Wood blinds are attractive and durable but can be affected by temperature changes. This type of window treatment can fade, peel, and discolor over time when exposed to sunlight and heat. They are also not suitable for rooms with high humidity.
In contrast, faux wood blinds have a similar appearance, but they are not just an exact replica. These window treatments are moisture resistant and withstand fading and peeling when exposed to sunlight. UV inhibitors in the slats protect against color changes. The polymer slats are also moisture resistant, which keeps your faux wood blinds looking great even in humid conditions.
Wood blinds are actually the better choice for windows where direct sunlight creates an excessive amount of heat on the interior side of the window, since excessive or extreme heat can adversely affect faux wood slats.
