What’s the difference between composite, faux wood, and wood blinds?
1. **Wood Blinds**:
- Crafted from genuine wood, providing a warm and natural look.
- Offered in a variety of stains and finishes.
- Usually pricier than their faux counterparts.
- Lightweight and long-lasting but may warp or fade when exposed to high humidity.
2. **Faux Wood Blinds**:
- Made from synthetic materials designed to replicate the look of real wood.
- More budget-friendly than real wood blinds and often more resilient.
- Resistant to moisture and humidity, making them an ideal choice for bathrooms and kitchens.
- Available in a wide range of colors and styles, often featuring a wood-like finish.
3. **Composite Blinds**:
- Similar to faux wood but typically constructed from a blend of materials like PVC and other composites.
- Built to be more durable and less prone to warping or fading compared to wood.
- Generally heavier than faux wood blinds but still a great option for areas with high moisture.
