Offering a one-of-a-kind look at the window as well as eco-friendly benefits, bamboo shades are quickly becoming a popular window treatment. As you begin shopping for bamboo shades, here are some facts about bamboo that can help steer you in the right direction.
While most people think of bamboo as a tree, bamboo is actually a type of grass. It’s also one of the fastest-growing plants on the planet and one of the world’s most renewable resources. Bamboo is harvested in five to seven years, whereas a tree can take decades to reproduce itself. Shades made with bamboo are an eco-friendly choice: Instead of requiring fertilizer or pesticides for growth, bamboo gets all its nutrients from its discarded leaves.
As one of the most durable substances in nature, bamboo can withstand a variety of weather conditions. Therefore, bamboo shades are less likely to warp over time. Made from natural woods, reeds, grasses and bamboo, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are specifically designed to minimize stretching, bowing, breaking and fading.
Bamboo window treatments work well with almost any décor, whether island-inspired, modern, Mediterranean, farmhouse or traditional Victorian.
