Reasons to Consider Faux Wood Blinds
If you’re looking to upgrade the blinds in your home or simply need window treatments for a new home, there’s a lot to think about during this process whether it’s your budget, style, or anything else.
One option you should consider is faux wood blinds. They look like natural wood but are instead made of either a composite wood material or a PVC/vinyl material and come with a large variety of benefits.
Here are some reasons why you should consider faux wood blinds:
- Affordable
- Energy Efficient
- Privacy
- Durability
- Customization

Affordable
Faux wood blinds give you the appearance of the real thing without the high price tag. Depending on the size and quality, real wood blinds can cost hundreds of dollars more than faux wood blinds, which quickly adds up if you’re looking to cover a large area. The average cost of faux wood blinds ranges from $30 to $125 per window for pre-made blinds while custom blinds range from $75 to $200.
Energy Efficient
As reported by the U.S. Department of Energy, 30% of a home’s heating is lost through windows. They’ve also found that in the summer months, about 76% of the sunlight that falls on standard double-pane windows enters to become heat. Without the proper coverage, this can cause your air conditioning bill to go up as your system has to work harder to keep the air cool. Faux wood blinds allow you to properly block UV rays and reduce the amount of heat entering your home.
Privacy
Unlike generic blinds which can be thin and have spaces in-between them, all of the gaps between slats are fully closed and keep people from being able to see inside your home. During the day, you can open them slightly to allow the light in while still maintaining a high level of privacy.
Durability
As they’re made of synthetic materials, faux blinds can withstand humid conditions in places like bathrooms or kitchens better than real wood. Their high durability will also keep them from warping, cracking, or fading over time. Typically, faux blinds last between five and seven years and don’t easily break as generic plastic blinds do.
Customization
Faux blinds allow you to pick a variety of colors and styles that best suit your home. You can opt for colors like brown or dark gray that more closely resemble real wood or solid white to add some contrast. There’s also a variety of ways to customize them further. With a cordless lift, this feature eliminates the need for any extra cords as you’ll be able to easily raise or lower them by hand. You can also consider things like having rounded corners on your blinds, using cloth tapes for an extra pop of color, or adding valances to accept the top of your window.
