Are all Faux Wood Blinds The Same?

 The old saying, you get what you pay for is true when you buy the Faux Wood Two Inch Blind.

Not all are made the same. The cheaper ones are made of all vinyl. This product will yellow, sag in the middle and become brittle with the slats breaking easily over time. The rating on these runs about 140 to 180 of direct sunlight before turning yellow. That's about eight months.

The next group is called a composite faux wood blind. This blind has vinyl and a PVC material. The PVC is the white pipes that your water runs through a hard non-yellowing material. The more PVC material the more life your blinds will have.

Ratings on these will run 300 for about four to five years before turning yellow

A 500 hour will run eight to ten years before turning yellow

Blindsnmore carries 500 hours and above only.

Can the rating of direct sunlight vary? The answer is yes, the more trees or North/South Direction of your house providing more shade can add years to your blinds. Just as a High rise condo facing west can reduce your life of a blind.

Saving that extra dollar by buying cheap really isn’t the bargain you were planning on!
