Horizontal Blind Types Explained

Faux Wood vs Real Wood vs Aluminum

  • Faux Wood (PVC): Most popular choice. Looks like real wood, resists moisture/warping, affordable. Best for bathrooms, kitchens, humid climates.
  • Real Wood: Authentic grain, lighter weight, premium feel. Not recommended for high-humidity areas.
  • Aluminum / Vinyl: Slimmest profile, most colors available, budget-friendly. Common in offices and modern interiors.

Slat Width Guide

  • 1″ slats: Classic venetian look, more slats = finer light control
  • 2″ slats: Most common size — balances appearance and view-through
  • 2.5″ slats: Wider view when open, more contemporary look

Top Brands for Horizontal Blinds

CHICOLOGY LazBlinds H.VERSAILTEX
Are faux wood blinds waterproof?
They’re water-resistant but not fully waterproof. Fine for bathrooms and kitchens where they get occasional splashes, but not for direct water exposure.
What’s the standard blind width for windows?
Measure your window frame inside width at three points (top, middle, bottom) and use the narrowest measurement. Order ½” less than that for inside-mount clearance.
Can horizontal blinds be mounted outside the frame?
Yes — add 4–6 inches on each side of the frame width for proper light coverage. Outside mount is easier to install and hides imperfect frames.
How do you clean horizontal blinds?
Dust regularly with a microfiber cloth or blind duster. For deeper cleaning, wipe PVC slats with a damp cloth. Real wood should only be dusted or cleaned with wood-safe products.
