Shopping for window treatments can be overwhelming for some people, especially when they’re faced with trying to understand the benefits of one type of material over another. And it’s made even worse when both materials are actually quite good. At Treasure Coast Window Fashions serving Jupiter, Florida, we help our customers sort through the features and benefits of all types of window fashions, materials, and systems, including helping them decide whether faux wood or genuine wood is right for their needs. Read on to get some tips on that!
When Is Faux Wood Better
The look and style of genuine wood is a draw for many people, but it actually isn’t right for all instances. South-facing windows, for example, which get a lot of direct sunlight, or rooms that are humid like bathrooms, aren’t great for genuine wood. In those cases, faux wood, which is lighter than genuine wood and can withstand the elements, might be a better option because it is guaranteed not to warp, crack, or peel.
Faux Wood Options
Hunter Douglas offers a variety of materials in window fashions, and for faux wood, one great choice is Everwood® Alternative Wood Blinds, which are designed for durability and style. They can resist warping, bowing, yellowing, and fading, and they are especially good for high-traffic areas, like sliders, patio doors, or kids’ rooms. Many of our customers like how easy they are to clean: just dust the slats with a soft cloth or use your vacuum’s brush attachment. The 2″ slats offer great view-through, so if you’re looking to preserve your panorama, this could be the route to go. Finally, these blinds are available in over 50 colorways, so they can complement any décor.
Lift Systems
Our customers often forget about the importance of the lift system, which can help determine how convenient your new window treatment is to operate. Everwood Alternative Wood Blinds are available with three pet- and child-safe operating systems: SimpleLift™, LiteRise®, and PowerView® Automation. PowerView is the best of the best when it comes to lift systems; it adds greater flexibility in how you control your window treatments, a goodly amount of convenience, and a new level of security. Plus, it can be integrated into your whole-home automation system for streamlined use.
