How to Install Exterior Bamboo Blinds for Style and Functionality in Outdoor Spaces

 Bamboo Blinds  add texture to any room and are a great alternative to traditional synthetic blinds. These window coverings offer a wide range of options to fit almost any decor style. They are a great option for homeowners who want to increase the organic beauty of their home without breaking the bank.

Bamboo Blinds

These bamboo blinds (also known as woven wood shades) are made from renewable and sustainable materials, so you can feel good about choosing them for your home. They also come in a variety of colors, textures and weaves so you can find the perfect fit for your space.

Window blinds mounted

You can choose to have these window blinds mounted inside or outside of the window frame. For inside mounts, you’ll need to make sure that your window casing is deep enough for the shade to sit behind. To determine if your window is suitable for an inside mount, check the minimum mounting surface requirements on the product’s informational page. Outside mounts hang on the wall and cover the window molding. Most people prefer to mount them six to 12 inches above the window frame, which can create the illusion of taller windows and allow natural light to filter in even when they are rolled up.

woven bamboo shades can be upgraded 

Like many other window treatments, woven bamboo shades can be upgraded with a liner to enhance their light control, privacy and style. They can be lined with either a light diffusion or blackout liner, which can help to better match your home’s lighting scheme. Light diffusion lines allow more natural light to filter in, which is ideal for common areas, while the blackout liners provide a complete darkness that works well in bedrooms or home theaters.

Benefit of using a liner 

Another benefit of using a liner with your woven Bamboo Blinds is that it can block out the sound and reduce the amount of noise you hear from outside. This can be a great feature for those living in busy areas, or who live with young children or pets. Some woven bamboo blinds offer a liners that operate independently from the front-facing fabric, while others such as the Provenance woven wood shade can include both a liner and front-facing material for maximum flexibility in your light control.

Woven bamboo shades

The color of your woven bamboo shades can be enhanced with a choice of stain finishes. Lighter finishes are great for a more natural look, while darker stains can add to the depth of your window coverings. For added durability, you can choose to have these woven window blinds treated with UV protection, which helps to protect the colors from fade and wear over time.

Conclusion

Another popular option for these woven window blinds is a cordless lift, which eliminates the lifting cords and makes it safer for your family. This option can also be paired with a top-down/bottom-up lift for additional privacy and light control options. You can also choose to have these woven window shades with a continuous cord loop, which keeps the lifting cords out of reach and prevents them from becoming tangled.
