Wood Beauty, Worry-Free Performance
Ottawa homes experience significant humidity swings—from dry winter heating to humid summer air. Real wood blinds can warp, crack, or discolour under these conditions. EverWood eliminates those concerns with advanced materials engineered for stability.
Key advantages over real wood:
- Won't warp – Maintains straight slats in high humidity
- Won't fade – UV-resistant finish keeps colours true
- Won't yellow – White and light finishes stay bright
- Won't crack – Resists Ottawa's temperature extremes
For kitchens above the sink, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, EverWood provides the wood look you want with the durability you need.
Two Collections for Every Style
Hunter Douglas offers two EverWood collections:
EverWood® Distinctions™
- Premium collection with authentic wood grain textures that closely mimic real hardwood. Available in realistic stain finishes—oak, cherry, walnut, and more. The most convincing alternative wood on the market.
EverWood® TruGrain®
- Features a realistic wood-grain finish with a smooth, painted look. Excellent for modern interiors and perfect when you want the clean appearance of painted wood without maintenance concerns.
Both collections offer the same exceptional durability—the choice comes down to your preferred aesthetic.
Perfect for High-Moisture Areas
EverWood is specifically engineered for spaces where real wood struggles:
Bathrooms
- Shower steam, humidity spikes, and temperature changes won't affect EverWood. Ideal for windows near tubs, showers, and sinks.
Kitchens
- Above-sink installations, near dishwashers, and in breakfast nooks where cooking generates moisture.
Laundry Rooms
- Dryer heat and humidity are no match for EverWood's stability.
Sunrooms & Enclosed Porches
- Temperature extremes and UV exposure—EverWood handles both without fading or warping.
Real wood is beautiful, but for these rooms, EverWood is the practical choice.
