Finished or UnFinished Basements

If you’d like to be a little more conservative with your basement décor, Faux Wood Blinds are an energy and cost efficient choice.  They’re great for finished or unfinshed basements because they’re durable, easy-to-clean and will never warp. With partially underground spaces, humidity damage can be a big concern. Faux Wood PVC material is less expensive and more moisture-proof than wood blinds. No matter how often you use your basement, Faux Wood is a safe bet.

Window Coverings To Avoid In Basements

In addition to wood blinds, Honeycomb Cellular Shades are a window covering that doesn’t fare well in basements.  Cellular shades are made of fabric which is easily damaged by moisture and can accumulate dirt and dust. Faux Wood blinds are easier to clean and hold up better in spaces with changing temperature and humidity.
