Characteristics of faux wood blinds

Faux wood blinds, as the name suggests, are made up of man made materials that look like wood. We provide blinds with high-quality premium materials that look and feel great to the touch. They work for any room. The blind slats measuring 2 or 2.5-inches in width and are joined together with strong nylon ladders. Slats can be tilted partially for light control or closed totally for privacy. Easy to clean, our blinds are available with cord or cordless options. Choose from a variety of color options. The raw materials used in the faux wood shades can withstand the heat of 128 °F. Their water-resistant quality makes them a perfect choice for your bathroom and other similar humid spaces.

When You Want Real Wood Blinds for Your Home

Our real wood blinds are top quality. Created in a variety of different designs, in either horizontal or vertical format, wooden for windows add a high-end, polished feel to the room. As with faux wood blinds, the slats will help you regulate need levels of light and privacy, as well room temperature.

Most importantly, in this day and age, we are committed to sustainability in our work and our window treatment products. We always rely on sustainably sourced materials. Our wood is obtained with responsible forest management – respecting ecosystems, cultures, and economies.

Much much more less expensive than other big stores I went to – couldn’t get a real quote from the big chain stores because they charge for coming out to measure .

Ivan and his crew are highly professional and gave us the best quality blinds! Since we have a new baby, I didn’t want blinds that could hurt the baby if he was climbing on them and he was very knowledgeable about the type of blinds and safety of each. He also knew we were budgeting and gave us all the selections of blinds at all his costs. This company is the local “mom and pop” blinds that I highly recommend!

Update: Veteran Blinds took care of us well in our previous home, which is why we called them when we moved to our new home.

Had a great experience with Veteran Blinds. Ivan, the owner, personally went to quote our new home. He was professional and got to know what style and quality we were looking for to match our budget. They offer the same quality brands as their competitors however they came back much less than the others. Also, being a veteran myself I really appreciate the fact that this company goes out of their way to hire veterans. When it came to install day, Mark called me that morning and was able to schedule something same day. He and Steve are great guys and did great work. Really happy with our new blinds and I highly recommend them to anyone!

We have three, very large windows and a half-moon window in our Master Bedroom that we were getting a quote on for shades/ blinds. When my husband called them, the guy basically told us that our project is too small for them and it wasn’t worth their time. I have to say that I’m a little disappointed that a business is turning down potential customers and potentially larger jobs (if we liked the outcome of this project, of doing our entire house later)! We definitely will not be calling for service or recommending to anyone.
