This is part three of an ongoing series of eco friendly blinds that are great for energy efficiency and good for the environment. We will be discussing the woven wood or bamboo blinds.
Bamboo blinds have to be the most eco friendly of all of our products. They are usually hand made with one of the most renewable resources out there. Bamboo is the fastest growing grass and comes in tons of colors and thicknesses. Most of our bamboo or woven wood blinds are hand made in China or Mexico. For the ones made in China, the fabric is hand sewn there and the blind is assembled here in the United States. For the bamboo blinds made in Mexico, they are all hand made from scratch. Although more expensive, you can tell by the quality and small imperfections that they were made with great care. Except for a few operating parts on the blind (so it will last), all bamboo shades are made from natural and renewable materials.
Some of the grasses are looser on the bamboo blinds while others are tighter strung so energy efficiency can vary greatly depending on the style. All pricing is also based on the style of the weaves. The more integrate, the more expensive. All bamboo blinds are available with an optional 100% cotton backing that is energy efficient and protects the blind. Bamboo blinds with cotton backing can last up to 25 years.
Bamboo blinds have come a long way since the 1970’s. They no longer have just the “jungle look” but can fit any modern décor. Check out our website to see the hundreds of colors, styles and weaves of the most eco friendly blinds on the market today.
