Real wood blinds can be susceptible to warping due to their natural material, especially when exposed to high humidity levels or direct sunlight over prolonged periods. However, with proper care and placement, the risk of warping can be significantly minimized. To prevent warping, it's advisable to avoid installing real wood blinds in areas with high moisture content, such as bathrooms or kitchens. Use blinds made from materials like faux wood in these environments instead. For windows that receive a lot of direct sunlight, consider using UV protectant treatments on the blinds or integrating window films to reduce sun exposure.
