Bamboo Shades as an Eco-Friendly Home Installation

Article Category: Home Management

Window shades come in different colors, styles, textures and materials. Due to the rising concern on the state of the planet, a lot of consumers are getting to be more environmentally conscious in their lifestyle choices. For the homeowner in the process of home renovation, installing bamboo shades is one way to make an eco-friendly choice. These window shades are naturally beautiful in design and have a low impact on the environment.

First of all, bamboo shades are made from sustainable and renewable materials. The primary material, which is the bamboo, is a type of fast growing grass. In fact, it has the distinction of being one of the fastest growing plants on earth. Compared to trees, bamboo grows to its full height within three to four months. The mature bamboo plant becomes ready to harvest and be used for different construction purposes when it is at least three years old. Hardwood trees on the other hand takes decades to grow. By choosing bamboo shades, one is helping in conserving temperate and tropical forests, which are known habitats of endangered wildlife. Aside from bamboo, other materials used in this type of window shades are rattan, reeds, and jute, which are also sustainable resources.

In terms of growing bamboo, the farms where this raw material is sourced actually helps the ecosystem where its located. First of all, soil erosion is reduced in the area due to the roots of this plant. Since it is actually a weed, bamboo is resistant to insects and other pests thus eliminating the need for spraying pesticides or insecticides. Second, it can survive on minimal rainfall, which means that it doesn't consume as much water as other crops. Lastly, a bamboo farm actually generates more oxygen than trees planted in the same area of land.

Now, in terms of the bamboo shades itself, the finished product continues being environmentally friendly once it reaches your home. Aside from giving privacy, installing window shades helps in maintaining indoor temperatures. Since bamboo is a natural insulator, it does this job well. This translates to lower electricity costs used for heating the room in winter or cooling it in summer. Bamboo also has anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties that it retains even after harvest. Having this in your room means that it actually helps in neutralizing odors and keeping molds away. Finally, bamboo is very durable. In Asia, it is even used in the construction industry as material for scaffolding in building their skyscrapers. This durability means that you won't worry for years to come about changing blinds due to weather damage or just the wear and tear from daily use.

To top it off, even the act of cleaning your bamboo shades is also environmentally friendly. You just need to wipe it with cloth or feather duster to remove accumulated dust. For a more thorough cleaning, just run the vacuum cleaner through the slats. You don't have to wash it with household cleaners with chemical ingredients bad for the environment.
