Wooden or bamboo blinds, which one to choose?

Recently, blinds have become the biggest shopping hit of all window covers. They fill the rooms in a beautiful way by giving them a cozy and natural atmosphere. They are timeless and fit into the interiors of any style.

Blinds can be bought in wooden or bamboo options, which one should be picked by you?

Wooden Blinds

While picking the wooden blinds, it’s worth knowing that they are a little bit heavier than those made of bamboo. Their weight is about 3-4kg/m2 which makes controlling them a bit difficult for some people. The heavier weight is also an advantage as they are more solid, durable, and therefore more resistant to possible damage. Their lamels are slightly thicker than those of bamboo and so when raised, they take up more space in the window. They work well on large windows.

Wooden blinds with their thickness can black out the interiors much more. Thanks to this, they can fit perfectly for rooms such as bedrooms or child’s rooms. Their structure makes them a good thermal insulator thus they protect rooms against excessive heat much better than bamboo blinds. Lamels are smooth and do not have any grooves, which makes it easier to keep them clean.

Bamboo blinds

Bamboo blinds are much lighter and their weight is almost 40% smaller than wooden blinds. Thanks to this, controlling is easy and comfortable. Their lightness makes them more susceptible to slight damage or bends after long-term use. The lamels are thinner so they take up less space and are a perfect fit for small-sized windows. Their weight and structure make them let much light in than wooden blinds. Due to higher light transmission and lower thermal insulation, they are mostly mounted in rooms such as the living rooms or kitchen. Bamboo blinds are made of compressed bamboo grass. Due to that reason, their color is not uniform and the structure of lamels is not even.  It can be a hindrance while cleaning because the dirt will accumulate more. Regular cleaning will protect the blind from getting dirtier.

Which one to choose?

Wooden blinds as much as bamboo ones will fill every interior with a cozy and warm character, while the wide range of coloring for lamels will let the clients pick the most suitable shade for their dreamy interior. Each type of blind has its pros and cons. Wooden blinds are dedicated to people, who value privacy and have a need to blackout the room. However, the bamboo blinds are designed for those who want to keep their interior lighter, and controlling would be slight and pleasant.
