Go Green With Bamboo!

“GO GREEN WITH BAMBOO!”

 

Did you know that by choosing our Bamboo Roman Shades you are effortlessly "going green"? Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet. Some bamboo plants have grown to over 4 feet in 24 hours! A pole of bamboo can regenerate to its full mass in just six months. Bamboo can be continuously re-harvested every 3 years without damaging its eco-system and surrounding environment. During the time it takes to regenerate, the bamboo plant's root system stays intact preventing erosion. Continuous harvesting of this woody grass every 3-7 years actually improves the overall health of the plant.

Bamboo Roman Shades are versatile in terms of installation. They can be installed inside or outside the window frame depending on your preference. They also come in a variety of custom sizes to fit virtually any window. Rich and vibrant, Bamboo Roman Shades add a rustic elegance to any room.

Bamboo Roman Shades are different from other types of window coverings in that they stack and fold (roman style) into even sized panels when the shade is lifted. When lowered, they create a relatively smooth appearance. Bamboo Roman Shades are raised and lowered with a cord system. The cord can be pulled until the roman shades reaches the desired height, allowing portions of the window to be exposed while blocking out other areas. If you are worried about the kiddies playing near the shade, no need to fret. We include retro-fit kits with select bamboo shades making them cordless.

Durable, beautiful, and environmentally friendly are just a few words used to describe our Bamboo Roman Shades. So choose one of our custom bamboo shades today; the planet will thank you and you'll love the results in your home!

How To Troubleshooting Wood Blinds

How To Troubleshooting Wood Blinds

  1. Face the front of the blind toward you. Look for the pull cord mechanism located on the right side of the blind.

 

  2. The back of the pull cord mechanism should be in the center of the hole.

 

 

  3. Once it is centered, check the cord mechanism from the top of the headrail. Make sure the cord mechanism is secured tight to the headrail.

 

 

  4. Check to see if the small hardware piece (circled below) is locked in place. It should be at the bottom of the cord mechanism.

 

 

 

  1. This is the correct position it should be in.

The Great Outdoors

Isn’t it relaxing to be able to enjoy a hot summer day on your porch? Maybe curl up on a porch swing with a good book and a cold glass of lemonade. If you asked me that question a few years ago, I would’ve said “no”. Where I live here in Georgia, you’ve got the sun glaring down at a high intensity giving you an uneven tan; and occasionally the wind blows rain showers on the porch. That is why I looked for a product that is resistant to many of the weather conditions “Mother Nature” throws our way...yet stylish at the same time.

Our Exterior Basswood Rollup Shades are a perfect product to consider for outdoor use. They are made from a rust-resistant hardwood designed to withstand the elements.  The heavy duty cording that controls the shade provides trouble free operation for ease of use.

Offered in four early American colors (green, tan, redwood, and white), our Exterior Basswood Rollup Shades gives your porch a modern contemporary look. After the easy installation, just kick back in privacy and enjoy peace of mind. All there is to worry about is which book to read next. 

Happy Shopping!
