Wood vs. Faux Wood Blinds

When comparing wood vs. faux wood blinds, we can see there are differences, but there are also many similarities, and a clear understanding of both can help homeowners find the best set of Hunter Douglas blinds for their Georgia home.

Different Materials

Obviously, the biggest difference we see when looking at wood vs. faux wood blinds is the material. Hunter Douglas wood blinds use genuine hardwood as the base material, while faux wood blinds feature composite materials engineered with durability in mind. EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds, for example, have Performance Plus™ Protection that safeguards your blinds against discoloration or deformation due to heat, UV, or moisture for the life of the window treatment.

Same Style

With a similar construction, both wood blinds and faux wood blinds for windows have the same classic style with strong horizontal lines that create a clean and authoritative look. Both wood and faux wood blinds by Hunter Douglas come in numerous finishes, including wood tones and solid neutral paint hues, and homeowners can choose from different vane sizes to create a more traditional or modern look. Both wood and faux wood blinds can be fit to numerous specialty window shapes (arches, angles, bay & corner windows, and cut-outs) or be fit to cover French doors.

Different Costs

Like all window treatments, the costs of different models vary; this is true for the different styles of Venetian blinds as well. For cost-conscious homeowners, faux wood blinds for windows offer a cost-friendly option that still has the performance and style of more expensive models.

Same Operational Systems

Both wood and faux wood blinds for windows by Hunter Douglas are available with a selection of operating systems to suit the different needs of Georgia households, from child-safe options to motorization.
