EverWood® Alternative Woods Blinds
Experience the warmth of real wood with the resilience of modern engineering. Hunter Douglas EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds (commonly known as faux wood) are the perfect solution for busy households in the Chicago Suburbs. These blinds offer the timeless look of a plantation-style blind but are built to withstand the toughest conditions in your home.
At Ogden Blinds, we recommend EverWood® for areas where moisture and high heat are a concern, providing you with a high-performance window treatment that never loses its shape.
Why Choose EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds?
Unlike standard PVC blinds, the EverWood® collection is made from a proprietary, PVC-free polymer. This advanced material is specifically designed for long-lasting beauty and durability.
- Performance Plus™ Protection: Hunter Douglas guarantees that these blinds will never fade, yellow, warp, or bow. This makes them the ultimate choice for sun-drenched south-facing windows and high-humidity rooms.
- Realistic Wood Finishes: Choose from the TruGrain® collection, which features the most realistic stain-like finishes in the industry, or select from a wide range of solid whites, neutrals, and grays.
- Eco-Friendly & Safe: These blinds are GREENGUARD Gold Certified, ensuring they meet strict standards for low chemical emissions, keeping your indoor air cleaner.
Technical Specifications & Performance
EverWood® blinds are engineered for maximum light control and everyday convenience. The slats are available in two sizes: the standard 2″ slat or the 2 ½” beveled slat, which provides a deeper, shutter-like appearance and a better view to the outdoors.
Light Control & Privacy
For those who need total privacy or better light blocking in bedrooms, the de-Light™ routless feature is a must-have upgrade. By eliminating the cord holes in each slat, this design blocks 50% more light than a traditional blind and ensures no “pinpricks” of light disturb your sleep. Additionally, these blinds provide at least 75% UV protection when the slats are tilted closed, preserving your home’s flooring and furniture.
Professional Versatility
These blinds are incredibly versatile, fitting windows ranging from 7 ¾” to 96″ wide and up to 120″ tall. They can also be custom-cut for specialty shapes, including arches, angles, circles, and even cut-outs for window cranks or French door handles. For a customized look, you can add decorative fabric tapes to cover the vertical ladders and add a pop of color or pattern to your windows.
Simple & Safe Operating Systems
Operation is smooth and effortless, with several options designed for modern living and child safety:
- PowerView® Automation: Tilt your slats from your phone, a remote, or your voice. You can even schedule them to adjust automatically with the sun.
- LiteRise®: A completely cordless system. Simply push up to raise or pull down to lower.
- SimpleLift™: A cordless option with a button on the bottom rail for easy, precise adjustment.
- UltraGlide®: A retractable cord system that stays at a constant, safe length.
