Why Wood & Faux Wood Blinds

Wood blinds bring the warmth of a shutter at a fraction of the cost, with the slat control a shutter also gives you. Real basswood is light, takes stain beautifully, and suits a room where the trim and the floor are already doing the talking.

Faux wood is the more practical sibling and, in this climate, usually the smarter buy. It will not warp, fade, or crack in direct desert sun, and it goes anywhere moisture lives. Modern faux wood is embossed and color-matched well enough that most people cannot tell the difference from across the room.

The honest guidance we give: use real wood where the window is shaded and the room is formal, and faux wood everywhere the sun actually hits. We have replaced too many sun-bleached real wood blinds on west elevations to recommend otherwise.

Questions

Questions about wood & faux wood blinds.

How long do custom blinds and shades last?

A long time, if the product suits the window. What shortens it here is sun. Real wood and vinyl on west-facing windows fade and turn brittle fastest, which is why we put faux wood blinds and composite shutters where the sun hits: both hold up to direct sun without warping or cracking. A cordless shade's spring eventually wears out. Shutters last longest: on a hard west wall, a shutter still looks right in fifteen years when a fabric shade would have been replaced twice.

Are motorized shades safe for children and pets?

Motorized and cordless shades remove the cords a child or a pet could reach. Roller shades come cordless or motorized, cordless lift is available on wood and faux wood blinds and on roman shades, and shutters have no cords at all. If you have little ones or pets at home, tell us at the consult and we will steer every window toward cordless or motorized options.

How do I clean and maintain my window treatments?

Dust is the main thing in this valley: fine desert dust settles on slats and works its way into headrails. Dust or vacuum with a soft brush regularly, and check the maker's care instructions before using anything wet on fabric. Blinds wipe clean, and vertical blinds shed dust rather than collecting it. If a cordless cellular shade starts drifting down, a two-minute reset usually fixes it, and a cracked blind slat takes about fifteen minutes to replace.

How long does it take to receive and install custom shades?

3–5 weeks for blinds and shades, 6–10 weeks for shutters, counted from the day you order. Motorized products take about a week longer. Your lead time is written on your quote, so you know before you say yes. Need privacy sooner? We put up temporary shades for free while you wait. On install day we install, walk through every window with you, clean up, and haul your old blinds away free.
