Many times customers and businesses use the terms blind and shade synonymously. So when it comes to a Bamboo window treatment, this mixing of verbiage can cause confusion. Even we use the term interchangeable ways since and actual shade is usually what customers are looking for even if they search for bamboo blinds. So what is the difference? A shade is usually a piece of fabric or in this case, woven wood (bamboo, grass, reed, fabric, etc) that is raised and lowered in either a roman style, or a roll-up style (the former being more elegant generally). A blind, however, indicates thee are slats that tilt open and closed, like venetian blinds, mini blinds, etc, there are slats, made solely or primarily with bamboo. These slats may have a woven look, or may look very similar to a basswood blind - depending on how they are manufactured. True bamboo window blinds are much more of a niche product, since they are usually a bit more expensive than bass wood blinds, yet look similar (although they are ‘greener’); whereas, bamboo shades are quite en vogue with designers right now, who often dress a window with a combination of a bamboo shade, and colorful drapery panel set.

Hopefully this helps explain the difference, but if you still have any questions, give us a call and we’d be happy to discuss with you in more detail!

With home heating costs this season estimated to go through the roof, there are viable ways to maximize the energy efficiency of your home with the proper window coverings.

Hitting home for many families is the ever-increasing cost of energy.  If you live in a cold climate you are probably feeling the pinch of fuel costs even if they are a bit down from earlier in the year.  I lived in Pennsylvania for many years and I was acutely aware of this.  It seemed that every winter the prices just kept going up.

Cellular shades can actually pay for themselves with the money saved in energy cost.  In today’s economy it’s definitely a wise economic decision.

Now more than ever we are offering the ultimate combination of quality, affordability, convenience and SPEED!

1. Take your blind down and take the old pull-cord out.
2. Next feed your new pull cord through the cord lock and out through the top-rail.
3. Next feed the cord through each slat without putting the cord through the ladder (that holds and tilts the slats)
4. Once it is through the bottom rail, push it through the button under the bottom rail and tie a not large enough so that it does not pull through your blinds again.
5. Hang it back up on your wall and make the final length adjustments to ensure that the cord is inline with the other cords on your blind.

Why do our customers love bamboo products so much? The bamboo shade is a very exciting product that is becoming a big hit among home owners and decorators alike.

I guess it’s because bamboo looks so nice in just about any environment — and it’s also true that items made from bamboo will be very durable. That means that purchasing blinds made from bamboo will prove to be a good value, sometimes long outlasting similar blinds made from other materials.
