Wood and Faux Wood Blinds
Wood blinds are a popular option for anybody who wants to give their home an elegant and natural touch. Wood blinds have a wide range of slat sizes from 1” to 2 ½” and come in a variety of stained and painted finishes. They are easy to install and easy to keep clean since the slats can be wiped clean with a rag or duster. In our dry climate, real wood blinds require a little TLC to maintain their longevity and can warp or crack if they are not cared for properly.

virtually maintenance free. Usually less expensive than wood blinds, faux wood blinds comes in a wide variety of wood tones and colors.
In most cases, wood and faux wood blinds are mounted inside of your window frame and finished with a decorative valance.
