The Natural Beauty of Wood Window Treatments
People have been constructing items out of wood since the dawn of their existence. There are many reasons for this; wood is durable, beautiful, and requires no processing, just shaping. From weapons to vehicles to entire villages, we have made everything out of wood, including window coverings. At North County Blind Company Inc., we understand the appeal of wood, and that is why we carry three different natural wood window treatment options.
Although these gentle shades can also be woven from reeds or grasses, the wood and bamboo varieties remain some of the most popular. The variety of materials provides different texture options for the shades that give your entire room a natural glow. Unlike many of our other hardwood window treatment options, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades aren’t limited to natural-looking wood hues. Artistic stains have been used to create an entire rainbow of color options. You could also add a liner to these shades to fill in the light gaps and provide more light filtration. They are a great way to bring a real piece of nature into your home.
Heritance® Hardwood Shutters
Made of 100% genuine basswood or popular hardwood, Heritance® Hardwood Shutters are the peak of craftsmanship and classic style. These shutters are available in more than 35 finishes, and if you don’t find the perfect one to match your home, you can even customize your color. Designed with durability in mind, Heritance® Hardwood Shutters are made using Truemill® Dovetail Construction. This method relies on intricately shaped components that tightly interlock, eliminating the need for glue or other adhesives.
In addition to the beauty and high quality of Heritance® Hardwood Shutters, they are designed with the environment in mind. Both types of hardwood used in these shutters are rapidly renewable. In addition, for every Heritance® Hardwood Shutter purchased, Hunter Douglas donates to the Arbor Day Foundation. Together they are making an effort to renew and preserve our natural trees and rainforests.
Parkland® Wood Blinds
Blinds are the most popular window treatment for a reason. They are easy to operate and provide fantastic light control and privacy. Parkland® Wood Blinds are made with rich, authentic real wood slats that create a warm and inviting atmosphere in any room in the home. You can choose from various slat sizes, stylish colors, and stain finishes to customize the blinds for your home. The wood used in these horizontal blinds is harvested from responsibly managed forests, so you are never depleting natural resources by bringing them into your home. With the added customization of decorative tapes, Parkland® Wood Blinds can match your carpet, bedspread, or drapes.
