Faux Wood Blinds in Bakersfield, CA
Measured, built and installed by our own crew · quoted in person, not online
The most-ordered window covering in the Kern County, for a practical reason: faux wood gives you the classic 2-inch slat look and shrugs off the two things that destroy real wood here: heat and moisture. West-facing Bakersfield windows sit above 100°F for weeks every summer, and kitchens and bathrooms pile steam on top of that. Real wood cups and twists in those rooms; a PVC-composite slat doesn’t.
Every blind is cut to your exact measurements in our own shop and priced without a showroom markup. Build a plan showing what you want, we come out and measure it anywhere in Bakersfield or Oildale, and then we hang them for you. There is no cart on this site and nothing to order yourself.
A Bakersfield summer runs over 100° for weeks at a stretch, and a real wood slat sitting in a west window will cup and twist by August. Faux wood will not. That is why it is the default here for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and any window taking afternoon sun off the Highway 99 side of the house.
We take the measurements and hang them ourselves. The fit is our problem, not yours.
Why Bakersfield homes pick faux wood blinds
Warp-proof in Valley heat
PVC composite slats hold flat through 100°F+ west exposure, steam, and sprinkler overspray.
Wipe-clean surface
Ag dust and summer pollen wipe off with a damp cloth. No refinishing, ever.
Cordless standard
Child-safe cordless lift is included on every blind, not an upcharge.
Four factory finishes
Chestnut, Driftwood, Alabaster and Graphite. We bring the swatches to you before you commit.
What faux wood blinds cost in Bakersfield
Faux wood is the least expensive route to the classic 2-inch slat look, and what your house costs turns on the glass rather than the finish. A wide living-room slider carries more cost than four small hallway windows put together. Colour and slat size barely move the number; width does.
The only honest way to get your number is to have us out. We measure every opening in the house and put one written price on the finished job: blinds, labour and installation together. We do not publish per-window prices, because a price without a measurement is a guess.
What moves the price
- ·Width far more than height, since wide sliders and great-room glass carry the cost
- ·2" slats are standard; 2½" costs a little more and suits big openings
- ·Cordless is included as standard; motorising a window costs more
- ·Valances and hold-down brackets on doors are small add-ons
Where faux wood earns its place in a Bakersfield house
Kitchens and bathrooms
Steam is what kills real wood, and it does it slowly enough that people blame the blind rather than the room. Faux wood does not care. It is also the only one of the two covered under our warranty in a bathroom, which tells you what we have seen come back.
West-facing glass
Afternoon sun in the Valley will fade and bow a lot of materials over a couple of summers. Faux wood holds its shape through it, which is why it is the most-ordered product we make here.
Anywhere that gets dusty
Ringed by farmland, everything indoors picks up a film by August. Faux wood wipes down with a damp cloth: no vacuum attachment, no taking anything down, no fabric holding onto it.
Faux Wood Blinds questions, answered straight
Faux wood or real wood for a Bakersfield home?
Faux wood in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and any hot west-facing window. It will not warp, and it is the covered choice under our warranty in humid rooms. Real wood is the pick for living and bedroom windows where the finish matters most.
How fast can I get them?
Standard cordless faux wood blinds are built and ready in 6–9 business days from confirmed measurements. Motorized lifts add a few days.
Do I have to measure my own windows?
No. We measure every opening ourselves before anything is cut, and our installers hang the finished blinds.
What slat size should I get?
Two-inch is the default and looks right on almost every window in a standard Bakersfield home. Two-and-a-half-inch suits wide openings and great rooms, where a bigger slat keeps the blind from looking busy. Both stack about the same when raised.
Are they safe around kids and pets?
Cordless is our standard lift and it is included at no extra cost, which removes the cord hazard entirely. If you want nothing hanging at all and nothing to pull on, motorised is the next step up.
How do I clean them?
Close the slats, wipe with a damp microfibre cloth, then turn them and do the other side. For a kitchen blind that has gone greasy, warm water with a drop of dish soap is fine. Do not put them in a bath or hose them down.
