Bamboo shades make use of light materials such as bamboo, reed, rattan, jutes, wood and faux wood. Bamboo shades are also referred to as woven wood shades or matchstick shades. These traditional wooden shades originated from an ancient art in Japan.

The shades are known to help improve the look and feel of your homes. During summer or winter, the shades can provide insulation to your room. This is one reason why the wooden shades offer practical choices for your rooms.

The traditional bamboo window treatments use the ancient art of weaving the bamboo. Bamboo canes are first cut and dried. Then they are braided with a rope to form the shade. Bamboo wooden shades now make use of the modern technology combined with the ancient weaving art to come up with the different variety of window shades we have now.

Bamboo wooden shades provide warmth to any house. The materials used in bamboo window treatments are natural and eco-friendly. They are also affordable and do not need a lot of maintenance.

Installing these window shades is fast. Basically, all you have to do is hang them to your window. You do not need any knowledge to install it at all.

Maintaining the bamboo window shades is really quick. All you need to do is use a feather duster to take away the dirt. You can also use a lamb wool duster. Or, for a thorough clean, you can dust it slowly using the vacuum cleaner’s brush attachment.

The wooden shades have various styles and lengths. An essential part of its design is the pull cords that move the shade up and down. Some offer valance options.

The roll-up bamboo wooden shades can enhance the appearance of any window of your house. You can also choose from different colors that would match your room. The roll-up easily rolls due to the thin slats, allowing them to move up or down quickly.

The look of these window shades can improve the look and color of your house. Some shades install liners to make sure that you have privacy. If you want privacy even if the slats are opened, then you may need a sheer curtain to cover the shades.

Do not expose the shades to moisture. This can cause discoloration unless the shade is weather treated.

Do not use household cleansers when cleaning the shades because these are too harsh for the bamboos. This might cause discoloration or affect the smooth finish of the shades.

Bamboo window shades also come in less traditional styles such as using larger or longer slats whether horizontal or vertical. These shades offer an inexpensive way to improve the look of your house.

Make sure that you check the shades thoroughly when you buy them. You may notice certain defects and scratches on some shades. The pull mechanisms on the shade must work. Also, the hanging frame should be durable so the shade will last.

Search for a manufacturer that gives you warranty on the shades. This will make the parts easier to secure later. The bamboo shades you purchased should be the exact same size of your window or it would look awkward if it turns out too big or too small.

Benefiting From Cellular Shades

Filed Under (Blackout Window Blinds, Blinds Shades, Cellular shades, Cheap Mini Blinds, Curtains Blinds, Window Blinds) by Chris Stanley on 08-03-2010

Impatience during the shopping process can lead to overlooking fantastic options. This is especially true when it comes to shopping in the window coverings industry. Consumers tend to go with what they know and what they’re used to and this can lead to missing products that could provide excellent benefits like cellular shades.

Some of the defining characteristics that are noticeable about cellular shades follow:

1. Energy efficiency is a great benefit. Many are looking for any way to decrease their monthly expenditures during the recession. And investment in cellular shades would result in a decrease of the energy usage as it is one of the best energy efficiency products on the window coverings market. The most energy efficient variety of cellular shades are those with bigger pleats or the triple celled products.

2. Versatility is another important feature of cellular shades. A lot of consumers have a fixed idea in their minds about window coverings. That is the idea that to open the covering you pull the bottom of the shade up. With cellular shades this isn’t the case. They can be opened up or down. It’s called top down bottom up. This makes the options when attempting light control and privacy…extensive.

3. Cellular shades are made from honeycomb fabric. Honeycomb fabric comes in hundreds of designs, colors, and patterns. This is a great design advantage.

4. Another positive of the honeycomb product manufacturers use to create cellular shades is that they offer versatile light control. They can provide a nice, muted light. And the product can also provide total darkness. It all depends on consumer needs.

5. Cellular shades come in different varieties: single cell, double cell, and triple cell. Some have design requirements that lead them to one or the other, but most consider this option in relation to energy efficiency. The triple celled products are the most energy efficient.

6. The pleat size on cellular shades varies by product choice. The size of the pleats can be desirable for design taste. An important aspect to remember is that the bigger the pleat in the product the more insulation power it carries.

Cellular shades are unarguably one of the most energy efficient window shades on the market. They’re probably one of the most energy efficient window coverings in general, as well. They’re sometimes called honeycomb shades due to the fabric used in manufacturing, but regardless of what name they are given by consumers…the important thing is to know the benefits of the product. Knowing the benefits of the product will lead consumers to the window covering products that most adequately suit their needs.

How To Clean Your Vinyl Mini Blinds

Filed Under (Blackout Window Blinds, Blinds Shades, Cheap Mini Blinds, Curtains Blinds) by Chris Stanley on 05-03-2010

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Vinyl mini blinds are in a large portion of residences across America. They have been a consistently popular choice for years and they will continue to be a consistently popular choice for years to come. Why are they so popular? They’re popular because they’re affordable.

Affordable products on today’s market can ensure that they’re the hottest commodity available. Another aspect of the window covering world that is given special importance during times of recession is maintenance and cleaning. Consumers recognize the benefit of increased life available through proper maintenance during times when budgets are tighter. Vinyl mini blinds are easy to clean. Just follow these simple steps.

1. Feather dust regularly. Most owners find this is easy and convenient and takes care of a majority of the problem.

2. If feather dusting isn’t quite doing the job owners should start with a damp rag. Running the rag gently along each slat from side to side will often remove any dirt, dust or debris. Make sure the rag isn’t wet; just damp.

3. If a damp rag process still leaves debris on the blinds it’s time to remove them from their installation position. Taking them down will allow owners to lay them out in an appropriate outdoor area to spray them off with a household hose for more intensive cleaning.

4. In situations where there is no appropriate outdoor area to spray off the products owners should place the dirty vinyl mini blinds in a bathtub filled with warm water and an all purpose cleaner. After soaking for a few minutes the blinds can be jostled around; dirt and debris should wash away fairly easily and quickly.

5. And as a last resort owners can keep the car wash in mind. This would involve transporting wet blinds, but it’s worth it if it saves the vinyl mini blinds from being discarded because they can’t be cleaned. Owners can take advantage of the affordable high power water spraying devices at the car wash to really spray off the blinds.

Proper maintenance (regular dusting and light cleaning) should avoid the need for deep cleaning in the majority of situations. But many owners find it convenient that they have the possibility to remove the products from their installed positions in order to clean them more thoroughly if the need arises. Manufacturers have designed the product to ensure that the removal of the product for cleaning purposes is fairly easy and convenient.
