Choosing Faux Wood Blinds
If you’ve been looking for wood window treatments and have only focused on genuine wood, you’re missing out on some incredible alternatives in the form of faux wood. While genuine wood is appealing, in some cases, it just won’t work for the window, making faux actually the better choice overall. At Altra Home Décor serving the greater Phoenix area, we carry the full line of Hunter Douglas window fashions, including some fantastic faux wood blinds that could be just the solution for you. Read on to learn more, and be sure to speak with one of our consultants to determine if they’re right for you.
Benefits of Faux Over Genuine Wood
Even if you love the look and style of genuine wood, in fact, it isn’t necessarily right for all situations. For example, hanging in south-facing windows that can get hot and pelted by intense sunlight or in windows in humid rooms like a bathroom or kitchen can decrease the lifespan of genuine wood. Conversely, faux wood, which is lighter than genuine wood, can withstand the elements and is guaranteed not to warp, crack, or peel, even in some of those tougher window locations.
Faux Wood From Hunter Douglas
One of the best faux wood products, Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds are made for both durability and style. They can resist bowing, warping, fading, and yellowing, and they’re great for high-traffic, high-touch areas, like sliding glass doors and in kids’ rooms. Plus, they’re easy to clean—simply dust the slats with a soft cloth or use the brush attachment on your vacuum. Choosing 2″ blinds will help maintain your view-through, so if you’re looking to preserve your panorama, this could be the route to go. Finally, these blinds are available in over 50 colorways, making them a great choice to complement any décor.
Operating Systems
Everwood works with three pet- and child-safe operating systems: LiteRise®, SimpleLift™, and PowerView® Automation. PowerView is the cream of the crop when it comes to operating systems; it adds greater flexibility in your control of your window treatments, convenience, and a level of security. Plus, it can be integrated into your whole-home automation system for streamlined use.

All Hunter Douglas products are designed and custom-assembled in the United States. As a Hunter Douglas dealer, we’ve continued the tradition they started more than 60 years ago to provide industry-leading innovation and design, an extensive portfolio of window fashions constructed from highest quality materials, and superior customer service.
