Home Woven Wood Blinds

By Jamie Barker


Homes and offices all over the world use window blinds for window treatment. As a matter of fact when people refer to the covering of windows they are inclined to use the term 'window blinds'. The reference to window blind can mean roman blinds, vertical blinds, horizontal blinds, shutters or roller blinds. Window blinds use different systems and materials and the slats that they have can be made from wood, metal or fabric. The best blinds are those that are made from a single material and this includes the category of woven wood blinds.

There is a warmth and pleasing look given by woven wooden blinds. There are some of these blinds that are quite often finished with a rich coat of decorative paint. It is best that you buy blinds that are custom made as they would make a perfect fit for your window and also function much better.

Woven wood blinds are available in a wide variety of colors and styles. From a light finish to a dark stain, the color of the blinds can be purchased to match the room and your personality. Bamboo blinds are a popular choice due to bamboo being a quickly renewing resource. Also, the Roman Shade is often used as a window treatment blind because of the ease of raising and lowering them. Most woven wood blinds can be custom-ordered to fit any size window.

Woven wood blinds provide homes with protection for the damaging summer sun. One of the major problems homes owners deal with is the fading of furniture and carpet where sunlight hits it. By installing blinds, these areas of your home are protected because the blind filters out the harmful rays.

Closing of the slats from a rotating drum is possible in the case of horizontal window blinds that may have slats that are woven. On the other hand vertical window blinds have wide slats. A cord helps to stack all the slats together, and this stack is created at the center or the sides.
