Benefits Of Bamboo Roller Shades, Woven Wood Shades And Sliding Panels

By Brian Light

There is a huge appeal to using bamboo in homes. It's environmentally friendly. It's sustainable. It helps preserve forests of oak, pine and maple. Because of how quickly it grows - several inches per day, there's no need to worry about bamboo going extinct. Bamboo also gives an exotic feel to houses and office spaces. There is a Pacific Island feel that comes with woven bamboo products.

One popular line of quality bamboo window treatment products is Tavarua. Tavarua manufactures bamboo roller shades, basic bamboo shades and sliding panels. Each product has a slightly different look and feel, but they compliment many different interior designs. Bamboo is biodegradable so they won't end up sitting in landfills for hundreds of years. They have different patterns, bringing together elegance and style with practical light blocking properties.

The Tavarua Sunscreen Bamboo Roller Shades are available in three different bamboo styles, each offering a different openness factor, as well as a wide variety of colors and stains. The various shades include the Akita with a 20% openness factor, Bamboo Palm with a tighter weave of 10% openness and Sendai, which offers the most privacy with only an 8% openness factor. Each window shade comes standard with a visible roll. For those who prefer a bamboo valance to hide the roll, an upgrade is available.

Bamboo, similar to a weed, can grow in almost any climate without requiring pesticides or insecticides. Bamboo is generally a rain-fed crop, meaning it requires no additional water to grow than what is already in the environment.

Tavarua also offers what they call the 'Basic Bamboo Shade.' Even though they use the word basic, these are anything but. They offer elegance, beauty and a unique style for any room. These blinds are intended for rooms that are high up or are simply trying to block the sun's glare, or offer a little shade. Because of the woven pattern, they are not recommended as privacy blinds.

The basic blinds come in three different selections that include woven wood shades, exotic woven wood shades and designer woven wood shades. They come with the option of edge bindings for a complimentary or contrasting accent point. Privacy liners can be added, and are great for keeping a fun, tropical feel while being able to offer the security of privacy.

Bamboo Ring Drapery. Bamboo Ring Drapery is made with standard size ring grommets. They are available in a variety of colors and patterns to suit any room beautifully. Each bamboo drapery is bound on all four sides with edge binding at no additional charge. This helps protect the woven wood drapes from damage as well as adding a touch of color to decor. Each vertical bamboo drapery comes with two panels for center opening. Due to the weight, it is expected that the drapery rod will need a center support.

The last product to discuss is the Exotic Bamboo Sliding Panel. These slide open and fold up one behind the next. They bring a soft seductive ambiance to any room.

The environmental qualities of a product are becoming increasingly important to consumers. It's no surprise that the line of Tavarua Bamboo products has taken off. It's nice to know there are economic, attractive, sustainable and biodegradable products on the market.
