Woven Blinds As Contemporary Window Shades
There are many people who prefer blinds to curtains for window covering at home, while in commercial buildings blinds are the norm rather than curtains. For many home owners the standard window covering will be fabric curtains, but even then some will prefer to use residential roman, vinyl or woven blinds or other type of shades in certain rooms. The bathroom and kitchen are the most popular rooms for blinds rather than the ubiquitous curtains.
If you are not familiar with the blind and shade market, having always used only curtains, you can be forgiven for thinking that woven blinds are some sort of fabrics. That is not the case though. Blinds that are described as woven are more likely to be based on wood, usually in the form of slats, panels or even matchstick size pieces of wood that are woven together. It is wise to have a good look around on the Internet to see what some of these types of blinds look like. Once you have some idea, then a look through Yellow Pages will give you somewhere to go and have a look at what is available locally.
You will find all blinds have one thing in common and that is blind cord, and that can be the weak point with many blinds. The blinds themselves may look very impressive, but if the cord is not good or poorly installed, then those blinds will soon get on your nerves as you struggle to get them flowing smoothly upon opening and closing. For that reason you may prefer to have new woven blinds installed professionally with a cord system that you have seen working well in the showroom and have tried yourself.
If you are inclined towards DIY and have the temperament to install the blinds and cord yourself, then by all means give it a try. There are plenty of attractive woven blinds online. For example, Steve’s Exclusive Collection has some interesting designs such as Wood Planks Leshan Natural SB10104 Narrow wood slats. Another supplier is Kirsch, and their Woven Wood Shades Reeds Imperial Reeds temple 81979 Bamboo and matchsticks wrapped with cording is just one example of the range. Another type of woven wood blinds is the wood panel type, and the modern Bali range includes panel blinds, as well as many other styles from wood and vinyl.
