  Check out our information on quick installation and ease of care for beautiful Bamboo Window Blinds, one of nature’s most beautiful gifts.

     Nature has created a material that is very durable in the bamboo plant.  Even though it is technically a grass, it doesn’t act or look like one.  It’s beauty and strength is such that designers and manufacturers have been able to create numerous items for the home that are also beautiful and eye-catching.  Bamboo furniture has hit an all-time high in popularity.  Eco-aware as we are today, a Bamboo Window Blind is a very good purchase.

  Bamboo blinds are blinds that are created out of bamboo stems that have been cut into sticks and mounted horizontally.  They are available in a number of styles and colors.  Fold up styles are a favorite for many home owners, as well as the traditional roll up styles.  Bamboo can be stained a variety of colors, and even dyed various colors on each blind.  This versatility makes a bamboo window blind a great choice for any room.

  The Bamboo plant is considered to be a lucky addition to homes in many cultures.   Since they are also durable and hold up under numerous weather conditions, choosing bamboo for your home today will not only bring good luck to your and your home, but will save energy and money and look great! An added bonus is the great price of bamboo products today.

  When it comes to installing bamboo blinds, the first thing you need to establish is whether they are inside  or outside mounted blinds.  Let’s take a look at installing an Outside Mounted blind.  Begin by holding up the blind along with the brackets that they will rest on.  You will need a buddy to help with this.  Use a pencil to mark the placement of the brackets.  This is the one step that many manufacturers fail to include, but can save you time and headaches in the process.

  Go ahead and install the brackets according to your markings.  Put the head rail into place and snap the hinged coverings closed.  Continue the installation as per the manufaturers instructions, adding the valance at the top.

  If you have inside mounted blinds, you will need to instally the brackets onto the inside wall of your window frame.  Add the valence clips to the top of your blind, then slip it into place in the brackets.  Follow the manufacturers instructions if a tilt changer is included.  Snap the valence blind into place, and try out your blind!

   Your beautiful Bamboo blinds are now ready to enjoy!  As for cleaning and care, a damp cloth usually does the trick, or if they are in need of a tougher clean, fill a bathtub with warm water and add a good oil soap.  Remove the blindsand roll them up.  Put them in the water and swish them around for a few minutes.  Leave them alone for 30 minutes and swish again.  Rinse in warm water two or three time.  Hang them outside over a fence or such till they are completely dry.  A nice sunny day will do very well.  Re-install and voila’!  You have beautiful ‘new’ blinds to spark up your room!

  Installing and enjoying Bamboo Window Blinds can be a great experience if you know how to take care of them.  They can add beauty and shade for years to come if cared for properly.
