The warmth of wood, built to never warp
A moisture-sealed composite slat that shrugs off steam, splashes and full Texas sun — the standard recommendation for kitchens, bathrooms and every high-humidity room in the house.
Real wood look, zero real-wood problems
Each slat is a PVC-and-wood composite core wrapped in a UV-cured finish that reads as painted or stained hardwood. Where real wood absorbs moisture and swells, the sealed composite core simply does not — which is why faux wood is our standard call for any window near steam, splashes, or standing humidity.
Kitchens and baths, no warping
The sealed core resists steam and splashes that would swell or crack a real hardwood slat within a season.
Fade-resistant, west window or not
The UV-cured finish holds its color through years of direct sun, where a stained real-wood slat would yellow or bleach.

Choose your finish
Three quick choices below. They are not an order — they tell your designer exactly which samples to bring, so the consultation starts where you left off instead of at the beginning.
Step 1 of 3 — FinishThe brightest, most versatile finish — disappears against white trim and casing.
Eight of our eighteen faux wood finishes are shown here. Your designer brings the full sample book, plus real slats, to your window.
Choose your slat width
Wider slats mean fewer to dust and a bolder look; narrower slats fit tighter recesses and smaller panes.
Choose how you control them
Cordless is standard in homes with children. Motorization earns its cost on tall windows and rooms you would otherwise leave shut.
Faux wood, real wood, or aluminum?
All three are horizontal blinds. Here is where each one actually wins.
Where faux wood wins in DFW homes
Kitchens
Steam, splashes, and sun all in one room — the sealed core handles every bit of it.
Bathrooms
The standard recommendation wherever real wood would warp from daily humidity.
Laundry rooms
A durable, wipe-clean treatment for the room that sees the most moisture in the house.
Sunrooms
UV-cured finish holds its color through full-day sun that would bleach a stained slat.
We redid the kitchen and bathroom windows in faux wood. Two years of steam and they still look brand new — no warping at all.
Our old real wood blinds cracked in the bathroom within a year. Arcadia swapped them for faux wood and explained exactly why upfront.
The espresso finish on the 3.5-inch slats looks like real hardwood. Nobody believes it isn’t until they touch it.

(682) 271-7646What are faux wood blinds? +
Faux wood blinds are horizontal slats made from a PVC-and-wood composite, finished with a UV-cured coating that reads as painted or stained hardwood — built to resist the humidity and fading real wood cannot.
What is the difference between faux wood and real wood blinds? +
Faux wood is a composite that resists humidity, steam, and fading, and it is heavier so wide slats hang straighter. Real wood is lighter and shows a genuine grain, but can warp, crack, or discolor in bathrooms, kitchens, or full-sun windows.
Are faux wood blinds good for bathrooms? +
Yes — they are our standard recommendation for bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. The sealed composite core does not absorb moisture the way real wood does, so it will not warp or crack from daily steam.
How much do faux wood blinds cost in DFW? +
Most faux wood blinds land between $180 and $420 per window, installed, depending on width, slat size, and control. Motorization adds to that. Your quote is fixed once we have measured, with no deposit taken at the consultation.
Can faux wood blinds be motorized? +
Yes. Cordless wand, motorized remote, and app or voice control are all available across every finish and slat width, with a rechargeable battery motor as the standard option.
