Faux wood blinds look just like hardwood blinds but at a lower price point. Faux wood blinds are made of vinyl or a combination of wood and vinyl and they work well in any area with high humidity, such as kitchens and bathrooms without warping as a hardwood blind may do. This type of blind will not bow, fade, crack or warp in the bright sunlight coming form your windows. Most faux wood blinds include a sleek crown valance that hides the stack of your blinds where they rest when they are fully opened.
