The
Beauty of Wood Blinds
There is a certain look of warmth that only real wood can
provide and it is this reason why many people
love the look of wood window blinds.
The popularity of real wood window
blinds is also because of their functionality
and durability. Wood, such as red, white, and
golden oak, Brazilian Cherry, cherry, and ash
are some of the types of wood which is often
used in the manufacturing of wood window
blinds.
Wood window blinds can be fashioned with either manual or
motorized operations depending on which you,
the customer prefers.
In addition, they are available in
standard sizes as well as sizes ranging from
six inch width to 120 inch widths. As for the
width of the slats of wood window blinds, the
can range from 25 mm upwards.
Typically, we often see wood window blinds in
either vertical and horizontal blinds set in
rectangular or square window frames.
However, what many people do not
understand is that wood window blinds can be
custom ordered in some special shapes. So, if
you have arches, circles and even some very odd
shaped, you can special order wood window
blinds to cover these unique windows.
It is a fact that you will
pay more for wood window blinds, with some
brands being very expensive due to the high
cost of wood used in their manufacturing.
Another disadvantage of wood blinds is that
they can not be installed in high humidity
areas of your home.
These areas include the kitchen, and
bathrooms.
This is because increased humidity can
cause your wood blinds to warp.
However, many manufactures of wood
blinds also produce composite blinds which
closely resemble their wood counterparts.
These faux wood window blinds are
perfect for such high moisture areas like
bathrooms, garages, laundry rooms and the like.
With this option, it’s easy to have
matching window blinds throughout your home.
