Steam from a hot shower and a sink full of dishes put a lot of moisture into the air, and real wood blinds take that harder than anything else at the window. Faux wood, composite, vinyl, and aluminum all handle damp rooms better, and they come in finishes that keep the room looking finished rather than utilitarian. We've helped Central Kentucky homeowners find the right window treatment solutions since 2015. Connect with us to see what’s right for your bathroom and kitchen.

Why Bathrooms and Kitchens Need Moisture-Resistant Window Treatments

Hardwood blinds in poplar or basswood look great in a living room, and they hold their shape as long as the air stays dry. Add daily steam, and the slats can warp and bow over time, which interferes with their look as well as their light and privacy control.

Kitchens run into a milder version of the same thing, with heat off the range and steam off the sink hitting the window above it. Grease is the other factor there, since it settles on a slat and takes a real cleaning rather than a quick dusting.

Bathrooms and kitchens need window treatments that resist moisture and maintain their look and functionality over time. That’s where The Painted Horse comes in.

Faux Wood and Composite Blinds

Faux wood and composite blinds give you the color and grain pattern of hardwood with much better moisture resistance.

Here are the lines we most often recommend for bathrooms and kitchens:

• Graber® Lake Forest® Faux Wood Blinds come in stains that blend with wood trim without looking synthetic.
• Graber® Traditions® Composite Blinds hold up in humid rooms and come in several neutral whites for a cleaner look.
• Norman® Ultimate™ Faux Wood Blinds carry the hardwood look through a durable material.
• Norman® SmartPrivacy® Faux Wood Blinds hide the route holes, so less light slips through when the slats close.
• Hunter Douglas EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds offer an extensive range of colors and finishes with performance protection for the life of your blinds.

Simply wipe custom blinds down with a damp cloth for quick and easy cleaning.

Vinyl and Aluminum Window Blinds

Vinyl and aluminum vertical blinds are ideal for expansive bathroom windows and patio doors off the kitchen. Like other durable materials, their vinyl and metal slats resist moisture and maintain their look and functionality over time.
