Do you know the differences between wood blinds and faux wood blinds? By delving deeper into the nuances of each, it is simple to pick the right window solution for any space in your home. And Budget Blinds of Long Branch is here to help!
With the endless possibilities of blinds that we carry, narrowing down your focus is essential to elevate your home. Although wood blinds are always in style, there are certain spaces that faux wood blinds are better suited for. Our design pros can make the process simple, especially if this is your first foray into wood and faux wood blinds.
One of the most important things to consider when making a decision is the room and functionality of the space. Is this a room with high humidity? Wood blinds are not the right choice as moisture isn’t good for wood for extended periods. Instead, select faux wood blinds for any space that has lots of humidity or water as they won’t fade or warp. For bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens, faux wood blinds are the right choice.
Let’s explore wood blinds. Their rich and iconic vibe is a hit with any design style. Always versatile, wood blinds are timeless and pair well with wood furniture and trim. The styles and finishes are endless so you’ll have lots of options to choose from. Wood blinds are an investment in your home and elevate any space from ordinary to extraordinary. Wood blinds give you complete control over light as well as privacy. Sourced from 100% North American hardwoods from certified and domestic forests, we’re proud to offer products that help sustain our natural resources.
Natural insulation is a major benefit of these window treatments in Ocean Grove. In the colder months, wood blinds will mitigate drafts from entering via windows. In the warm months, wood blinds stop heat gain as well as protect your home’s contents from the sun’s UV rays.
Let’s talk about faux wood blinds. These window treatments in Ocean Grove look and feel like real wood but they’re created of polymer materials, which gives them the feel and aesthetic of real wood at a reasonable cost. We carry a full line of faux wood blinds so it is easy to find a wood grain, white or neutral to go with any decor. Made with UVA inhibitors, faux wood blinds won’t yellow over time. For convenience, you can select motorless or Remote Tilt motorization, making them a very safe option for homes with young children and pets.
