In general, faux wood blinds cost 15% to 25% less than real wood blinds. The PVC/vinyl material that faux wood blinds are made from is less expensive than wood material, resulting in a more cost-friendly, beautiful blind that looks just like wood.

The classic look of faux wood blinds work in almost any setting. However, their moisture resistance makes them best suited to high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens. They can stand some of life's toughest accidents and spills, and won't get stained the way other fabric window treatments might.

Faux wood blinds are some of the toughest blinds around. Since they can stand up to high heat without warping or bending, and are also resistant to water, they will hold their beauty much longer than wood blinds. They even stand up to wet conditions and humidity, which are the worst enemies of a wood blind.
