The Benefits of Alternative Wood Blinds near Billings, MT
Barry Allsop • November 9, 2020
Wood blinds are a classic window treatment, perfect for bringing natural warmth inside your home, but when you’re worried about whether or not 100% hardwood blinds will stand up to the test of time, alternative wood blinds are well worth your consideration. Alternative wood blinds are often made from a composite material, usually blending proprietary materials with wood for a more durable, robust result. At The Blind Guy, we proudly carry several brands that feature fantastic options for alternative wood blinds and faux wood blinds. These blinds are easy to clean—usually just requiring a quick wipe down—as well as make any room appear more finished and tied together with finishes similar to cabinetry, moldings, and other wooden fixtures. Let’s look closer at some of the fantastic alternative wood blinds we carry, and what makes them great.
EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds
These Hunter Douglas wood blinds are modeled after their Heritance® Wood Blinds but are built to withstand prolonged sun and moisture exposure. De-Light™ construction eliminates cord holes, sealing out more unwanted light than traditional blinds. They boast a superior view-through to the outside, so your window treatment doesn’t make your home feel closed off. Choose from several colors that mimic the natural character of wood. EverWood® finishing technology ensures your alternative wood blinds will never warp, fade, crack, or yellow, making them the perfect choice for bathrooms and sunrooms, as well as generally a solid option for locations with variable weather conditions like Montana. With PowerView® Automation, control your alternative wood blinds with a smartphone app, or even by using your voice through Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, or Google Assistant.
Alta Faux Wood Blinds
Alta Faux Wood Blinds boast quality on a budget that won’t break the bank. With Cordless Lift & Lock™, these alternative wood blinds are a safe option for homes with children or pets. Choose from both white and natural as well as wood tones that make it difficult to tell these aren’t 100% real hardwood. Mount multiple sets of blinds on one headrail for variable and highly adjustable lighting. Accentuate your faux wood blinds with decorative tapes for an even more customized experience. With RemoteTilt motorization, enjoy wireless control of your blinds from anywhere in your house –especially helpful for getting control of those hard to reach windows.
Graber Traditions® Composite Blinds
These moisture resistant blinds feature a unique polymer build designed to look brand new even against the elements. Choose between NoHoles™ and cloth tapes that eliminate cord holes that would otherwise let light seep into your room. Cloth tapes accentuate your faux wood blinds and ensure a tight seal on your blinds when they’re shut so that your privacy is protected. Traditions® features both wand and cord operations as well as hands-free motorization. Control your faux wood blinds with the touch of a button and enjoy sleek windows free from cords, batteries, and wires.
