Real wood can warp and fade on a hot, sunny window. Faux wood holds its shape and color under Utah's 220-plus sunny days, so it looks the same in year five as year one.
Steam and splashes don't bother faux wood the way they warp real wood, which makes it the right call for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
From a few feet away faux wood reads like painted or stained wood, at a lower price, so you can do more windows for the budget.
A quick wipe with a damp cloth keeps them looking new. No special care and no refinishing.
Faux wood blinds are the workhorse of custom blinds. They give you the crisp, classic slat look and precise tilt control of wood, but they shrug off the heat, sun, and moisture that make real wood a risk in some rooms. In a South Jordan home that means you can run the same look through the whole house, real wood where you want the warmth and faux wood in the bathrooms, kitchen, and hot west-facing rooms, and have it all coordinate. Ashley matches the slat size and finish to your trim so the blinds read built-in, not added on.

Custom faux wood blinds are quoted per project after a free in-home consultation, since the price depends on the fabric or material, the size of your windows, and whether you add motorization. Financing is available through Acorn Finance.
Real wood is lighter and richer in grain, but it can warp in heat and moisture. Faux wood looks nearly identical from a few feet, resists sun and humidity, and costs less, which makes it the better pick for bathrooms, kitchens, and hot windows.
No. Unlike real wood, faux wood is engineered to hold its shape and color under direct sun, which matters on Utah's west-facing windows. That is a big reason we recommend it so often here.
Common slat sizes are 2 inch and 2.5 inch, with smaller options for smaller windows. Wider slats give a cleaner view when open and a more built-in look, and Ashley helps you pick the right size per window.
Faux wood is heavier than real wood, so on very wide windows we may split the blind into two on one headrail or suggest a lighter shade. Ashley sizes each window at the consultation.
Faux Wood Blinds are one of several ways to handle a window. Shades, blinds, shutters, drapery and motorized options all live in one place, with the trade-offs spelled out.
