Adding Alternative Wood Blinds to Homes
If you have ever been in a home with wood blinds, you know how beautiful and comforting they are. Whether you are in a rustic home or something modern, you immediately feel at ease when you see these gorgeous window treatments. Of course, genuine wood blinds might not be an option for everyone. Perhaps you don’t want to deal with the maintenance, or maybe you are worried about sun and humidity damaging them. If you have always wanted genuine wood blinds but prefer something a little more durable, then you are in the right place. Read on to learn more about adding alternative wood blinds to your home.
Custom Styles
If you are a little nervous about adding alternative wood blinds to your windows, we understand. If they look fake, you will not really want to show them off to anyone! Luckily, Hunter Douglas alternative wood blinds are specifically designed to look like the real thing. Available in a variety of colors and featuring some of the most realistic stain-like finishes in the window treatment industry, EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds look like the real thing without any of the upkeep or worry. Choose from popular colors like Weathered White, Chateau, Praline, and more to create a beautiful look at each window. If you are unsure which style fits best with your home, then our friendly team is here to help you find the perfect match!
Durability
Another one of the benefits of alternative wood blinds is durability. EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds let you enjoy the beauty of hardwood without any upkeep, which is perfect for low-maintenance homes or homes that have small children or heavy foot traffic. From humid weather to sun exposure, these blinds resist fading, yellowing, warping, and bowing. This makes them perfect for bathrooms and sunrooms. Not only that, but this makes these blinds safe if you want to open the windows in your Florida home.
Room Darkening
When we think of room-darkening window treatments, we often think of thick drapery or shades. However, Hunter Douglas understands that everyone should have access to room darkening when needed. That is why the available de-Light™ feature eliminates cord holes and reduces light leaks. This blocks 50 percent more light than a traditional wood blind offerings available at big box stores. This makes EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds excellent for bedrooms, media rooms, and other rooms that need a little more natural and artificial light blockage throughout the day and night.
