Bamboo Shades: Why Manufacture with Bamboo?

By Chris Stanley

Bamboo is a traditionally central aspect of Asian design and art. But it is also an increasingly popular product used in the manufacturing of window coverings. Bamboo shades are often recognized by designers and window covering professionals as offering a uniquely natural element to the design flavor of any room while providing durable functionality that keeps up with the competition. Bamboo shades are often seen as having a wide variety of advantages in comparison to other, similar products on the market.

1. The versatile nature of bamboo shades make them a choice for many. They provide the finishing touch needed for a wide array of design styles. They can easily be added to a room based on a minimalist design style. They can just as easily be added to an elegant, up scale designed space. (For instance in combination with heavy, silk drapes).

2. Variety is an important benefit of bamboo shades. They come in almost any size to fit almost any window. They come in countless colors and/or stains. They can be ordered in either roll up or folding styles depending upon the needs and desires of the consumer.

3. Bamboo is one of the most natural and eco-friendly materials currently used for window coverings. The basic concept is that rather than reaching for a wood product you are reaching for a much more renewable product. Bamboo shoots mature after 5 years rather than the long term aspect of replacing hardwood that has been removed for consumer needs.

4. Affordable price tags make bamboo shades a popular option for a very different, but just as important reason. When compared to other, similar products on the market, the bamboo shade offers a lot of style and function for the price. And in a tough economy there are a lot of consumers that are looking for this particular advantage.

5. Bamboo shades are durable. Bamboo obviously has to withstand weather conditions naturally. So it's no surprise that the window covering products made of bamboo exhibit the same natural ability to withstand weather conditions (especially harsh sunlight). This is one of the obvious reasons that led blinds manufacturers to use bamboo in their products.

The popularity of bamboo shades continues to increase. The more popular bamboo products become the more manufacturers cater to the demand and offer new, bamboo based products. So consumers are seeing no shortage of exciting, new possibilities when it comes to bamboo shades and blinds on the market. - 31366
