Shades Shutters Blinds offers four vinyl blinds options. First is the cheap
faux wood blinds Horizontal 2" and 2
1/2" straight pvc or faux wood slat. The second is the faux wood blinds Composite or wood and
pvc mixture. The third is the faux wood window blinds vertical blind and lastly is the
faux wood
plantation shutter. We do not carry the 1" mini blind made of vinyl because all
of our products are cut to the nearest 1/8th of an inch and includes a lifetime
warranty. The vinyl 1" mini blinds are out of the box, you or the store has to cut them, and there is no warranty. You typically replace
faux blinds when they go bad (usually in two years).
Faux Wood
(PVC) Blinds (Click here for colors and pricing)
The first type of vinyl blind is the straight horizontal faux wood (pvc) blind. It is made of 100% polymers. They are typically available in the 2"
or 2 1/2" flat slat. They are extremely popular because of the look and the price. The most important thing to look for on this product is how many hours the material can handle sun exposure. Most of the cut down found in the big box stores have around 500-800 hours of exposure tested. These blind are good for around 3 years and typically come with no warranty. The custom made ones usually have 1200 hours plus and contain a lifetime warranty against warpage and discoloration. 2" vinyl blinds are an affordable and attractive window treatment.
Composite Blinds (Click here for colors and pricing)
The second type of vinyl blind is made of a composite material. It is typically 15% lighter than the straight vinyl horizontal blind and comes in much richer colors. It is typically around 35% more in price and not available as a cut down like the fauxwood found in most box stores. The
2 faux wood blinds have a wood and vinyl mixture with a poly coating on top. The slats are thicker and more durable to the elements. Most composite blinds come with a lifetime warranty.
Vertical

Vertical
blinds have been a standard in the industry for years. Sliding doors and
large windows make this a very popular product. The vertical comes on a
track system that allows you to turn the 3 1/2" vane to open it and to draw it back and forth. They are available in hundreds of colors and typically are used for room darkening situations.
Vinyl

Vinyl blinds also
are hugely popular with the plantation shutters. They typically come in 2 1/2" or 3
1/2" louver sizes. They are affordable and great for most areas such as bathrooms. They are limited on colors and typically take longer to make and ship.
