Like those all the good things about faux wood blinds there are also some drawbacks. Faux wood blinds are heavier than hardwood blinds which will be harder when installing the faux wood blinds. Because of the heaviness of these faux wood blinds it is more appropriate to install to smaller windows rather than large windows. When applying faux wood blinds for the larger windows, it will be trickier because a larger set of faux wood blinds might be too heavy for the windows without reinforcements of the head rail. And while the color options available in faux wood blinds do look like almost similar to hardwood, there are less options available. You might be able to get the color you want if you have faux wood blinds custom made but it will increase the cost.

Which means that once you choose a color for this window treatment, you are forever stuck with it unless you replace it completely with new blinds.
