How to Choose Discount Wood Blinds
By Jimmy Sturo
Despite the high-end look, discount wood blinds are available. Constructed from the less expensive types of wood, these discount wood blinds can be very reasonably priced. They are pre-designed, pre-made, and pre-cut and can't be made to order. Discount wood blinds come in limited styles and options; however, they are just as good as customized wood blinds in terms of quality and durability. Most discount wood blinds are made of bass wood, a kind of wood obtained from the Linden tree. Linden trees are native to Mexico, North America, Europe, Japan, and Asia. Bass wood is popular for blind construction because it is soft-grained and light but strong and durable.
Discount wood blinds are available in different styles on the basis of the model. These are mini wood blinds, vertical wood blinds, woven wood blinds, and faux wood blinds. Out of these, the faux wood blinds are generally available in the discount wood blinds category. Because these wood blinds are not made of real wood, they are a less expensive alternative to real wood blinds. However, they have a similar look and feel.
Discount wood blinds are also categorized on the basis of the material used: ramin and bass wood blinds. Bass wood is the most preferred since it has more distinctive grain and is thus stronger. They are also good for staining. They have a no-hole option which enables the blinds to make the room really dark. Besides, the 3-inch valance on these blinds is very decorative. Ramin is a cheaper alternative. They have a 2-inch valance at the top of the window to hide the metal head rails. Wood blinds are available at different prices depending on the type of material used, the kind of finish, the options provided and so on.
Saving money doesn't mean having no choices. Even discount wood blinds are provided with some limited options. They are also available in different colors, forms, and shades. Discount wood blinds can be quite an alternative to real--and usually expensive--wood blinds.
