Facade Collection
Faux wood blinds are a popular item in Panama, due to their increased durability and extended lifetime provided by its synthetic nature. One of the main features of a faux wood, or PVC blind, is its resistante to mold and mildew and thus allowing it to be placed in humid places such as coastal or high precipitation mountain homes, bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms.
Our offering of faux wood blinds includes two collections: Facade, a riveted PVC slat that mimics natural wood textures, and Ecowood, a smooth, finished PVC slat. These distinctions are merely aesthetic and in function they are identical.
Horizontal Blinds, faux or real wood, are ideal for their ability to open and close the slats, to allow for differing levels of light and wind to pass through the blinds. Many people appreciate the flexibility and functionality of a horizantal blind product. Nonetheless wood blinds do have an all or nothing approach to them, either opened or closed and will not filter light like a screening product.
When choosing faux wood over real wood, also keep in mind that the faux wood product is slightly heavier than the wood product which will influence the size of the blind that may be made in one headrail.
