For those who want the warm look of wood at a more affordable price, faux wood blinds are a convincing choice to create classic style. They are also good for use in areas with more moisture, such as a bathroom or basement. They are bit heavier, so are not as ideal if you plan to raise or lower them regularly.

Composite wood blinds feature the look of natural wood, but they are easier to clean and the most durable. Covered by a lifetime warranty, they are designed to take a lot of wear and tear, including moisture and being in direct sunlight daily. These are also heavier blinds, so they work best when left in one position with the slats being the primary mode of operation.
