Wood & Faux Wood Blinds In Shawnee
Wood & Faux Wood Blinds in Shawnee, KS
Wood blinds and faux wood blinds are the most affordable way to cover every window in a Shawnee house. A 1990s home in Woodsonia that still has the builder blinds it came with is a typical call, and our Solar Shield Blinds Wood & Faux Wood Blinds replace them with slats that tilt for privacy and keep a view of the yard.
Where It Fits In Shawnee
Where wood blinds and faux wood blinds fit in Shawnee
Blinds suit any Shawnee family that wants the whole house done at once at a fair total, and our cordless options keep them safe in kids' rooms.
- Replacing builder blindsThirty years of tilting wears out a builder blind. In Woodsonia and Lakepointe we replace them room by room or all at once, and each one is built to the measured opening.
- Baths and laundry roomsFaux wood stands up to shower steam and splashes, so it goes in the bathrooms and the laundry room. Real wood is better kept to the dry rooms.
- Stained trim in older homesA ranch near Nieman Road with its original stained trim takes real wood blinds in a matching stain. Painted trim gets faux wood in a matched white.
- Kids' roomsCordless lift comes on both wood and faux wood, so nothing hangs near a bed or crib. It's the option parents ask about first.
Worth Knowing
Real wood or faux wood for each room of a Shawnee house
Blinds turn up on many of our Shawnee quotes because they cost the least to start of anything we install, they tilt for privacy without blocking the view, and every window reads the same from the street. A family in a 1990s two story can replace every builder blind in the house in one order. Your Design Specialist still measures each opening on site, because even a newer frame can be off by enough to show a gap on a blind ordered from a chart.
Real wood is lighter, so it suits wide windows where a heavy blind is hard to lift, and it takes stain to match the trim in an older east side house. Faux wood is a durable engineered polymer that won't crack, chip or fade, which makes it the right choice for bathrooms, laundry rooms and the kitchen sink. Slats come in 1, 2 and 2 1/2 inch sizes, with 2 inch as the default, and routeless slats close tighter and block more light.
Closed blinds block a fair amount of light, but a bedroom for someone who sleeps days does better with a blackout Roller Shade in channels, and a cold north room does better with a Honeycomb Shade. We'll point that out on the visit and price the other option if you want to see it. The consultation is free, the quote is itemized and held 180 days, and our Install Techs haul the old blinds away on install day.
