Lighter & Easier to Operate Unlike heavy faux wood alternatives, real wood blinds are remarkably lightweight. This makes them the superior choice for larger, wider windows, as they are much easier to lift and put less strain on the operating mechanisms. You get the grand look you want without the heavy lifting.

FAQ
Can I put these in my bathroom?
We do not recommend real wood blinds for bathrooms or high-humidity areas, as moisture can cause the slats to warp or the finish to peel. For these rooms, we recommend our moisture-resistant Faux Wood Blinds, which offer the same look but are 100% waterproof.
Why choose real wood over faux wood?
-
Two main reasons: Weight and Color. Real wood is significantly lighter, making it much easier to raise and lower on large windows. Also, if you want a stained wood look (like oak, cherry, or walnut) to match your furniture, real wood offers the most authentic grain patterns.
