Wood & Faux Wood Blinds In Gardner
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds in Gardner, KS
For covering every window in a Gardner house in one order, wood blinds and faux wood blinds keep the total lowest. Moving into a new house means every window needs something at the same time, and our Solar Shield Blinds Wood & Faux Wood Blinds tilt for privacy, keep a view out and look uniform from the street.
Where It Fits In Gardner
Where wood blinds and faux wood blinds fit in Gardner
For a Gardner family covering a whole house, blinds keep the total fair, and cordless options make them safe in the kids' rooms.
- Bathrooms and laundry roomsFaux wood holds up to shower steam and a damp laundry room where real wood would warp, and it comes in whites that match new painted trim.
- The front of the houseEvery front window in the same blind looks clean from the street, which keeps the HOA happy and gives the front room privacy with the slats tilted.
- Replacing tired builder blindsHomes from the late 1990s in Cottage Creek are old enough for a second set of blinds. New faux wood with routeless slats closes tighter than the first set did.
- Kids' roomsBoth real wood and faux wood come with a cordless lift, so the kids' rooms have no strings at all.
Worth Knowing
Which Gardner rooms get real wood and which get faux wood
Blinds are the lowest initial investment of anything we install, which is why they show up on so many quotes for new Gardner homes. The slats give daytime privacy with a view out, every window matches from the curb, and a family can cover the bedrooms, bathrooms and basement in one order. Your Design Specialist measures each opening on site so every blind fits the frame you have.
Real wood is lighter, so it handles a wide window where a heavier blind would be hard to raise, and it takes a stain that can match the wood trim in an older house near Main Street. Faux wood is an engineered polymer built not to crack, chip or fade, which makes it the choice anywhere water is in play: the kitchen, the bathrooms, the laundry room. Slats come in 1, 2 and 2 1/2 inch sizes with 2 inch as the default, and routeless slats close tighter with no route holes for light to come through.
Tilted shut, a blind blocks a lot of light, but a bedroom for someone who sleeps days does better with a blackout Roller Shade, and a cold corner bedroom gets more from a Honeycomb Shade. We'll say so at the consultation and price the other option alongside. The consultation costs nothing, your itemized price holds for 180 days, and whatever old blinds come down leave in our truck.

Straight Answers
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds questions from Gardner homeowners
Yes. Nothing we install costs less up front than Wood & Faux Wood Blinds. The total depends on the size of each window, real or faux wood, the operating system and any valance, and every window gets its own line so you can adjust before ordering.
Yes, we recommend it. Shower steam doesn't crack, chip or fade it, a damp cloth cleans it, and the white finishes line up with a painted vanity. Real wood is best kept for the living areas and bedrooms.
Yes. Cordless, Cordless Lift & Lock and Motorized are all child safe, with no accessible cord on the blind, on both real wood and faux wood.
Yes. Angle the slats partway in daylight and the street sees slats while you still see the yard. After dark with the lights on, close them all the way, and a routeless slat closes tighter for the evening.
Yes. Real wood takes a stain, and your Design Specialist sets the samples against your trim or front door to find the closest match. That suits the older houses near Main Street, where the wood trim is part of the look.
Yes. They carry our Carefree Guarantee: lifetime product coverage that transfers to a buyer, five years of free service on defects, and one accident repaired under Life Happens.
