Wood Look, Worry-Free Performance
Ottawa homes experience significant humidity changes—from dry winter heating to humid summer air. Real wood blinds can warp or crack under these conditions, but Alta Faux Wood Blinds are engineered for stability.
Performance advantages:
- Won't warp – Maintains straight slats in any humidity
- Won't crack – Handles temperature extremes
- Won't fade – UV-resistant colours stay true
- Easy to clean – Wipe with damp cloth
- Moisture resistant – Perfect for wet areas
For kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and basements, faux wood blinds deliver lasting performance where real wood might struggle.
Realistic Wood Grain Finishes
Alta's advanced manufacturing creates convincing wood-look finishes:
Stained Wood Grains
- Oak, cherry, walnut, espresso
- Realistic grain patterns and colour variation
- Virtually indistinguishable from real wood
Painted Finishes
- Bright whites, soft creams
- Smooth, clean appearance
- Won't yellow over time
Smooth Composite
- Contemporary solid colours
- Modern aesthetic
- Easy maintenance
The quality of Alta's faux wood finishes has improved dramatically—many homeowners and guests can't tell the difference from real wood. The practical benefits make the choice easy for moisture-prone areas.
Perfect for High-Moisture Areas
Alta Faux Wood Blinds excel where real wood struggles:
- Bathrooms - Above tubs, near showers, next to sinks. Humidity and splashes won't cause damage.
- Kitchens - Above sinks, near dishwashers, in breakfast nooks. Easy to wipe clean.
- Laundry Rooms - Dryer heat and humidity are no problem.
- Basements - Often more humid than upper floors. Faux wood resists moisture.
- Sunrooms - Temperature extremes and UV exposure—faux wood handles both.
For living rooms and bedrooms, you might prefer real wood blinds for their authentic character.
