Most Popular Blinds

Trends are very important to the discerning home owner. One question we get over and over again is, what is everyone ordering today? Well, the answer is still the basic 2" blind. That is right! The most ordered item is still the standard 2 inch blind in the routed construction. Routed being the blind slats with holes for the lifting cord. Now the variation of the 2 inch blind does seem to split somewhat between the wood blind and the faux wood blind. Woods are always the top of the line, premium choice due to the lighter weight which makes for smoother operation and not to mention the stained color choices. Faux wood on the other hand is tougher and is available in flame retardant materials, an issue important depending on the application. Pricing does cause many to choose the faux over the wood, but the trend remains 2 inch blinds thus far.

May 2008 bring prosperity and great blessing to your house hold.

Stained Faux Wood

When considering faux wood blinds you have the option for white and or stained. White color choices are similar to wood white choices. Stained faux woods can be a little different. Many stained faux wood color choices will be a flat non shine surface. An alternative to this is available in the Royal Trend faux wood blind. Royal offers a subtle, maybe you call it a satin finish, which provides for a sheen without being too glossy. A very nice option to the flat finishes that are most common to the faux woods. Naturally if you are trying to match or color coordinate, the flat and sheen give a great spectrum from which to make a decision. As with all products a sample is suggested for color varification.

Have a wonderful week and remember now is an excellant time to be ordering for the up and coming Thanksgiving Holidays.
