Choosing Wood, Faux Wood, or Metal Window Blinds

Anyone shopping for window blinds near Dallas, Texas, will want to compare options made from wood, faux wood, or metal. Each material has characteristics that make it suitable for different aesthetics and purposes. Advantage Blinds carries a wide selection of Hunter Douglas blinds and can help you decide which blinds best suit your needs.

Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds Near Dallas, Texas (TX)

Wood Blinds are Substantial and Durable

Wood blinds give your home and windows a natural appearance. This can lend richness and sophistication to your decor. They have a more permanent feel and can even look like they’re built into window structures. Wood blinds come in substantial materials, with enough flexibility to adjust according to your preferences. You can open and close them easily with several customizable closure options.

Hunter Douglas Parkland® Wood Blinds come from responsibly managed forests. They are available in 2" or 2½" slat sizes and more than 50 durable paint and stain finishes that retain their color over time. There are some variations in wood grain patterns since these are natural products. You can dust wood blinds and then clean them with a damp cloth and wood cleaner.

Faux Wood Blinds Look Like the Real Thing

Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds are a less expensive alternative to natural wood blinds and look very close to the real thing. Made from polystyrene in the same slat sizes as Parkland®, they are also moisture-resistant and guaranteed against:

  • Bowing
  • Fading
  • Warping
  • Yellowing

This makes them an excellent choice for kitchens and bathrooms. EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds come in more than 50 colors, ranging from 984 Extreme White - Distinctions™ to 966 Class Mahogany - TruGrain®. These products are also certified with GREENGUARD and can include the de-Light™ feature or LiteRise® cordless lift system. Dust your faux wood blinds and clean them with non-abrasive products.

Quality Metal Blinds are Durable

Metal blinds resist moisture and water and work well in rooms with higher humidity. Well-made ones like Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds are a good, cost-effective choice if you’re leaning toward this material. They’re sold in colors for every decor, with flat or glossy finishes. We recommend these aluminum blinds to clients looking for sleek, streamlined window coverings.

Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds have slat sizes of ½", 1", and 2". You can upgrade them with cutouts for door handles and decorative tape. To clean them, wipe the surfaces down with a dustcloth and wash them as needed with a dampened microfiber cloth.
