If you like a refreshing, modern yet naturally beautiful décor in your household, a natural material woven window shade is certainly a good idea! Woven shades combine today's two most desirable window fashion trends - roman shades and natural woven wood materials like bamboo. Woven wood materials were made popular in the 1960's and styles have come a long way since that time of overly bold designs and tiki hut drama. Today's woven wood shades offer subtle and more natural appearances making them great choices for blending decors, architectural flair as well as statement pieces.

Woven Wood Shades, sometimes called bali blinds or bamboo blinds, feature thin horizontal strips of bamboo or other wood material which is stained or pained and combined with yarn in plain or patterned weaves. They are properly called shades since the material is woven together to operate a flat fabric. Bamboo and woven woods can be made with various warps. These are the lengthwise yarns that jont the woven wood slats together. To a great extent the warp yarns determin the style and look of the shade. In general the greater the amount of yarns used the greater the privacy acheived and the greater the cost.

Size Limitations

Due to the natural characteristics of woven materials, different patterns will have different size limitations base upon material length and weight. NOTE:Oversized shades can place too much stress on an operating system and cause breakages or malfunctions.

Headrails and Operating System

• Most Bamboo Woven Shades will come standard with a classic chain, clutch lift system. The shade is lower or raised evenly & precisely & will stay in place.
• Cordless lift mechanisms are now available as an option on many woven wood shades.
• Older cord lock lift systems may be required for some applications such as narrow headrail requirements.
• Duo-Fold or Top Down Bottom Up shades that lower from the top and raise from the bottom.
• Twin shades featuring a dual shade system with a woven wood roman shade in front and a modern roller shade on the back that acts as a movable lining.

Bamboo Shades can be upgrades with a privacy lining, BLACKOUT lining, valances, scalloped bottom edges and or edge trimming. Overall, the cost of Bamboo and Woven Wood Shades are low compared to other hard window treatments like shutters. These shades may be used alone in casual settings or combined with draperies woven wood shades make a great light-screening undertreatment. We even offer woven wood shades with an upgraded BLACKOUT lining option for complete nighttime privacy.
