Bamboo Window Treatments
There is a huge appeal to using bamboo in homes
. It's environmentally friendly. It's sustainable. It helps preserve forests of oak, pine and maple. Because of how quickly it grows - several inches per day, there's no need to worry about bamboo going extinct. Bamboo also gives an exotic feel to houses and office spaces. There is a Pacific Island feel that comes with woven bamboo products.
As far as bamboo roller shades go, the Tavarua Bamboo Roller Shades are ones to keep an eye on. They are made from sustainable bamboo that is both biodegradable and earth-friendly. These roller shades are made from real bamboo woven into sunscreen patterns. The design blends the functionality of a solar screen roller shade with the style and elegance of a bamboo shade.
Roller shades come in varying weaves. The higher the number, the more 'open' the shades are, meaning the more light that comes through even though UV rays and glare are blocked out. With the Tavarua Sunscreen Bamboo Roller Shades, there's a wide selection of different colors and types of stain. Their Akita version of the roller shade has a 20% openness factor, the Bamboo Palm offers a little more privacy with a 10% openness weave. The Sendai weave is available with an 8% openness factor. All of these blinds come with an optional upgrade for a bamboo valance, which provides a more finished look to a room.
Bamboo is pretty much an all-adaptive plant. It can grow virtually anywhere in the world. No water needed besides what the rain provides. Nature takes care of itself. No insecticides like cotton needed.
The second product to consider from Tavarua is the Basic Bamboo Shade. There is really nothing basic about them. They are elegant and stylish; they have flair of an island down in the Pacific. They are less expensive than the rest of the Tavarua line. The basic shades are woven wood, meaning that light still enters while glare and UV rays are kept out. There are a variety of different colors to choose from and they fold up elegantly.
For those who want privacy blinds, consider adding a fabric liner to give complete privacy. Bamboo brings in a layer of texture and style to any room. Some bamboo blinds come with decorative edge bindings, which can bring in an accent color. When opened, they fold up like a roman shade.
Bamboo Ring Drapery. Bamboo Ring Drapery is made with standard size ring grommets. They are available in a variety of colors and patterns to suit any room beautifully. Each bamboo drapery is bound on all four sides with edge binding at no additional charge. This helps protect the woven wood drapes from damage as well as adding a touch of color to decor. Each vertical bamboo drapery comes with two panels for center opening. Due to the weight, it is expected that the drapery rod will need a center support.
The last bamboo product to consider from Tavarua is the exotic bamboo sliding panels. These are perfect for southern homes or homes that are utilizing a tropical theme or design. They fold behind one another when open, so will come out of the wall a bit. The ambiance they offer can't be matched by a traditional window blinds or shade.
For those who are concerned with man's effect on the environment, the Tavarua line of bamboo window treatments are the perfect way to add style to a home without environmental damage. For those who aren't concerned with the environment, consider these window treatments on the basis of how fabulous they look in any house or office.
