It is possible to get a stained wood blind in either an engineered faux wood or a stained basswood. Because of the technology, stained looking engineered wood can be quite nice and affordable. But honestly, and for my money, it is still hard to beat real stained wood. Why?
Well, natural wood has imperfections and different densities. This means that stains take on a life of their own depending on what is going on with a particular section of any given portion of the wood. Plus real wood will have slight movement and texture that can not be replicated in a PVC wrapped product.
Also, our two favorite brands of wood blinds make some of the most beautiful stained wood blinds I have ever seen. I personally like them better than any other brand I have seen and they are not the most expensive - they are mid range price. Anyway, there is just just something warm and inviting about a natural stained product that technology has not yet been able to replicate. They can come close, but for the discerning eye - wood is the way to go when wanting a stained product.
We would love the opportunity to consult with you on your wood blind project. And, be sure to check out our online cost calculator for a rough estimate.
