Authentic Craftsmanship & Description

Faux wood blinds (also known as composite blinds) are designed to replicate the organic grain and texture of natural timber. Each slat is made from a robust PVC-based material that provides a heavy-duty feel and a premium aesthetic. They are particularly favored by homeowners in Glasgow and Stirling looking for a "move-in ready" look that offers both luxury and longevity.

Technical Specifications & Durability

  • Slat Sizes: Available in the popular 35mm for a traditional look or 50mm for a modern, shutter-style appearance.
  • Materials: High-grade, flame-retardant PVC/Composite.
  • Control Options: Classic cord operation or Cordless/Child-Safe systems as standard.
  • Decorative Tapes: Optional fabric tapes in various colors to hide routing holes and add a bespoke designer finish.
  • Mounting Styles: Inside Mount (recess) or Outside Mount (exact).

Care and Cleaning Procedures

  • Routine Dusting: Simply use a microfiber cloth or a soft brush vacuum attachment.
  • Deep Cleaning: Because they are waterproof, you can safely use a damp cloth with mild soapy water for any marks or spills.
  • No Specialist Oils: Unlike real wood, these slats require no polishing or oils to maintain their finish.
  • For a professional, seamless finish, our expert fitters ensure your blinds are perfectly level and securely mounted. We handle the heavy lifting, ensuring the headrail is plumb and the slats hang straight, providing optimal light control from day one.

Care and Cleaning Procedures

Natural wood requires specific care to maintain its luster and structural integrity over time.
  • Routine Dusting: Use a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a specialized blind duster. Close the slats fully to wipe one side, then rotate them to clean the reverse.
  • Avoid Excess Water: Never saturate wooden blinds. If a damp cloth is needed for sticky marks, ensure it is well-wrung and follow up immediately with a dry cloth to prevent moisture absorption.
  • Furniture Polish: Occasionally, a small amount of non-silicone wood polish can be applied to a cloth to restore the natural shine of stained wood finishes.
  • Vacuuming: Use the soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner on a low-suction setting to remove dust from the cords and headrail.
  • UV Protection: Finished with a specialized UV-resistant coating to prevent fading or cracking from sun exposure.

Faux Wood Blinds FAQ

Faux wood blinds are window treatments made from high-quality synthetic materials, usually a moisture-resistant PVC or a wood-polymer composite. They are designed to mimic the appearance, texture, and "grain" of real timber blinds but offer enhanced durability. Because they aren't made of organic wood, they won't warp, crack, or fade, making them the most practical choice for modern homes.

One of the biggest advantages of faux wood is how easy they are to maintain. For regular maintenance, simply use a microfiber cloth or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove dust. For deeper cleans, because the material is 100% waterproof, you can use a damp cloth with mild detergent to wipe away stains or grease. Unlike real wood, you don't need to worry about the water damaging the slats.

When you choose Cross Blinds & Shutters, you don’t have to worry about installation! We provide a professional fitting service included in your price. Our experts will securely mount the brackets to your window recess or frame, click the headrail into place, and attach the decorative valance for a clean finish. We also ensure all child-safety cleats are correctly installed and tested before we leave.

Yes, our faux wood range is 100% waterproof and moisture-resistant, making them the perfect choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.

50mm slats are the most popular as they offer a look similar to plantation shutters and allow more light into the room when open. 35mm slats are often chosen for smaller windows or a more traditional Venetian look.

Absolutely. We offer a wide variety of fabric tapes that can be added to your blinds to match your interior décor and add a touch of luxury.
