Imitation wood blinds (PVC) offer the distinctive look of Faux-wood blinds with an even greater savings compared to the price of authentic wood. PVC slats are similar to faux wood products with respect to texture and appearance, but they are made from 100% PVC. The formula used is not unlike that of the window manufacturers in Canada at this present time. Slats are smooth or textured and can also be printed to give the illusion of woods natural grain and color. Hardware specifications and optional features are similar to real wood blinds with the exception of color range in both stains and solid finishes. This product also offers exceptional performance in areas of high humidity, however they will not perform as well as faux wood blinds in West and Southern exposures.
