Bass Wood Blinds 

Bass Wood Blinds are actually created from wood that has an exceptional look offering a natural, organic and warm feel to décor. Bass Wood Blinds are a natural product and therefore susceptible to moisture and direct sunlight. This tells you that if you are choosing them for an area in your home that is very sunny or moist, it isn’t a good idea as they may warp, crack and fade in the long run.

If you want to match your blinds with wood furniture or flooring, Bass Wood might make a better option. It is easier to match the shades of natural flooring and furniture with Bass Wood Blinds than it is with Faux Wood Blinds.

Bass Wood Blinds are kiln dried and when the moisture is removed they are made lighter, making it easy for you to pull them up for light and ventilation. Not only are they lightweight, but also are available in many varied size options, making them a better option when covering large windows.

Faux Wood Blinds

Faux Wood Blinds are artificial or imitation wood blinds. They look like the “real/natural thing”, but in the reality, they are made of PCV/vinyl or composite wood material. Both Bass Wood and Faux Blinds are made with slats, but the slats of Faux have a wood core that is coated with a composite or are wholly made of a PCV/vinyl material. 

Contrary to Bass Wood Blinds, Faux Wood Blinds are the best option for very sunny or moist areas. They are more resistant to moisture and sun and therefore you can comfortably have them in your bathrooms and basements.
