<p>It is a dream for many of us to travel to tropical countries to indulge in the exoticness and extravagant natural beauty that they have to offer. Bamboo shades are the most sought after products that originate from vast bamboo mangroves located in these tropical regions. The usage and cultivation of bamboo dates back to pre historic times and has carried on without borders into Indian Ocean regions and occidental Asian civilizations. In these tropical and Indian regions, bamboo shades are hand crafted and its basically an art form for the people who are in this business.</p>
<p>These shades nearly prevail in every household that dwells near the or in the regions that receive extensive warm weather with high frequency of sunlight. Normally the bamboo plants thrive in this weather and environmental conditions hence giving the locals an advantage to reap their harvest for their use as well as export it to different countries. Bamboo furnishings, cutlery, utensils, trunk sets etc are all very famous and mainly manufactured and assembled in these regions.</p>
<p>In US, many of the home decor artists and keen homeowners demand and integrate this shade on their home and office windows. This not only gives them a chance to save from high intensity sunlight, but also adds a very delicate decorative ambiance to their interiors.</p>
<p>Bamboo remains the primary constituent of this shade, but nowadays more light weighted woods such as rattan and jute is also being used in manufacturing. However, they get to keep their name and identity as bamboo shades.</p>
<p>The window shades have become extensively available in the US market and you can always stroll downtown to find many home decor retailers who are selling them. You can select these types of shades in pre-set dimensions or you can order a customized one according to your needs and window demands.</p>
<p>The window shades have many available patterns, colors and tones but earthly tone is more prevalent and dominantly used. The reason being that these types of shades are easy to locate and help in associating a very natural character to your window These bamboo shades are also available some times in bold and seemingly artificial colors but normally they don&#8217;t amalgamate fully and fail to cast the natural aura that they do when used in natural shades and colors.</p>
<p>Perhaps the only disadvantage of going for these shades is that they required a high degree of carefulness when handling. Bamboo sticks are extremely fragile and one little hard push can break them that normally are impossible to repair or replace. Apart from that it is not less than a challenge to keep the window shades clean from dust etc.</p>
<p>If you are looking to integrate bamboo shades to your windows then it will be a better idea to get some advice from someone who has already used them. These shades are not very costly and you can get some good deals on the internet as well as your local market.</p>

<p>Bamboo has long been recognized as an extremely durable and useful wood. People across the globe have used it in many different ways. Ranging from food to arts and crafts to pipes this wood has no shortage of uses. We have found superior materials for some things, but even now bamboo is considered top quality in specific products. It is widely used as flooring, and it known to be durable and long lasting. Another of its uses in homes is beautiful window treatments know as bamboo shades.</p>
<p>Matchstick window shades, a common name for bamboo shades, are a woven blend of several natural materials (faux wood options are also available). Cane, jute, rattan, reed, and other grasses are used in addition to the bamboo. How much of which plants are used determines the hue and texture of the finished product. It is also directly related to the steadiness and durability. The plants with a tougher exterior must be separated into small sections to be woven together. This includes the bamboo, cane, and reed.</p>
<p>Maybe you think bamboo shades are only for homes that already have a natural look. However, there are so many different styles and colors available that there is probably one that is a perfect fit for your home too. Besides the many different types you can choose between there are several reasons to consider them instead of traditional window shades or curtains.</p>
<p>There are no new tricks to learn when it comes to installation. Just like window shades small brackets must be attached to the corners of the window. Your shade will hang from these brackets attached simply by wing nuts. This process can be completed in a matter of minutes and requires only a basic drill.</p>
<p>Even easier than installation is maintenance. Since they don&#8217;t trap dirt between the window shades cleaning them is a breeze. They can be cleaned with things you probably already have in your home. A feather duster or a damp sponge are perfect for this job. By simply dusting or wiping weekly you can keep the shades at their best.</p>
<p>Reinventing your whole room can be easily done without ever taking down your window shades. A valance can lend a touch of sophistication or a burst of color to the room. These are so easy to add that you can experiment with different patterns and textures keeping your home decor exciting month after month.</p>
<p>One of the many fantastic things about bamboo shades is the cost. With such a huge variety there is a shade for every budget. You can cover your windows for as low as 15 dollars each.</p>
<p>Shades can be created as custom and specialized as you like. Weather it&#8217;s a special size, odd shape, or hand made all bamboo shades that you are looking for there is something to fit you exact needs.</p>
<p>As if the great price and amazing beauty of bamboo shades was not enough they are also an Eco friendly choice. Costing less to produce than fruits or vegetables bamboo grows at a stunning rate of up to several feet a day. In addition to requiring minimal water and no pesticides bamboo grows in so many different climates that it is farmed throughout the world. These farms put over 30 percent more oxygen into the air than other groups of similar sized trees. Using bamboo products supports are renewable resources.</p>

<p>Bamboo shades and furniture made from bamboo, though inexpensive, are still very stylish. They are also a &#8220;green&#8221; environmentally friendly product that is a renewable resource. Despite looking like and being used like wood, bamboo does not come from a tree. Actually, it is a grass similar to wheat. It is also the fastest growing plant on Earth. Furniture makers have used bamboo for centuries.</p>
<p>Bamboo is a &#8220;green&#8221; environmentally friendly renewable construction material because it can be harvested after only about five years. Hardwood trees in comparison take 50 years or more to harvest. Bamboo plantations do not apply any herbicides, fertilizers or pesticides.</p>
<p>Many different types of furniture are made from bamboo: chairs, sofas, tables, beds, cabinets, dressers and more. It is an ideal material because it is strong and durable. It has a tensile strength of 28,000 per square inch. Bamboo tolerates humidity and moisture better than wood. Unlike wood it will not shrink or swell. The fine grain of bamboo is beautiful and lends a stylish quality to furniture made from it.</p>
<p>Bamboo timber is grown on plantations. The harvested bamboo timber is used to make laminated plywood and bamboo poles. The round stalk is cut into strips and then dried in a kiln. The strips are glued together to make the plywood. Bamboo poles are made from the stalks. Similar to wicker, the bamboo poles can be weaved. The laminated bamboo plywood is used just like any other wood timber.</p>
<p>Many different products use bamboo beside furniture. Fabric and paper can be made from bamboo. Window shades and blinds can use the bamboo fabric. It is an ingredient in Asian cuisine. There are even bamboo musical instruments.</p>
<p>When shopping for bamboo furniture, make sure you only buy authentic bamboo and not imitation bamboo look-a-likes. Check to make sure the bamboo was grown and harvested in an ecologically sound way using natural sustainable techniques. There should not be any toxic materials in veneers or glues. Select pieces that have water-based stains. The very finest bamboo furniture is made by artisans whose families have built bamboo furniture for generations in small villages. You will be contributing to a sound environment if you follow these guidelines.</p>
<p>Bamboo furniture can be both outdoors and indoors. As with any furniture, regular maintenance and cleaning is important. Every two months use a solution of water and a light detergent to wash the furniture. Every six months apply an anti-mildew additive. Use the anti-mildew more frequently if you live in a humid climate. Clean up any spills right away. Dust your furniture at least once a week. Following these tips will keep your bamboo furniture in great shape for years.</p>
<p>When you use bamboo in your home decor you do not need to have an Asian theme. For instance, bamboo shades are stylish and elegant in any contemporary setting. Bamboo furniture is manufactured in many different styles. Because bamboo furniture is very popular there are many styles available that will blend with your existing furniture and window shades. A good approach is to start off with a few small pieces to blend with your existing furniture.</p>

<p>Spring and summer are traditionally the times our spirits soar. But the same sun that allows us to comfortably enjoy outdoor activities can make our homes unbearably hot. Bamboo shades allowing us to moderate the sun and keep our houses cooler. In the evenings, one removes the shades or simply rolls them up. Just as any other type of window shades they give us flexibility in dealing with the sun.</p>
<p>Cheaper than most metal or vinyl shades they are also usually much more reasonably priced. Unlike their vinyl and metal brethren, they do not have to be pre-cut for the window you want to use them on. It gives one greater flexibility when purchasing if it is not necessary to have the exact dimensions. If you find out the window is a different size than you thought it was they can still be used without attaching them to the window permanently.</p>
<p>An advantage to having shades that are not connected to the window frame is that they can be used vertically or horizontally and they can be interchanged between windows. If your house, apartment, or condominium has windows facing the morning, afternoon, and evening sun, the same shades can be moved from one room to the next. This allows one to save because one does not have to purchase separate shades for each and every window.</p>
<p>There are some situations wherein the shades are ideal. If there are rules about the kinds of window shades or shades that can be attached to the apartment, these shades can still be used. By removing and storing them when not needed, it provides the flexibility to use them at any time, as when guests arrive unexpectedly. If one lives in a place that is usually overcast and it suddenly becomes sunny, you are ready.</p>

This is especially important for windows that face directly into the sun during the hottest portions of the day. They are not complicated, easy to move around, and actually add character to the look of a house by adding a slight Oriental touch.</p>
<p>Because bamboo grows naturally in a forest they have a natural protection against the ultraviolet rays of the sun. This is not to say that the sun has no effect only that they are resistant and will last a long time. I simply cleaning them and storing them in a cool dark place it can be used year after year.</p>
<p>They are also a green resource. They are ecological because they are also from a renewable source. As they are a natural fiber, when one is finished with them they can usually be composted either in the city or in your own backyard.

<p>Bamboo shades can be used in a variety of ways in the home. Inside, the can serve as window shades in an informal room. Outside, they can provide a shaded retreat on a patio, porch or veranda. The shades effectively block sunlight and provide privacy. Made of bamboo, the shades are also a green alternative for providing comfort to your family.</p>
<p>Bamboo is a quick growing grass that may increase in height by as much as a foot each day. Many shades use young immature bamboo that has grown quickly. Once the canes are harvested, more are produced regularly. Bamboo, while growing, lowers greenhouse gases and is much more environmentally friendly than is anything made of plastic. It is a renewable resource and its growth provides jobs for persons needing work.</p>
<p>Bamboo canes can be used whole or they may be split to make the shades. The least expensive shades use whole immature canes that are sewn together to form the shades. Larger canes can be cut to make flat slats for shades. The shade is raised or lowered using a cord. The rolled shade is stored at the bottom of the shade and the cord may be secured using a cord catch or by tying it off to hold the shades in place. Bamboo can even be made into some very nice mini window shades by use of split bamboo for the slats of the window shades.</p>
<p>The least expensive shades are those which use the canes to form the shade. Un-split bamboo is very resistant to water so the shades can be used on the outside. Additionally, the air space between the canes allow the shades to be left in the down position while a gentle breeze continues to circulate through the bamboo. If the winds become gusty, you should retract the shades to protect them from wind damage.</p>
<p>During the winter months, it is a good idea to store bamboo shades used outside in a dry storage area. Moisture is not a problem during the warmer months as it will dry quickly. During the winter, however, moisture may collect on the canes and fabric portions of the window shades and remain there long enough that mold begins to form. The mold can be unhealthy and can ruin the appearance of the window shades.</p>
<p>Bamboo is great for use in the home too. Shades can be easily hung to provide a room divider or privacy in one area of a shared room. Bamboo is available in many colors. It may be bleached to almost white. It can be heat treated to bring out some of the unique characteristics of the material. It may also be stained just like wood to almost any color imaginable.</p>
<p>These shades filter the light. They do not completely block out all the light, so if the sun is a problem, you may want to make another choice. They are a good choice if just the glare of the light is a problem. Installation out of the home allows the heat to be kept outside and not trapped between the window and its covering.</p>
<p>Bamboo shades are an inexpensive way to lower cooling cost for your home during the summer. They are made of renewable resources.</p>

<p>Are you shopping for window shades or window shades? You may be overwhelmed by all of the choices. One option is bamboo shades. Many people think of something crude or basic when they think of bamboo. However, they may need to rethink. There are a lot of good things to say about bamboo material and bamboo window shades. Here are just a few.</p>
<p>The amazing bamboo plant</p>
<p>Bamboo is a very strong material. It has been used for things like flooring and to reinforce concrete. It is also a renewable resource as the bamboo plant grows very fast. That also makes it very good for ecology minded individuals. It is an integral part of the lives of many Asian people.</p>

Bamboo baskets come in all shapes and sizes can be found most places. All types of cookware and eating utensils are made from this amazing plant. You may have fished with a bamboo fishing pole. It if can be made from wood, it can be made from bamboo.</p>
<p>Bamboo has been used for medicine for a very long time. Many Asian dishes have bamboo sprouts in them. Bamboo is eaten in many places all over the world every day.</p>
<p>Is it no wonder that window shades can come from bamboo? Here are some of the advantages of bamboo window shades.</p>
<p>Privacy</p>
<p>Bamboo window shades offer a perfect privacy scenario. When they are down, you can walk up to them and see out. Others outside cannot see through your window. This means not having to raise them just to see outside.</p>
<p>Stay Warm</p>
<p>Bamboo window shades have an insulating effect on the room. You will feel a little but more comfortable. And your energy bill may be lower, also.</p>
<p>Fade resistant</p>
<p>Many types of material will fade in sunlight over time. You would want to replace plastic or fabric shades, for example, once they fade. The sun&#8217;s natural ability to penetrate does not have the same effect on bamboo.</p>
<p>Calming effect</p>
<p>Bamboo has a calming effect on many people. Walk into a room with bamboo shades and you might think you entered a Zen garden. This affect can mean a better overall experience with bamboo window shades.</p>
<p>Filtering Sunlight</p>
<p>Bamboo window shades have a natural ability to filter light. You can also get them as privacy window shades.</p>
<p>A lot of different uses</p>
<p>Bamboo window shades are used in a number of ways. You can often see them outside on decks and porches. People have used them against posts for privacy fencing. They can also be set up to hide things like air conditioner units. You can get ones that work with a pull string. In addition, they can also unfold.</p>
<p>Simple cleaning</p>
<p>Bamboo can be wiped off. There usually will be no need to take them down, as with other shades.</p>
<p>The price will not be a big factor</p>
<p>Disadvantages of bamboo shades</p>
<p>Bamboo has few if any disadvantages. The inexpensive ones may be prone to breakage. Some people may not like the look of bamboo shades.</p>
<p>In closing</p>
<p>Bamboo is a good material for window shades. They come in a lot of possibilities. Maybe you want strong and durable window shades? Consider bamboo shades.</p>

<p>Purchasing and installing bamboo shades provide you with lots of advantages. It&#8217;s no wonder why interior designers and homeowners themselves are going for this particular window covering these days. They give your room a touch of style, and they&#8217;re also budget- and eco-friendly too.</p>
<p>These window shades come in different styles. Some are fashioned out of small pieces, like matchsticks, tightly woven together. Some are made with flat pieces of bamboo, making them look like conventional blinds. They may be used alone to achieve a natural and minimalist look. But they may also be used in conjunction with drapes to complete a certain look you&#8217;re trying to accomplish.</p>
<p>Because they&#8217;re all natural, slight variances in color is present. This property gives them the unmistakable character and charm all their own. It&#8217;s not unlikely that you may encounter others which are dyed, or with a design or scene painted on them. These days, finding the right ones that suit your personality, taste and home is not hard to achieve.</p>
<p>These shades are very much affordable. But despite of this, they don&#8217;t look cheap. And it&#8217;s not only during shopping for them that you get to maintain a certain budget. Bamboo shades are great for maximizing the use of natural lighting during daytime. It permits sunlight into your room, whether these window shades are rolled up or down. This way, there&#8217;s minimal need for artificial lighting during the day. So your monthly electric bills are also kept to a minimum.</p>
<p>They are also highly durable, and that&#8217;s another money-saving feature since you need not replace them frequently. Remember that bamboo is a long-lasting and resilient plant. It&#8217;s able to withstand harsh weather conditions in areas where they thrive best. Heat, humidity, rain &#8211; you name it, the plant can resist it. And this natural durability is carried on, even in its window covering form.</p>
<p>High sustainability is another thing that makes bamboo a great material for shades, as well as for other furnishings. In as little as 5 years, the plant is ready for harvest. And when cut, the main plant can grow over and over again. Hardwood takes a lot of years to grow. That&#8217;s why going for these types of window treatment is simply guilt-free. In addition, they&#8217;re completely biodegradable and emit no toxins to the air.</p>
<p>When going shopping, make sure you take precise measurements of your windows where you wish to install them. This way, what you&#8217;ll be getting can provide the full line of benefits you&#8217;re expecting to get from them. They are available in a variety of sizes, perfect for standard-sized windows. When it comes to installation, even you yourself can set them up in a breeze.</p>
<p>Maintaining them is also simple, perfect for anyone with a busy lifestyle. For regular cleaning, a feather duster or soft cloth will do the trick. A vacuum with a duster attachment is also great. Bamboo shades will add a touch of style and completion in any room. From traditional, rustic, casual to modern &#8211; any room will benefit from bamboo&#8217;s unmistakable charm. They&#8217;re also fantastic for use in the patio, porch, lanai and the like.</p>

<p>Over the past few years, bamboo shades have became quite a popular option. The biggest reason this has happened is because bamboo can easily fit in to almost any room theme. For those of you that have so far remained undecided about if you would like to buy window shades like these or not, you will find some very helpful information below about them.</p>
<p>Bamboo shades are generally manufactured of from lightweight materials which make them much easier to work with as well as far less likely to break the hanging hardware. Because this lightweight construction is so visible, they also bring a calming feel to rooms they are in.</p>
<p>Shades made of bamboo have a very natural appearance. For rooms with natural themes or ones filled with potted plants, they blend in well. A lot of homeowners love this type of theme because it gives the room an energizing and calming feeling.</p>
<p>They require minimal maintenance as well. You won&#8217;t need any specialized cleaners or cleaning tools and the best part is that you won&#8217;t have to take them down for cleaning. A simple dusting or quick sweep with a vacuum is enough to keep them as clean as the rest of the house.</p>
<p>Bamboo shades can also filter out natural light rather well. Only tiny amounts of light can get through the small slats of the woven shades. You can make the best of natural light with certain models of these window shades to. This can result in saving energy because you reduce the amount of artificial light you need to use in the room.</p>
<p>Originally, these window shades were made from simple bamboo strips that had been woven together, but now there are more modernized options available. If you are looking for more privacy you can install liners on them. A special type of liner can also be used to keep heat from entering your house so that you can reduce energy costs.</p>
<p>There are a variety of options when it comes to these window shades as well. You can find flat or matchstick window shades or even ones that look like Roman shades. A cascading pleat in a Roman shade tends to be a favorite of many.</p>
<p>You can use them outdoor too because of their lightweight construction. This completely removed the limits that other types of window shades have. Try installing them on your deck or patio for a cool and natural place to relax in the summer weather.</p>
<p>One thing you do need to be aware of, though, is that because they are so light in construction they often aren&#8217;t as durable as other types. The brand you buy has a lot to do with this also. You should only purchase window shades from a company that is trusted and well known in the industry if you want the most bang for your buck. Look for companies that offer things like a warranty or some other type of guarantee to ensure you are getting the best quality.</p>
<p>When you choose to go with a more reliable company you also get the benefit of great customer service along with your purchase. This can mean a lot when you encounter problems installing or maintaining your window shades.</p>
