Why Wood Blinds? - Learn About Their Exciting Features

If you want real wood blinds, you can choose VertiBlinds. These wooden blinds have 3.5 wood vanes that are 5 mm thick, which makes them very sturdy. They are available in white, off-white and four different stains of wood. The vanes in the blinds may vary in characteristics, which will add to the ambiance of your room. The vertical track for these blinds has an ivory head rail that is really easy to use.

One thing that you should know before you install blinds made of wood is that 5% warping of the vanes is normal and is not noticeable.

Faux wood blinds are just as good too

Enjoy the best of both worlds with faux wood blinds. These blinds have the look of wood, but are made from a synthetic material. If you want to have wood blinds in a bathroom or a room where there is high humidity, then the fauxwood blinds are what you should look at.

You will never have to worry about warping or cracking and they are extremely easy to care for. They darken a room just the same as wooden blinds. You can buy blinds made of faux wood that are made from solid vinyl or a combination of vinyl and wood.

Wood blinds are available as horizontal or Venetian style blinds. The slats come in a range of sizes - 1, 2 and 3 inches wide. There are also a range of valance styles you can choose from for your wooden or fauxwood blinds that will hide the blinds when you have them raised. When you have wooden blinds to your windows, you can choose to have them stained or unstained. They are usually made from Ramin wood or Bass wood. The decorative valances of both wood and faux wood blinds hide the head rail, so you don't need to have a valance covering the top part of the window.

Wood blinds also come with a no-holes option that will stop any light from coming into the room when you have them closed. This offers more insulation for your windows as well because it also stops cold drafts from coming through.

You can have wood blinds with motors that you operate with a remote control or you can use cords to raise and lower them. They are easy to clean and do not collect dust, so they will not add to your cleaning routine.
