Faux Wood Blinds are Resistant to Humid Conditions

Traditional wood blinds provide unparalleled warmth and ambiance to any home, but they can warp and distort under humid conditions. Faux wood blinds, however, provide the same traditional look while resisting moisture from purified water and maintaining their shape over time. Although both types of faux wood blinds resist warping, you'll need to weigh the differences in order to determine which kind would best suit your needs.

Composite faux wood blinds combine PVC with wood pulp, blending moisture resistance with light weight fibers. Although this faux wood blind is the lighter of the two kinds, it does contain natural wood and is therefore vulnerable to change under extremely moist conditions. Composite faux wood blinds do resist warping but they are not immune to it. These faux wood blinds are light enough to function much like traditional wood blinds, and can be used in kitchens and humid areas without a problem.

If you want the look of wood blinds in a very humid, high traffic environment like bathrooms or game rooms, you may want to consider the extruded PVC faux wood blinds. Although these blinds are heavier than the composite faux wood blinds, they are extremely durable and do not warp or change at all over time.

The added weight of PVC means that these blinds require more ladders and strings to support them, but they still resemble the rugged elegance of traditional wood blinds.
