Advantages of Faux Wood Blinds

Wood blinds are a classic window treatments choice. They are durable, easy to use and attractive. They also go well with a wide variety of interior decors. But some people may not know that there are faux wood blinds that offer the same looks, functionality with increased durability at a reduced cost. Faux wood blinds have other distinct advantages.

First, a little background information, faux wood blinds come in two forms: composite wood and vinyl, a type of PVC plastic. The composite wood variety is made from a blend of real hardwoods and plastic polymers to form highly durable slats and other components that make up the blind. PVC blinds are made exclusively from a vinyl polymer.

In terms of weight, wood blinds are the lightest weights of the three, wood composites are the second lightest and vinyl blinds are the heaviest. This is an important consideration mostly when you are ordering fairly large blinds.

Vertical Blinds, Fabric Or PVC?

Filed under: PVC blinds, blinds, vertical blinds, vinyl blinds — Tags: , , , — admin @ 11:29 am

There are three main reasons for using vertical blinds. The first purpose is to serve as a lovely part of the decoration of your home. Vertical blinds can add an illuminated area of interest to a large portion of any room. The second is making the inside of your home more private and less visible to people outdoors. Lastly, blinds are employed to block sunlight from passing through a window and heating the room.

Vertical blinds help insulate a room from the excess heat caused by sunlight, thereby reducing the expense of providing additional air conditioning or ventilation. Although the vinyl blinds industry doesn’t want you to know it, blinds produced from polyester woven fabric are far superior to PVC-based vertical blinds insofar as blocking sunlight and heat coming into the room. Vertical blinds made of PVC do not block a significant amount of heat from entering the room. While they do provide some privacy, and reduce the amount of light entering through the window, PVC blinds louvers are not effective enough at keeping the heat out of a room to provide much in the way of energy savings. You will still find yourself having to air condition, or otherwise cool the room. Besides the heat which enters the room, there is also a less often considered, yet still significant, amount of ultraviolet or UV light that enters as well, which can be harmful in excess amounts.
