Bamboo blinds are the eco friendly ways of adding shade to your room. You can replace the curtains and venetian blinds with these giving a trendy look and adding more comfort to your life.
Reed bamboo is normally used to manufacture the products because these are strong and durable. In order to get a good finish and shine for the finished products, the bamboo is dried first and then chemically treated. This process also increases the product life.
These blinds can be used anywhere in the house, be it the bed room, drawing room, dining room or kitchen. You may have to make some minor design changes to ensure that the blinds suit the requirement of the room. For example while choosing a blind for your bedroom ensures that the gap between the subsequent slats are covered so that the light doesn't trickle through the gap much before you are ready to wake up.
The bamboo blinds are fast replacing the metal and plastic ones because they are inexpensive, durable, eco friendly and give a natural look. Further these blinds are maintenance free and are easy to install and remove simply by following the installation guide supplied with the blind. These are available in different shades and they are weather resistant too.
The bamboo blinds do not need any special protective coating for all weather conditions. The only care you need to take is to rotate the side which is exposed to the sun so that any discoloring taking place on the sheets is not uneven. These blinds give a totally different look to the windows which is natural and pleasing to the eye.
There are two type of blinds used for the outdoor use. One is the roll type where the blind is rolled up and fastened on the top using straps. The second one is the string type where strings are used to push the blind up and then tied together.
