Pretend wood blinds are the commonest form of blinds used as window coverings. The reason is because they are the ideal alternative to wood blinds and they are cheap. Faux wood window blinds are made from vinyl material or a mixture of vinyl and hardwood. They are called pretend wood blinds because they seem like wooden blinds. However, they are harder than real wood and are OK for all rooms of the home, even those with exaggerated levels of humidity. Pretend wood blinds are also way easier to scrub than wood blinds. Fake wood blinds can cost 30 percent less than wood blinds. They also last far longer than blinds made from real wood, which makes them really inexpensive. An occasional cleaning and dusting will keep pretend wood window blinds in perfect condition. Really, these window blinds are so sturdy, you can take them down from the window and wash them in the bathtub. You can get fauxwood blinds in sizes to fit the tiniest or biggest window.
While you should purchase them in the shop in sizes virtually the same as that of your window, you may have them custom made. They are available in mini blinds or vertical blinds and you can also get these in motorized versions. Installing fake wood blinds is an easy affair. You have to choose where you are going to mount the brackets within or outside of the facings on your window. Almost all of the pretend wood window blinds come in measurements to fit snugly within the facings, so if you need them outside you could have to have a look for inexpensive faux wood blinds that are an in. or so wider.
When you mount the brackets, then you simply slide in the head rail of the blind and insert the little covering that keeps it from falling out.

Whether you install the pretend wood blinds inside or outside of the facing, you can use valances and drapes with these blinds. Most householders do employ a little valance or topper over both faux wood blinds and real wood blinds, just to fit the dcor of the room and to enhance its ambiance.
