Woven Wood Shades

Bamboo shades, woven wood shades, bamboo blinds, and matchstick blinds are all referring to the same style of shade built with natural materials. Woven wood shades are an excellent choice to compliment many types of décor styles from traditional to modern. The natural materials lend a unique look to each shade, meaning no two will ever look identical.

Bamboo blinds are excellent at light control and privacy while still allowing natural light to enter a room if you want. This makes them an excellent choices for many rooms in the house from dining and living rooms, to bedrooms and home theaters. Plus, cordless and top-down / bottom-up options not only make operation easier, but allow you to control which direction the shades open.

Benefits of Choosing Bamboo Shades?

At JustBlinds, our goal is to make window treatment shopping as easy as possible. Our Buying Guides for Shades is a great place to start! Here are some advantages when choosing woven wood shades for your home:

• Natural: Bamboo blinds enhance any room with natural beauty pulled from nature to compliment any décor. Their natural materials show off how unique each shade is, with no two ever being identical.
• Light Control: Matchstick blinds are excellent for both light control and privacy. Liners are available add privacy or room darkening to the shades.

Upgrades and Options

Bamboo shades have some options and upgrades available to enhance their look or function.

• Cordless Lift: Always a popular option, this provides a hidden control system that eliminates the lift cord on your woven wood shades and enables the shades to be easily raised or lowered.
• Top-Down / Bottom-Up: This option allows your bamboo or woven wood shades to be raised and lowered in either direction to allow for customized light control and privacy.

Considerations

Here are a few things to consider before purchasing bamboo blinds.

• Woven wood shades can be harder to clean than other blinds or shades due to their materials.
• Since woven wood shades are made of natural materials, it is important to keep in mind that these materials have unique variations in color, texture, and size.
• Colors may change over time, as with any natural wood product; this adds to the natural beauty of the material and does not represent a defect.
• Due to natural materials, bamboo shades can be subject to warping if installed in high humidity areas.
• The natural elasticity of yarns combined with the weight of the natural woven material may cause shades to stretch upwards to 1" to 1 1/2" after installation. This is particularly noticeable on inside mount shades or shades that extend from ceiling to floor. This is a natural occurring characteristic and is not considered a flaw.
