Benefits Of Bamboo Roman Shades
Bamboo Roman shades are a fantastic way to add warmth and modernize look to your home. They are eco friendly, versatile, and beautiful. If you’re interested in them, check out bamboo shades from Budget Blinds of Tempe. These shades fuse eco-friendly materials, including bamboo, reeds, jutes, and grasses, with a variety of designs that can be integrated into the perfect customized window treatment. From Roman style to a more streamlined flat style, bamboo shades combine the natural beauty of organic materials with inspired design for a refined, relaxed look to any room.
In actuality, most bamboo shades are Roman shade by default. The main difference is what they are made of — not all Roman shades are bamboo, but most bamboo shades are Roman.
Most bamboo shades are actually roman shades made from natural materials such as bamboo, reeds, rope, etc rather than the fabric used for roman shades.
They are very versatile in use, color, and style. In fact, you can change up and enhance the lighting in your home too. Dark hues, such as olive or mahogany, are excellent choices for roll-up bamboo blinds that are meant to block most light, while cream-colored hues are better for letting in a lot of natural light and adding extra depth to your windows.
A Quick Look at the Benefits of Bamboo Roman Blinds
Bamboo Roman blinds have a ton of benefits to them. Here’s a quick look at them:
- Bamboo shades are made from 100% organic, eco-friendly materials
- They can both let in natural light or block out all light
- Bamboo shades are extremely versatile when mixing and matching different styles and textures
- Bamboo window shades are available in top-down/bottom-up options and can be motorized for added safety and convenience.
- Stylish valances are available for an added dimension and design flair.
- Bamboo shades can be customized to fit awkward sized windows such as arched, hexagons, octagons, and angled windows.
Eco-Friendly Materials
Bamboo products are eco-friendly as long as they haven’t been chemically processed. Bamboo is highly sustainable because it grows very quickly, is easy to grow, and is easy to harvest. In fact, bamboo can grow 10 mm (36 in) within a 24-hour period!
Bamboo is also 100% natural! This means that it degrades quickly and doesn’t leave much of a carbon footprint.
So to summarize, bamboo is:
- Biodegradable
- Easy to grow
- Grows quickly — a full stalk takes 3-5 years to reach full growth, compared to a tree’s 10-20 years
- Protects soil structure and keep them intact
- It has antibacterial properties (so they last longer, naturally!)
- Sturdy and sustainable
Bamboo is Durable
Bamboo may look a lot more delicate than trees, but looks can be deceiving. Bamboo is actually one of the strongest natural materials on the planet. In addition to it being strong, it is quite flexible and doesn’t break easily.
In terms of holding its color, bamboo fades in the sunlight. However, the fading happens very slowly so you may not even notice that it is happening.
If you opt for a carbonized bamboo, know that it is more likely to fade or get lighter in color over time. Natural bamboo tends to get darker instead of lighter as time goes on.
Bamboo is Low Maintenance
Bamboo Roman shades are extremely low maintenance because they’re easy to clean.
Each week, all you need to do is dust it with a cloth or use the brush attachment on your vacuum. This will help keep them shiny. Every once in a while, you can go over it with a mild cleaner and a damp cloth. Be sure to not use too much force when dusting it.
Don’t oversaturate it with water, as it can cause the bamboo to swell. In Arizona, you won’t have to worry about humidity causing this!
Bamboo is Affordable
If you’re on a tight budget, bamboo Roman shades are considerably more affordable than other custom products and materials. Unlike steel and hardwood, which are more expensive and less available, bamboo grows extremely fast, so there’s a bigger supply.
It still looks chic and expensive, without the price tag of using real wood.
