Bamboo Woven Wood Shades

Woven wood shades (also known as bamboo blinds, bamboo shades or natural shades) are window coverings made from natural materials like bamboo, rattan, jute, reeds and grasses. These materials are woven together to create a textured, organic look that adds warmth and a natural look to any space.

While woven wood shades have a natural, light-filtering design, you can add a blackout liner for light control and privacy. This makes them perfect for bedrooms, nurseries or media rooms.

The natural weave of bamboo and woven wood shades can allow some light to filter through, which might compromise privacy. To enhance privacy, add the optional privacy or blackout liner.

Yes, woven wood shades can help improve energy efficiency by adding a layer of insulation to your windows. The natural materials help regulate indoor temperatures by blocking heat in the summer and retaining warmth in the winter. For even greater insulation, add a thermal liner.

While the natural materials of bamboo blinds are durable, they can be susceptible to moisture-related issues such as warping or mildew. Therefore, you may want to select another type of window treatment (e.g. faux wood blinds, roller shades) for high-humidity areas like bathrooms.

Since all window treatments at Select Blinds Canada are custom-made to your exact measurements and specifications, the price of bamboo blinds depends on several factors. These include the width and height of your window, the material, and optional features such as motorization, privacy liners, valances, or the no-drill installation headrail.

For an inside mount, measure the exact width of the inside of your window frame at the top, middle, and bottom, and use the narrowest measurement. For the height, measure at the left, center, and right, and use the longest measurement.

For an outside mount, measure the desired width and height of the area you want to cover, and add up to 4 inches to ensure complete coverage and light control.
