Faux Wood Blinds
Looks like wood, costs less, and won't warp in your bathroom or kitchen—the smart choice.
What Are Faux Wood Blinds?
Faux wood blinds are made from composite material (basically PVC) that's painted to look like real wood. From a few feet away, most people can't tell the difference. They cost less than real wood and work way better in damp areas.
Real wood blinds can warp if they get wet or if there's a lot of humidity. Faux wood doesn't care—you can use them in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, anywhere. For a full breakdown of when shutters or blinds make more sense, see our shutters vs. blinds comparison.
