Wood & Faux Wood Blinds In Blue Springs
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds in Blue Springs, MO
Wood blinds and faux wood blinds are the practical way to redo every window in a Blue Springs home at once. If your Kingsridge raised ranch or Plaza Estates two story still has the blinds it came with, our Solar Shield Blinds team measures each window, installs slats that tilt for privacy, and hauls the old ones away.
Where It Fits In Blue Springs
Where wood blinds and faux wood blinds fit in Blue Springs
For the raised ranches and two stories built from the 1970s through the 1990s, blinds give privacy from the street, a view of the yard and the lowest initial investment of anything we install.
- Front windows facing the streetTilted slats let you watch the sidewalk while anyone walking by sees only a blind, and matched white blinds across the front give the house one clean look from the curb.
- Bathrooms and laundry roomsFaux wood is an engineered polymer that won't crack, chip or fade in steam, so it holds up over the tub and beside the washer.
- Lower level playroomsThe short lower level windows in a Kingsridge raised ranch get a blind cut to their size, and a cordless lift leaves nothing hanging where the kids play.
- Stained trim in newer homesWhere a newer home has stained doors or a stained staircase, a real wood blind takes a matching stain and looks like part of the trim.
Worth Knowing
Real wood or faux wood, room by room in a Blue Springs house
Blue Springs has thousands of houses from the 1970s through the 1990s, and any that still have the blinds the builder hung are overdue, with slats that have yellowed, bent or gone missing. Replacing them with Wood or Faux Wood Blinds is the lowest initial investment of anything we install, and it covers the two things people ask for most: privacy from the street and a view out when the slats are tilted. Doing every front window at once also gives the house a uniform look from the curb.
Moisture decides the material first. Faux wood is the pick for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and anything near a sink, because steam and humidity don't affect it. Real wood is lighter, which helps on a wide window, and it takes a stain to match a stained door or staircase. Past roughly six feet wide we recommend real wood or two blinds on one window, because faux wood is denser and a wide one gets heavy to lift.
Tilted closed, blinds block a good deal of light, and routeless slats block more of it, but they won't make a bedroom fully dark. In a bedroom, your Design Specialist can pair the blind with a room darkening shade or a drapery for the dark you want. Your free consultation includes measuring every window, and the price on the quote you get that day stays good for 180 days. Our full time Install Techs finish most Blue Springs houses in a day and take the old blinds with them.

Straight Answers
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds questions from Blue Springs homeowners
Yes. Faux wood is made from an engineered polymer, so a steamy bathroom won't crack, chip or fade it, and a damp cloth cleans it. Real wood belongs in the living room, dining room and bedrooms, where it's lighter to lift on a wide window and can be stained.
Yes. Every blind is made to the opening we measure, so the short, wide windows in a Kingsridge lower level get a blind that fits inside the frame instead of a stock size that hangs past it.
Yes. Choose Cordless, Cordless Lift & Lock or Motorized on any Wood & Faux Wood Blind, and every one of those three is child safe. Nothing hangs down for a child to pull, and the blind raises with a light push on the bottom rail.
Yes, with the slats closed. During the day you can tilt them to see out while the street sees the blind, and after dark with the lamps on, close them fully. Routeless slats close tighter and let less light through at the edges.
They're the lowest initial investment of anything we install. The price depends on the size of each window, real wood or faux wood, the operating system and whether you add a valance or cornice, and your itemized quote shows every window so you can decide room by room.
Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee gives every blind a lifetime product warranty that moves with the house, plus five years of free service on defects. And for 30 days after install, you can trade any product for one of equal or lesser value.
