Woven Blinds

There are different types of woven blinds. Among the most common of these blinds are woven wood, woven grass, and woven bamboo.

Woven blinds made of wood make use of narrow sticks. That is why they are also called matchstick blinds. These well-smoothened sticks are tightly woven together and hence make a good insulator.

Woven blinds made of grass or reeds usually have optional room darkening liners for privacy. But if you want them as is, these blinds provide for a cool ambience. They also allow you to see outlines of the outside scenery through the narrow slits.

Woven blinds made of bamboo are the preferred types of matchstick blinds as they are easier to form into narrow sticks. They are also generally more pliant than most woods.

Some woven blinds are made up of a collection of sticks and grass with varying sizes for a more natural look. To further accentuate the natural look, natural and man-made fibers are used to weave the pieces together.

In most cases, the lift cord is located between the valance and the blind material and is typically of the same fibers as the ones used to weave the pieces together. Otherwise, if of a different material, it is painted so as to make it blend with the blind’s colors.
