Real Wood vs. 2 inch Faux Wood Blinds: The Real Winner
Wood blinds have a sense of prestige and luxury primarily based on price. Two inch faux wood blinds, such as Everwood 2" blinds are the next big thing. So what differences do these have other than the obvious materials in which they are made with? How do you know what to choose for your home? Real wood differs from faux by material, cost and functions.
Hunter Douglas' Everwood 2" blinds are by far very handsome and can accommodate any room in need of privacy and luxurious décor and still provide the right amount of light and durability.
 Faux wood comes from materials that are eco friendly or renewable sources which is great especially if the components can be recycled or reused.
Wood blinds give a luxurious feel to a room by the way that they look and perhaps just the thought of having real wood. Wood blinds can also be much higher in price range, taking in note the wood work, the permits needed to take the wood to begin with and even the cost of transferring from lumberjack to manufacturer plus the processing of the wood. Faux wood is made to look like real wood, saving the lives of thousands of trees and fauna. Technology enables Hunter Douglas products to be able to reach a highly similar look and feel with a fraction of the price. They are available in vertical style, perfect for those big sliding doors and big windows. This enables the buyer to purchase at a more affordable price and the peace of mind.
A great feature from Hunter Douglas is the ease in which the customer can customize, from the easy to navigate website, their own blinds with up to 26 color combinations.
Two inch faux blinds as well as the real counterpart keep your house cooler by blocking light. Faux wood blinds however, have the advantages of reflecting light and are resistant to heat and moisture as well as humidity. This makes them perfect for those windows by the kitchen sink and bathroom. Homes that are located in extreme heat and humidity can benefit by not having to constantly replace wooden window treatments that can bow and mold and corrode. The reflecting property of the faux wood material not only keeps heat out but can help keep the cost of home cooling down. Their versatility makes them perfect for pool houses and patio doors. The functions seem to surpass the idea of luxury provided by the wood counterpart. Everwood 2" blinds are very easy to clean and maintain.
Faux wood blinds can be customized for different features and sizes. Some special features include how you open and close them. This may be motorized or manual. Motorized window treatments are controlled by a remote control or by a powered switch that is installed next to the window and looks much like a light switch. Having this modern feature is great around small children who can be endangered by cords. To also address this issue, some manual operated faux wood blinds have a continuous rotating cord that is attached to the wall, never leaving any loose cords for the endangerment of children.
Everwood 2" blinds, like the names implies, is like having wood but for a longer period of time due to their durability, resistance and easy to clean features.
