Where It Fits In East Peoria
Where Wood & Faux Wood Blinds Fit In East Peoria
From the stained woodwork in older houses to the bathrooms and laundry rooms of newer ones, the choice between wood and faux wood comes down to water and trim.
- Original WoodworkIf your house kept its original stained woodwork, a real wood blind can be stained to match it, so the window and the trim read as one.
- Bathrooms And Laundry RoomsHumidity and splashing water are hard on real wood, so faux wood is our choice for these rooms. It's an engineered polymer that won't crack, chip or fade, and it wipes clean.
- A Whole House At OnceWhen every room has painted white trim, faux wood keeps the look consistent from room to room at a lower cost than real wood.
- Very Wide WindowsFaux wood is heavier, so past roughly six feet we'll suggest real wood, or two blinds on the one window so each stays easy to lift.
Wood Or Faux Wood
Tilt the slats, and the light goes where you want it
A blind lets you set the light anywhere between open and closed. Tilt the slats part way for privacy with a view out to the yard, or tilt them closed to settle the room down and block a good amount of the light. Raise it all the way and the slats stack at the top, so you have the full window back.
The first question is water. Anywhere with steam, humidity, or a sink gets faux wood from us every time. Everywhere else it comes down to your trim, with real wood for matching stained woodwork and painted faux wood for painted trim. Slats come in 1 inch, 2 inch and 2 1/2 inch sizes.
Every line we carry has a cord free lift option, so you raise the blind with a gentle push of your hand, which makes them a safe choice in rooms with kids and pets. Your Design Specialist brings both wood and faux wood to your home, measures every window, and gives you an exact itemized quote on the spot. From order to install is 4 to 6 weeks.

Straight Answers
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds questions from East Peoria homeowners
In most cases, yes. Faux wood slats hold up better over time against warping, bowing and finish changes, and they cost less. Real wood is the right choice when you're matching stained wood or covering a really wide and tall window, since it weighs less and is easier to lift.
Yes. A wand tilt opens and closes the slats with a simple twist, and paired with a cordless lift, there's no cord anywhere on the blind.
Not for most homes. Most of our projects are completed within one installation day, and our Install Techs clean up and show you how everything works before they leave.
Yes. A hold down bracket at the bottom keeps the blind from swinging when the door opens, and we measure every door ourselves so the blind sits clear of the handle.
Not completely. Tilted closed they block a good amount of light, and routeless slats block more, but they won't match a room darkening shade with side channels. For a bedroom that needs to be truly dark, we'll show you a shade or add drapery over the blind.
Yes. They're the lowest initial investment of everything we offer, and faux wood costs less than real wood. The final price depends on the number and size of your windows, the material and the lift you choose, and you'll get an exact, itemized quote on the spot.
