Hunter Douglas Everwood Blinds: The Smart, Stylish Alternative to Wood
The warm, classic look of wood blinds is a timeless choice that brings character and sophistication to any home. But what about rooms where heat and humidity pose a challenge, like kitchens, bathrooms, or sun-drenched living areas? For these demanding environments, you need a solution that offers the beauty of wood with the resilience of modern materials. Enter Hunter Douglas Everwood® Blinds, the leading name in faux wood blinds, engineered to provide a stunningly realistic look while standing up to the toughest conditions.
This guide explores why Everwood® is a durable, practical, and beautiful choice, offering the perfect blend of style and worry-free performance for any room in your home.
The Everwood Advantage: Resisting Heat, Humidity, and Time
The primary benefit of Hunter Douglas Everwood Blinds lies in their incredible durability. Crafted from a modern, high-quality polymer material, these blinds are specifically designed to perform in spaces where real wood might warp, crack, or fade. They are guaranteed never to yellow, bow, or discolor, even when exposed to intense sunlight and high humidity—making them an ideal solution for the hot, humid summers experienced in the Midwest.
This resilience makes Everwood® the perfect choice for the most challenging rooms in your home:
- Bathrooms: They are impervious to moisture and steam from showers.
- Kitchens: They can withstand heat and humidity from cooking and are easy to clean.
- Laundry Rooms: They remain unaffected by damp, humid conditions.
- Sunrooms & South-Facing Windows: They resist the intense heat and UV exposure that can damage other materials.
This unwavering durability provides true peace of mind, ensuring your investment remains beautiful and functional for many years to come.
The Realistic Look of Faux Wood Blinds
A common question regarding faux wood blinds is whether they can truly capture the authentic look of wood. With the Everwood® collection, the answer is a resounding yes. Hunter Douglas offers a range of exclusive TruGrain® finishes, which are meticulously designed to mimic the texture and realistic grain patterns of genuine hardwood. This sets them far apart from the flat, plastic look of basic vinyl blinds.
In addition to realistic wood-grain effects, the collection features a wide array of solid paint colors and finishes. This allows you to perfectly match your blinds to your home’s trim, cabinetry, or furniture for a seamless, integrated look. With Everwood® blinds, you can enjoy the classic, warm aesthetic of wood without any of the maintenance concerns.
Custom Features for a Polished Look
Everwood® blinds can be enhanced with the same premium features found on high-end wood blinds, allowing you to create a truly custom, polished look.
The de-Light™ Feature
For maximum light control and a cleaner appearance, choose the optional de-Light™ design. This innovation eliminates the traditional cord holes in the slats, reducing light leakage and creating a more private, room-darkening effect when the blinds are closed.
Decorative Tapes
Add a touch of personality with decorative fabric tapes. These tapes run vertically down the blind, concealing route lines while adding a pop of color or a textural design element.
PowerView® Automation
Bring modern convenience to your blinds with PowerView® Automation, allowing you to tilt them with a remote, app, or your voice for effortless light control.
