Are Faux Wood Blinds Better than Real Wood?

When it comes to choosing between faux wood blinds and real wood blinds, your decision should ultimately be based on your individual preference, although there are several factors which might make faux wood blinds a better option for your home.

Faux wood venetian blinds are generally more budget-friendly than real wood and are easy to clean and maintain. They are incredibly durable and moisture resistant too which makes them great as a kitchen wooden blind or bathroom wooden blind. However, you might find that real wood blinds provide a more authentic look and feel, are more lightweight, and naturally make for better insulators.

For more information, we cover all the pros and cons of both styles in our guide on Faux Wood Blinds vs Real Wood Blinds.

Do Faux Wood Blinds Warp?

One of the standout features of faux wood blinds is their exceptional durability. These wood effect blinds resist cracking, and fading, making them an ideal choice for high-moisture areas like kitchens, bathrooms and shower rooms. However, if you have a south-facing window or a space with excessive sunlight we would recommend a real wood blind, as PVC could eventually warp if exposed to high levels of heat over a long period of time.

Do Faux Wood Blinds Insulate?

As with any blind, faux wood blinds do provide a degree of insulation for your windows. While they may not offer the same level of insulation as our range of thermal blinds, they still contribute to maintaining indoor temperatures and improving energy efficiency. If you’re looking for extra heat retention, we recommend pairing your faux wood blind with our thermal curtains for an extra insulating layer.

Are Faux Wood Blinds Blackout?

Unfortunately, due to their design, no venetian blind can be made fully blackout. This is due to the through-string support cords and slats, as even when closed these will allow a small amount of light in. Although our range of faux wood blinds provide excellent light control, our range of blackout blinds may be more suitable if you are looking for total darkness in your room.

If you love the look of faux wood but need a blackout finish, pair your blinds with our made to measure blackout curtains.

How to Clean Faux Wood Blinds

Cleaning faux wood venetian blinds is simple thanks to their easy to maintain design. Simply dust down each slat as part of your regular cleaning routine to keep on top of dust. Moisture resistant, you can also use warm water and a gentle cleaning solution if they need a deeper clean. For more information, see our guide one How to Clean Wooden Blinds.

How to Measure for Faux Wood Blinds

How you measure for faux wood blinds will depend where you want to fit them. Our measuring guide details how to measure for fitting inside and outside the window recess.

How to Remove Faux Wood Blinds

To remove your faux wood blinds, you simply have to release them from the brackets. Before you do this, raise the blinds fully so the slats are all stacked at the top. Once stacked, find the brackets at the top or sides of the window frame and unclip the headrail. The brackets can be removed with a screwdriver or drill.

Are Faux Wood Blinds Expensive?

Faux wood blinds are actually an affordable alternative to real wood blinds. Depending on the style chosen, slat size, and window measurements entered the price of your blinds may vary. Premium options like our oak effect wooden blinds and faux wood blinds with tapes generally cost more due to their manufacturing time and materials used. At Unbeatable Blinds, we do our best to offer cheap faux wood blinds that don’t compromise on quality. Why not compare the price of blinds and see for yourself why we’re loved!
