wood blinds are both beautiful window fashions. Sometimes, it’s hard to know which will be better for your particular need. At Windows, Walls & More, we’ve been helping people throughout the Bloomfield Hills area select the perfect window blinds since 1977. Stop by our window blinds store for a free consultation!

First, let’s look at how wood blinds and faux blinds are similar. Aesthetically, both types of blinds will complement any decor. Wood and faux blinds are constructed similarly using string ladders. Both are available in a variety of slat sizes with traditional lifting and tilting systems. Some styles offer cordless or motorized lifting system for added safety and convenience.

Real Wood Blinds

The most obvious advantage of real wood blinds is that are made of real wood! This gives them the look, feel, and quality of real wood products.

Advantages:

  • Available in 1 3/8”, 2” & 2 ½” slat sizes
  • Available in numerous colors and stains
  • Stained slats highlight natural grains
  • 50% lighter than faux wood blinds which makes them easier to raise and lower
  • Can be manufactured to accommodate larger windows
  • Optional routless slat construction to eliminate light leakage
  • Available with decorative tapes
  • Perceived to have a more high-end look

Disadvantages

  • Not recommended for rooms with high moisture – wood can warp
  • Not as sturdy around children or pets
  • Cost is about 30% higher than faux wood

Faux Wood Blinds

Durable and affordable, faux wood blinds give you the best of both worlds. They are typically made of PVC, PVC composite or wood and vinyl combination.

Advantages

  • Available in 2” slat size
  • Available in different colors & stains
  • Durable and slats usually bounce back and don’t warp
  • Great for rooms with high moisture
  • Built to not crack, chip, peel, warp or bowing
  • Easy to clean with a wet cloth
  • Less expensive than real wood

Disadvantages

  • Heavier than wood
  • Size limitations for large windows
