Wood & Faux Wood Blinds In Platte City
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds in Platte City, MO
Wood blinds and faux wood blinds are the most affordable way to cover every window in a Platte City home. A new house in Running Horse or Copper Ridge can come with thin builder blinds or bare glass, and our Solar Shield Blinds Wood & Faux Wood Blinds give each window slats that tilt for privacy and still let you see out.
Where It Fits In Platte City
Where wood blinds and faux wood blinds fit in Platte City
For a family that wants the whole house done at once, from the entry landing of a split entry to the bathroom in a ranch near downtown, blinds keep the total fair.
- Bathrooms and kitchensFaux wood stands up to shower steam and the splash over the sink, which is where real wood would warp.
- Every window of a new buildReplace the builder blinds in a newer two story all at once, with matched slats on every window facing the street.
- Kids' bedroomsCordless lift comes on both wood and faux wood, so nothing hangs down beside a bed or a crib.
- Stained trim in older ranchesReal wood takes a stain, so a ranch near the courthouse with its original stained trim can have blinds that match it.
Worth Knowing
Real wood or faux wood, room by room
Blinds are the lowest initial investment of anything we install, and the slats give you daytime privacy with a view out. That makes them the practical choice for doing a whole Platte City house at once, whether it's a three level split entry or a new two story where the builder blinds have already bent. Your Design Specialist measures each opening on site, because a blind ordered to a stock size shows a gap on an older frame.
Real wood is lighter, so it suits wide windows where a heavy blind would be hard to raise, and it takes a stain that can match original trim. Faux wood is a durable engineered polymer that won't crack, chip or fade, so it goes in kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms, and it comes in painted whites that match newer trim. Slats come in 1, 2 and 2 1/2 inch sizes, with 2 inch as the default, and routeless slats block more light when they're closed.
Closed blinds block a good amount of light, though a bedroom for a night shift sleeper does better with a blackout Roller Shade in channels, and a cold lower level gets more insulation from a Honeycomb Shade. We'll say so at the visit and price the other option if you want to see it. The consultation is free, the quote is itemized and held for 180 days, and our Install Techs take the old blinds with them on install day.

Straight Answers
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds questions from Platte City homeowners
Yes, Wood & Faux Wood Blinds are our lowest initial investment. The price depends on window size, real or faux wood, the operating system and any valance, and your quote lists every window so you can adjust before ordering.
Yes, and it's one of the most common requests we get on the newer streets. Your Design Specialist measures each window, the new blinds are built to those sizes, and our Install Techs take the builder blinds away when they finish.
Yes, and we recommend it. Faux wood holds up to steam without cracking or fading, wipes clean, and comes in whites that match a painted vanity. Real wood can go in the living room and the bedrooms, away from the water.
Yes, on both wood and faux wood. Cordless, Cordless Lift & Lock and Motorized leave no accessible cord anywhere on the blind.
Yes. During the day, tilt the slats and you get privacy with a view out, and after dark you close them all the way. On a ranch near downtown with its front window facing the neighbors, that routine works well.
Yes. The Carefree Guarantee gives them a lifetime product warranty that stays with the house, free repair of defects for five years, and one Life Happens repair if an accident damages a blind.
