Faux wood blinds have gained major popularity as a convincing alternative to solid wood in recent years. Faux wood blinds are made up of either vinyl/PVC or composite wood material. The fact that they efficiently mimic the exotic appeal of natural hardwood at a fraction of the price is what makes them a favorite among homeowners. Here are a few of the major benefits of faux wood blinds that rank them above the practicality and functionality of real wood blinds.
The Price Factor
The reasonable and affordable pricing of faux woods make it a great option for all homeowners. Faux wood blinds can give you that high-end look while staying within your budget.
Moisture and Temperature Resistance
Since faux wood are made of vinyl or PVC, they are far more resistant to environmental humidity and temperature changes than real wood. Wooden blinds have a major drawback in terms of their rapid reaction to moisture, which often causes the surface to swell, expand, or lose its shape. With regular wear and tear, the protective polish of the real wood blinds fades.
Care and Maintenance
Real wood blinds require special care for cleaning and maintenance. On the other hand, faux wood blinds are made from material that can easily be wiped down and cleaned, all without causing any harm to the finish.
Durability and Strength
Fauxs are tougher and more durable than their natural wood counterparts.
Eco-Friendliness
Unlike natural hardwood that is derived by cutting down trees, faux wood blinds are composed of synthetic materials that majorly contribute to conserving the environment. The fact that these blinds are recyclable also contribute to a considerable reduction of end-of-cycle refuse collecting in landfills.
