About faux blinds

Faux blinds appeal to many consumers because they are easy to maintain, do not warp, crack or chip, look like wood but are cheaper, are made from wood pulp & PVC, or PVC and are heavier than wood.

Discount faux wood blinds are available at a variety of stores in 2-inch and 2 1/2-inch slat sizes. Although they come in a limited range of colors and wood tones, you can paint them to match any décor.

Faux blinds also come in decorative woven cloth tapes with several valance and cornice options. The faux slats are available in a variety of shapes including the usual flat, beveled, crown (arched), S-curve and interlocking design.

Faux blinds are excellent blinds in high humidity. They won’t crack, split or warp. Discount faux wood blinds also have UV inhibitors to help protect the finish. Use them with confidence in bathrooms, kitchens, kid’s playrooms, garages and sunrooms.
