Wood Blinds or or Faux Wood Blinds?
Wood blinds complement the decor of any room and have always been a popular window covering. There are some draw-backs to real wood, though. Wood can warp in rooms with high moisture, and they’re not great for high-traffic areas. Considered an investment like a piece of fine furniture, wood blinds are at a higher end of the cost spectrum for window coverings. If you like the look of wood blinds, but want to mitigate some of the drawbacks, faux wood blinds are an excellent option. Window Treats, Inc., your Hunter Douglas Gallery dealer serving the Monmouth Beach area and customers throughout New Jersey and New York, can help you determine which blind — wood or faux — would work best in your home.

Hunter Douglas Duette Architella Shades Save You Money!
Hunter Douglas Duette Architella shades insulate your home so that 50% of the heat you are paying so much for doesn’t escape out through the windows. Note the red color in the picture to the right. This is a typical home, similar to the homes we do work for in Rumson and Holmdel New Jersey. Those red spots are where heat is escaping from the home. Notice that the majority of the heat is escaping through the windows!
Any type of window treatment would be helpful for insulation, but the level of insulation will differ. Wood blinds with slats have many gaps and therefore offer limited insulation. Roman shades, Hunter Douglas Vignette, Hunter Douglas Silhouette, and other shadings are better, but still not the best.
