2" Faux Wood Blinds
The warmth of wood, built for real life.
Faux wood blinds give you the grain and heft of a hardwood blind without the warping, fading, or price tag that comes with the real thing. Moisture-resistant and dimensionally stable, they hold their shape through Vancouver damp and Hamilton humidity alike, which is why we install more of these than any other blind in kitchens and bathrooms.
Why choose faux wood blinds
Moisture-proof core
A PVC composite core resists warping, cracking, and yellowing in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements — rooms real wood can't survive.
2" slats, true light control
Wider slats than a standard mini blind mean fewer lines across your view and a cleaner tilt for privacy without losing daylight.
Routeless or cordless options
Choose a routeless ladder for a cleaner face with less dust catch, or go fully cordless for a safer, tug-free lift.
Colour-matched hardware
Headrails, wands, and tilters are finished to match the slat colour, so nothing reads as an afterthought.
Why faux wood outperforms real wood in most homes
Real basswood blinds are beautiful, but they're also a wood product — and wood moves. It absorbs humidity, it fades under direct sun, and in a bathroom or above a kitchen sink it will eventually warp or crack. Faux wood is engineered specifically to solve that problem: a PVC and wood-composite core that carries the visual weight of real wood grain but doesn't care how much steam your shower puts out.
For most Lower Mainland and Golden Horseshoe homes, that trade-off is an easy call. You get 90% of the look at a lower cost, with a product that will still be flat and true in ten years.
Built for how the room is actually used
We size the slat width, tilt mechanism, and mount (inside or outside frame) to the window, not the other way around. A 2" slat is the sweet spot for most residential rooms — wide enough to keep the view open when tilted, narrow enough to stack cleanly at the headrail.
For wider spans, we'll spec heavier-duty headrails and, where needed, split the blind into two lifts so a single wand isn't fighting an oversized span.
Installation and aftercare
Every faux wood blind we install is measured on-site, not from a rough estimate — inside mounts are cut to the true opening, not the rough frame, so the reveal is even on all four sides.
Cleaning is simple: a dry microfibre duster or a damp cloth on the slats, no oils or polish required. Unlike real wood, there's no seasonal conditioning to worry about.
What our clients say
“The whole process from measuring to install was fast and professional. Our living room blinds fit perfectly and the price was better than two other quotes we got.”

Common questions
The PVC composite we use is UV-stabilized, so it resists yellowing far better than raw PVC or painted wood. South and west-facing rooms are exactly where we recommend faux wood over real basswood.
