Bamboo – From Flooring To Blinds To Clothing…It’s So Versatile

BambooGalore — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:03:08 +0000

Bamboo has been around for a long, long time and it's uses have been wide and varied. From ancient times right through to modern day, bamboo has fascinated people with it's versatility.

From flooring to window shades; from fishing rods and clothing - bamboo amazes with it's varied and wide range of uses. A case study close to home: my neighbor decided he wanted to create some extra privacy to his home when an apartment development bordered his property. I suggested a row of bamboo along his fence line and he took my advice. Within a few short months, he had a thriving hedge of bamboo plants creating the privacy he was after. Problem solved.

Bamboo - A Way Of Life In Some Cultures

In many parts of the world bamboo provides the raw materials in people's day-to-day lives. These days, industry is also making use of bamboo, particularly in the construction area; house-frames, walls and roofs... you name it and bamboo can more than likely be adapted to it. What about music? Bamboo instruments have been making music right around the world; flutes, fiddles and drums, just to name three.

Some bamboo variety can shoot to 35 to 40 meters in height making them the largest grass species in the world. Some varieties will spring to just a half a meter but short or high, they produce woody perennial stems, a key to their much sought after use.

Bamboo Flooring

In recent years, western society has taken a shine to bamboo flooring. Providing a great finish and known for it's tough qualities, bamboo flooring has rapidly gained popularity during the past decade.

The use of bamboo flooring is catching the attention of environmentalists as an alternative to hardwoods. As a member of the grass family, its rate of growth is faster than most hardwood trees and is seen as a renewable resource. Additionally, the glues used to hold the layers of bamboo flooring together lacks many of the petroleum products used in most laminate flooring, making the materials biodegradable.

In addition to the strength and durability of bamboo flooring it is also being promoted as being more resistant to insects such as termites, which for some reason are not naturally attracted to this grassy growth.

Window Shades & Blinds

Window shades and window blinds; fishing equipment; food; decorative items such as mats and baskets and fashion. We haven't even scratched the surface.

Bamboo blinds have been around for a long, long time. You have probably seen these blinds before they became chic, bamboo matchsticks strung together horizontally, hanging on the outside of a home to shade a southern or western facing window.

Today's bamboo blinds have a modern twist. Modern technology flattens the bamboo canes and provides great uniformity in the width and shape of each individual can that is used to make up the blind. In addition, these natural window coverings are lined with light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics.

Selecting New Bamboo Window Shades on blindsontime.com

Due to the flexible, eco friendly and easy to work with nature of bamboo, the wood can be transformed into several different bamboo window shade models. Each type of bamboo shade offers slightly different features, all with great style and a unique feel that other wood based shades cannot achieve.

When looking into bamboo window shades, it is to first understand the details and dimensions of the windows that the shades will cover. Although the purpose of a set of window shades seems obvious, so do not effectively block out UV rays. Other shade models act more as a decoration piece than an energy saver or an efficient light blocking tool.

One variety of bamboo shades, the cellular shades, provides excellent UV protection. Several cellular models offer cordless systems, which in turn makes them more child safe. The purpose of the cell shaped pattern allows for maximum energy efficiency in rooms with large windows.

The cell bamboo shades work to trap in heat during winter while keeping in the cool air during hot summer months. Bamboo can be stained and patterned into different shades, so choosing a matching option is not a difficult task.

Most cellular patterns range from 50 to 100 dollars depending on the size of window that the shade will cover. In some cases, custom window shades can be cut to fit oblong or irregular shaped window designs, but custom always costs more than factory run offs.

Bamboo window shades can also be found in the Roman shade style. This design often offers less sun ray protection due to its overall style; the Roman shade looks like several small sticks horizontally or vertically stacked next to one another with very small gaps in between.

Several of these shade designs require the use of draw strings with attachments so that they can be neatly rolled up and down to a desired length. The shades work well in living rooms and kitchen spaces, but can match nearly any living space with the multiple color options available. Several designs have two tone color ways.

Traditional Roman shade designs cost between 20 and 75 dollars, but some styles with modern twists and different patterns require more material and therefore cost between 75 and 150 dollars. Bamboo Shades are bought and sold at home improvement retailers and online furnishing companies. Several companies began to introduce the bamboo products because of their cost effectiveness; bamboo grows extremely fast, making the wood a great renewable and reusable product.

Do you need to replace your window coverings or are you buying a new house and need to dress up your windows? There are many types of blinds to choose from when you are in the store looking at them, but which one is the best for your home? How do you decide what will complete your home decor? It may seem like a daunting job, but there are some very easy tips to follow when you are looking at new blinds for your home. One of the easiest decisions you may have to make is a magnetic blind versus regular mini blinds.

You may be wondering what the differences between the two are? If you are it is a simple difference, but it may make the most difference to you. First most blinds are made out of specific material, the cheaper blinds are usually made of aluminum to save you money as well as provide you with a good quality product. The other blinds may be made of cloth like the venation blinds or bamboo. There are even wood blinds. However, the magnetic blinds are still different from the rest of these blinds. They are aluminum and usually less expensive than other blinds, but they also require no tools during installation.

Moreover, how is this possible? It is easy. The magnetic blinds work off magnetic adhesive strips that adhere to the windows rather than the need for a screwdriver. So all you have to do is place the adhesive on the window and then snap the magnetic blind in place. The two magnets create a solid connection so that the blinds will hold there.

A note of caution: Adhesive tape can wear out over time, especially if there is undue force on the magnetic adhesive strip. These may not be the best blinds for a child's room or a place a child may tug on the strings that operate the blind.

These magnetic blinds are available in one style with many choices in colors. You may not be able to special order for difficult windows, but the company you purchase them from will determine that. The magnetic blinds are a vertical mini blind where you can certainly have the choice in length for most windows.

When you go looking for magnetic blinds you may wish to look online, but again you need to be cautious of the places you choose to buy from. Do not just look for the best price from an off the wall distributor. One way of keeping safe is to buy online from online stores that also have dealings offline as well.

What kind of window treatment would go nice in a dining room that has 3 french windows?

Curtains? Wood blinds? Bamboo shades? etc...

This mostly depends on your decorating taste and what will blend with the rooms decor and the view. Are you looking for privacy or room darkening. The options are limitless.

One look that really adds class is the Faux lead glass http://www.ehow.com/how_4919477_create-faux-leaded-glass-window.html In the panels you can add colored vinyl for privacy. A cornice added to the top can hide a room darkening shade yet allow a very tailored look to the room.http://www.rd.com/how-to-build-your-own-window-cornices/article17691-2.html
I have a 2 pole shade in the cornice above my french doors. One is an off white honeycomb shade that covers the glass portion the other is material that spans the window.

With the faux leaded behind it it allows me to mix several looks and alter them according to my whim. Most of the time I leave both up with a hint of the cloth beneath the cornice. When dining in the daytime the honeycomb defuses the light. For formal dinners the Damask adds elegance.

Roman shades question?

OK, new house we bought has replacement windows that look great. One problem the way they were installed I can not put the window treatments I like (roman shades and the bamboo shades with a valance built in) inside the window when installed. I have never seen these hung outside the window. Will they look ok like that or do I need to go with another type of window treatment?

Actually, yes, you can hang them outside the window sill. However, because there is a frame that the shade retracts into there will be a slight gap where the shade overlaps the window edge and it will have an elevated appearance as it will project outside the window frame. If you can't mount inside the window frame any treatment you use will not be flush with the window edge, so I recommend you use what you like most.

Bamboo curtains over windows inside room for cooling purpose?

Do using bamboo curtains over windows "inside" the room help in keeping the room cool? The bamboo curtains are like the one shown in the following link

http://www.gosuperiorblinds.com/products.cfm#provenance

I know they are used on the outside but I don't know if they are as effective on the inside.

Yes. Bamboo shades when combined with a privacy or blackout liner – help to provide effective insulation against summer’s heat and winter’s cold. Check to see if they have an option for a black out liner to maximize light blockage. Anything placed over a window will help keep a room cool. It depends on how much light filters through.

Cellular shades eliminate virtually 100% of UV rays so you may want to consider those as well.

It depends on how much of the light you want to filter out and the look you want. That is the reason I suggested you see about the black out option. It would be a liner on the back side of the blind and you would have the natural, warm feel of the wood or grass inside.

Does anyone know how to cut Bamboo Roman Shades? What type of saw, etc?

I have purchased 72" x 72" Roman Shades for my Florida Room that I am doing. Problem is that it is an old house and all the windows are different, ex: 67", 60", 69", etc. I need to trim each blind to fit and need to know the best way to go about it. What type of saw? Would a circular saw work, or a table saw etc?

Hi ima Pro in this field. Use a new pair of Tin Snips. Draw your line up the side of the shade and then snip away, cleanest cut you'll get.

How do I remove an oil stain from my cherry wood night stand?

I recently bought one of those scented oil thing's with the bamboo stick diffusers. I left it on my night stand one night, not thinking, and in the middle of the night, knocked it over. It spilled in a puddle underneath a book I had sitting there, and when I woke up, I immediately smelled and saw the damage. I quickly tried to remove the book, which resulted in tearing up the cover, and removing a huge section of varnish. Now I have a book with a ruined cover that's cherry colored, and a night stand that's sticky and stripped of it's beautiful finish. =( I am a college student and this furniture was a gift and supposed to last me the next few years! I feel like crying! I've used "Simoniz Fix It! For Wood" in the dark shade, which I ordered off TV, with no success! Someone please help me!

Strip and refinish time.

Bamboo Blinds Shades

i need to know what kind of blinds to use.?

okay so i have casement windows(i think thats what you call the windows that have the screen on the inside and the crank to open the windows...anyway..Im wondering if there would be anyway possible to mount wood blinds or would bamboo shades look better? I REALLY don't wanna use plain jane aluminum mini blinds...just keep in mind theres really not a way to mount them inside.....

Either one would work. A blind affords you the ability to control the light better. You can mount your blinds outside on the casing. And yes, your windows are called casement. They also sell short stem replacement cranks should you want to change them if you go the shade route and you have long stems. If you live in a humid environment you may want to consider faux wood blinds to prevent warpage.
