Where It Fits In KC Northland
Where Wood & Faux Wood Blinds Fit In The KC Northland
First homes, family subdivisions and bathrooms full of steam make the Northland a great place for a blind, and blinds cost less to start with than anything else we install.
- Gladstone ranchesThe postwar ranches have painted trim and wide, low windows that suit a white faux wood blind, and it's an easy way to finish the whole house at once.
- Family subdivisions off Barry RoadCordless blinds take the cord off the window in a house full of kids, and faux wood stands up to everyday bumps. It's the lowest cost cord free product we install.
- Kitchens and bathroomsSteam from a shower and splashes at the sink won't crack, chip or fade a faux wood blind. When the primary bath window sits near the tub, faux wood is the right choice.
- Curb appeal in Staley FarmsWhite blinds tilted the same way on every window look clean from the street, which matters on a two story with a lot of front glass facing the cul de sac.
Worth Knowing
Wood Or Faux Wood, Slat Size And Install Day
The Northland's homes make a good case for a blind. The first homes in Gladstone have painted trim and modest windows. The 1990s two stories off Barry Road and 152 have a lot of windows to cover at once, and a family with young kids wants them covered soon and cordless. The new builds in Shoal Creek and Staley Farms came with white trim that a white faux wood blind matches. A blind gives all three daytime privacy with a view out, at a lower starting cost than anything else we install.
Real wood is lighter, which matters on a wide window, and it takes a stain, which is the way to match stained trim if your home has it. Faux wood is an engineered polymer that costs less, handles moisture, and comes in painted whites and off whites that sit right next to new trim. Both tilt for daytime privacy, both come Cordless or Cordless Lift and Lock, and both can be motorized for the tall windows in a two story foyer. Slat sizes run from 1 inch to 2 1/2 inches, and the wider slats show more of the yard.
At night with the lamps on, close the slats fully for privacy, and ask about routeless slats, which have no route holes and block more light in a bedroom. On a window wider than about six feet, real wood or two blinds side by side is the better plan, because a wide faux wood blind gets heavy. The consultation is free, your Design Specialist measures every window and hands you an itemized quote on the spot with the price held for 180 days, our lead time is 4 to 6 weeks, and our own full time Install Techs clean up and take the packaging with them.

Straight Answers
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds questions from KC Northland homeowners
Yes, and faux wood makes that easier. It's the lowest initial investment of anything we install, so a family in a 1990s two story or a first home in Gladstone can cover every window in one order. The quote is itemized by window, and financing through Synchrony with up to 18 months at 0% interest is there if you'd rather spread it out.
Yes, it's the blind we recommend there. The primary baths in the two stories off 152 can put the window near the shower or over the tub, and steam that would warp real wood doesn't bother faux wood. It wipes clean and looks like the real thing, and if you'd rather have a shutter, the poly build is waterproof.
Yes. Cordless and Cordless Lift and Lock blinds raise with a push and lower with a pull, with no cord for a toddler or a dog to reach, and a motorized blind is cord free too. For a family home in Shoal Creek or Staley Farms, it's the lowest cost child safe option we offer.
Yes. The big square windows in a Shoal Creek or Tiffany Springs two story look great with a 2 1/2 inch slat, which gives you more view, fewer lines and a more substantial look. Smaller slats suit the smaller windows in a Gladstone ranch. Your Design Specialist brings the sizes so you can see them against your own glass.
Yes. Some of the older homes in the Northland kept their stained trim, and real wood takes a stain that can match it. Your Design Specialist brings real stained samples to your window so you can compare them in your own light. Faux wood comes in painted finishes for the rest of the house.
Yes. Every blind we install is covered by our Carefree Guarantee, with a lifetime product warranty on defects in materials and workmanship, our Five Year Service Guarantee, and one Life Happens repair within five years. It's transferable, so the coverage stays with your Northland home if you sell.
