			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Panel-type folding doors are ideal for use in place of curtains or blinds as a covering for sliding glass doors. The attractive wood shades can complement every style of room decor, and the ability to mount them inside or outside doorframes enables them to work on virtually any door in the home. Valances can be purchased to add a finishing touch, with a crown valance being especially appealing for its ability to bring out the colors and textures of the doors, rather than blending into the door assembly. </p>
<p><img alt="folding doors Folding Doors Offer An Affordable And Attractive Upgrade From Traditional Curtains And Blinds" src="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/images/folding-doors.jpg" style="margin: 5px" class="alignleft" width="300" height="350" title="Folding Doors Offer An Affordable And Attractive Upgrade From Traditional Curtains And Blinds" />Woven wood sliding doors add the sophisticated and elegant touch of real wood, which can create a warm and inviting atmosphere in any room of the home. Both light and dark colors are available, with various weaves that can be chosen to add texture and definition. The addition of paints and dyes create even more unique and varied patterns, with selections such as whitewash or teawash offering subtle color variations across the length and width of the door. Patterns that are more dramatic such as Rustic Bamboo, Rustic Makake, and Rustic Tortoise combine light and dark colors to create a range of interesting and eye-catching color shifts, often resembling the color shifts that are found naturally in the outdoors. </p>
<p>There are 23 wood patterns to choose from, with options including both solid and textured weaves, as well as patterns that resemble the more traditional look of slat blinds. An additional 16 color options are available for the banding used to prevent fraying around the edges, with fabric backing available in 6 color choices to provide an additional measure of privacy when the doors are closed. The ability to mix and match the doors, banding, and backing enables color and pattern combinations to be selected to suit personal preferences, as well as to match colors both inside and outside the home.  </p>
<p>Valances can be added for the perfect finishing touch, with the 3-1/2 inch crown valance providing an especially complementary look when used with woven wood sliding doors. The patterns of the valances run horizontally, which provided an appealing contrast to the vertical patterns that run through the doors. The complementary colors and varied patterns add a rustic charm that still provides an elegant and finished look to the folding doors, while maintaining an appearance that is natural, rather than overwhelming. One of the best features of the crown valances is that they do not have to be purchased at the same time as the doors, as achieving a perfect color match is not necessary. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/folding-panels.asp" title="woven wood sliding doors">Woven wood sliding doors</a> can be purchased in heights that range from 12&#8243; to 96&#8243;, with widths available from 24&#8243; to 144&#8243;. Valances can be cut to the same width as the doors, although if mounting outside the framing is preferred, they will be cut 1&#8243; wider than specified in the order. It should also be noted that valances ordered in widths longer than 96&#8243; would be created in 2 pieces, rather than cut as a single piece valance. </p>
<p>Folding doors are an attractive alternative to typical curtains and blinds when it comes to coverings for sliding glass doors. The warm wood patterns and textures of woven wood sliding doors work well in any type of room decor, and both light and dark colors are available to complement any style of home furnishing. Safety is also ensured, as the folding doors are made to operate by hand, thus eliminating the cords that can be dangerous to both children and pets. Crown valances add a warm and elegant finishing touch, with the colors and patterns designed to complement the folding doors, rather than blend in through a perfect color match. Color samples of the doors, banding, backing, and valances are available free of charge to make it easy to find the ideal combination, and the prices for purchase are often less than half of the suggested retail. An added benefit is that standard shipping is free. The attractive appearance of woven wood sliding doors makes them an appealing upgrade from traditional curtains and blinds, and the low cost offers an easy way to add warmth and charm while staying on a budget. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/images/woven-shades.jpg" alt="woven shades Getting The Natural Feeling: Woven Shades" width="600" height="285" title="Getting The Natural Feeling: Woven Shades" />Nature loving people opt for many natural things like indoor plants, eco friendly products and the exceptional woven shades. The reason is simple for their popularity; it is economical and environment friendly and can control the light intensity and heat as well. Woven shades are made of natural materials like bamboo, thin wooden planks, straws, grass, jutes, rattan, reeds and matchsticks which are later woven together to form a large sheet. Woven shades are included in handicraft products. Most people think it is Roman style, true but Romans were not the first, Asia had also played a part in woven shades styles. Usually woven shades were used in Japan, either to cover an entrance or to separate private rooms of males and females. Poor people in the absence of the door will use a large bamboo or a reed shade to place it as a “door” to their house. Depending on the thickness of the shade, they can be completely opaque, semi-transparent or translucent.</p>
<p>Psychology of today says that if you have nature inside your house then you can have positive energy running inside you and you can feel happy. Feng Shui is a Chinese Myth of how to arrange you office or your house, and according to it, Feng Shui prefers nature inside. Most people follow this concept to ease their nerves, and this is where natural woven shades step in. Instead of staring at synthetic made, they can feel the nature.</p>
<p>Woven Shades are available in various colors, but the most common is earthly brown, green, white, grey and black. People choose these shades because it is friendly to the eyes, gives a natural feeling and don’t have to worry about chemicals if they get washed up by rain. They are easy to handle, durable, and give a soothing environment and the plus side is they are recyclable. The shades can be pulled from top to bottom and vice versa. The woven shades are also available as woven <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/roller-shades.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about roller shades &raquo;">roller shades</a>. Usually a thread is used to pull the shade up or down.</p>
<p>Rattan, it is a type of a wicker, and gives a distinctive grain look, is popular too but comes in second to the bamboo shades. Rattan is typically used in furniture making, so if anyone wants to complete a rattan furniture set, the rattan shades are a plus. Rattan is a plant found commonly in Africa and Asia, and as compared to bamboo have really strong stems so they can be considered as durable shades. They are also available in many colors.</p>
<p>The next in line is the bamboo shades, which are also used as furniture; they are comparably more eco friendly and are dirt resistant, opaque, and good for the environment. Bamboo is a native plant of Asia; they are sturdy and have been used for a long time as a cutlery. Bamboo shades are available in variety of sizes and colors; the most demanding color is black and white.</p>
<p>Reed shades give a more of a tropical paradise look. Reed plants are grown near the marshes and have long sturdy stems. Their typical color unlike bamboo is brown and if anyone wants to have a shiny looking woven shades, reeds is the best choice.</p>
<p><a title="woven shades" href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/woven-wood-blinds.asp">Woven shades</a> made form grass are a great choice if anyone wants to bring their greenery right inside their house. They are available in the custom color of white and brown. This shade can survive any weather and keep the heat out during the summers.</p>
<p>Roman Woven shades are made in any material except that they are made in roman style. Jute woven shades are also available in the market but their demand is less.</p>
<p>One thing that must be kept in mind, most of the woven shades are not natural but are synthetic made, because some plants tend to rot away after some years and synthetic keeps them long-lasting.</p>
<p>Woven shades are easy to clean, but if any damage occurs to it, it is better to contact the store in case because such shades are delicate and professional help. In case of a small damage like edges are rubbing off, they can be sewed up, or if they get stuck, it is better to try open the stuck shade with care.</p>

To create a proper feeling of natural harmony and taste, look away from simple curtains or plastic blinds and towards options that leave guests impressed at the style of your home decor. Woven <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/wooden-blinds.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about wood blinds &raquo;">wood blinds</a> offer any room in your house a change from drab and dreary window fittings, placing authentic wood panel tiles into an array that allows you to adjust the levels of light you receive as well as match a tasteful scheme of simplicity and nature. Choosing sets of <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/woven_wood_blinds.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about woven wood blinds &raquo;">woven wood blinds</a> from Shades Shutters Blinds may be the best home modeling decision you have made yet.</p>
<p>Hand-crafted <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/woven-wood-blinds.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about bamboo blinds &raquo;">bamboo blinds</a>, imported from China, have become some of the most popular window fittings available to customers in recent years. Bamboo is a supremely cost-effective construction material which can be stained or even painted in any shade desired. More and more homes are incorporating bamboo shades to color-neutral or high-light decor, making the viewer&#8217;s eye settle naturally on the shades rather than drawing attention like a vibrantly colored blind. This creates an aura of relaxation and simplicity, while the different color schemes of sunlight and twilight turn the wood patterns from one hue to another during the course of your day. These may take approximately a month to be shipped from the production facilities overseas (shipping is free from Shades Shutters Blinds), but prove well worth the wait to the discerning home decorator.</p>
<p>All <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/wood-blinds.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about wooden blinds &raquo;">wooden blinds</a> from Shades Shutters Blinds carry a lifetime warranty, yet wooden fixtures boast far more durability and hardiness than plastic or fabric window coverings. These woven wood blinds are nearly impervious to children, pets, and insects. The only possible harm is from intense sunlight that can cause fading: the exposed side of the wooden shade will likely have a lighter color after time, but not so drastically so that it is noticeable from the interior. While water can cause cracks and fissures, the glaze on these shades repels most liquid. Indeed, the only maintenance that you will need to do is dusting from time to time.</p>
<p>What type of tone are you looking to set up in your house? The selection of <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/discount_bamboo_blinds.asp">cheap bamboo blinds</a> from Shades Shutters Blinds carries over two dozen different color patterns, ranging from a light Woven Rope Ivory to a deep Mocha Bamboo. Request a free sample of any color or pattern in order to determine which would fit best in a high-traffic window, a corner outlet, or an upstairs setting. Use a thematic sequence of Rainforest coloration to combine high-energy colors (such as teal and maroon) for vivid pop, or put Indonesian Reed together with earth tones for a mellow, calming effect. Think of how, for example, the Braided Elegance blinds multiple tones and styles: place it in a multi-purpose area, such as a computer room. Decide which of the thirty patterns from Shades Shutters Blinds fits your needs best.</p>

Woven <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/blinds.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about window blinds &raquo;">window blinds</a> are some of the most versatile window dressings available. They compliment many different decorating styles from elegant, modern or traditional to rustic, tropical or exotic. They are a beautiful finishing touch to any room.</p>
<p>Woven blinds are made from many materials including wood, bamboo, jute, grasses and reeds. These organic renewable materials are environmentally friendly while offering beauty and style. Construction styles in a large variety of colors, patterns, bindings and backings are available from which to choose. Sizes range from 24&#8243; to 96&#8243; in width and 36&#8243; to 96&#8243; in length. They may be mounted outside the window frame or within it. Inside mounting within the frame creates a nicely tailored look that emphasizes the size of the window. The window casing must be deep enough for the mounting brackets in order for the head rail to fit when fully recessed. Outside mounted shades are mounted on the wall or window molding beyond the window frame. This type of mounting works when one desires to cover an area larger than just the window. It must be used when the window casing is not deep enough to accommodate the mounting brackets.</p>
<p>Options in shade construction include <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/discount-window-blinds.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about roll up shades &raquo;">roll up shades</a> with either pull strings or continuous loop operators, top down/bottom up ones which can be raised from the bottom or lowered from the top, motorized and remote-controlled, or sliding panels for sliding glass doors. Shades can be light filtering, room darkening or designed for complete privacy. Woven wood blinds are a sturdy, beautiful option. <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/woven-wood-blinds.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about bamboo blinds &raquo;">Bamboo blinds</a> also are as well as being wonderful interior shade providers. Available in pull up and roman styling, they are light-filtering window treatments and add warmth and versatility to any room. <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/remote-controlled-shades.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about motorized shades &raquo;">Motorized shades</a> are perfect for high or hard to reach windows. Their remote control is able to operate multiple shades as a time. Woven window blinds are also suitable for sky lights and solarium windows and, when attached to the ceiling, will serve as privacy screens or room dividers.</p>
<p>Edge bindings are available which transform the appearance of the blinds and add a more elegant finish to room decor. They also serve the practical purpose of protecting the edges of the shade’s materials from damage. When selecting blind color and design, edge bindings and any linings order free samples of each to make sure the color is exactly what you need. Computer monitors sometimes show the viewer a difference in shade and tone, which can be deceiving. When ordering, order all the shades for the same room at the same time to be sure they come from the same dye lot so all colors will match. Colors can vary from dye lot to dye lot. If shades will be on neighboring windows or several shades will be on a wide window under one header, this prevents mismatches.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/wood-blinds.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about wooden blinds &raquo;">Wooden blinds</a> can be up to 20% lighter than those made of faux wood and usually carry a lifetime warranty against chipping and warping. The slats general range in width from one to two and a half inches. They come with a crown valance that is contoured at the bottom and all necessary hardware. Their R-value (the energy efficiency rating) is good, effectively blocking out both cold and heat. Bamboo shades come with their slats flat or rounded. Rounded slats give a more relaxed appearance while flat ones look more formal. Shades made with both flat and rounded have a tropical flair. All woven, wooden and bamboo blinds, as with any natural decorating materials, are quite popular in today’s decor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 5px" src="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/images/woven-wood-blinds.jpg" alt="woven wood blinds Woven Wood Shades Will Give Your Home a Natural Feel" width="200" height="301" title="Woven Wood Shades Will Give Your Home a Natural Feel" /><a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/woven_wood_blinds.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about woven wood shades &raquo;">Woven wood shades</a> help you to bring a natural feel and look into your home. People search for various means to achieve this, and they try out all sorts of things. Apart from introducing indoor plants, you can now use these wooden shades in order to give your place a more natural touch. The simplest one consists of finely cut strips of wood tied with suitable string to form a mat. This can be easily hung up wherever you desire. These can be found in different sizes to fit your doors and windows or any other space you wish to cover. Some of them are also made of bamboo, and are exquisitely put together to form an ideal shade. They are far from the ones made of plastic or other materials.</p>
<p>While the wooden color is naturally common, you will be surprised to see the variety that exists. There are many subtle variations that you can choose to suit your rooms. You can also obtain one shade in different sizes. This will allow you to have some uniformity when you need to place them suitably in your home on windows and screens. You can indeed have them fixed on windows where you need constant cover from the sun’s rays. You can also have the adjustable ones fixed on your lower windows. You will be able to roll them up when you want more light and air to pass through.</p>
<p>These shades are also available in two forms. There is the bottom-to-top roll up kind and also the top-to-bottom kind. With the first one, just like <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/discount-window-blinds.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about roll up blinds &raquo;">roll up blinds</a>, you can roll up your wooden shades and hold them at the top of your window. They have lost5 popularity over the last few years do to safety issues. The other type is managed in the opposite manner, and can be settled at the bottom of your window. Both these are useful, but people generally go for the standard <a href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/roman-shades.asp" class="kblinker" title="More about roman shade &raquo;">roman shade</a> style.</p>
<p>Apart from the generally available wooden shades, the <a title="woven wood shades" href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/woven-wood-blinds.asp">woven wood shades</a> is simply brilliant. People who see them in your home are bound to be taken up with them. They are so beautifully done that they serve as a decoration on their own. With the wooden design, you can have some wonderful prints. Certain materials are woven with the wood in order to produce brilliant designs. It is of course more common to obtain these in one or two color forms. You can get them in two shades of brown or brown along with a contrasting color. There are also some others that can be obtained in white. These really do stand out, but you have to realize that the real natural feel is diminished with these. If you are looking for something with a natural feel, it would best for you to go for brown or tan hues.</p>
<p>Within the range of colors and sizes, you can obtain some rather interesting shades that are meant to suit your decor as opposed to keeping out the heat and sun’s light. The hobbled type has gathers in them at regular intervals. These allow a certain amount of light in, but if you ever want to block sunlight completely with them, you will not be able to do so as the gaps will remain. You can also add backings to control light.</p>
<p>Woven shades are long-lasting. You can have them for years and you will not need to replace them for a very long time. The basic components of these are tough string and dried wood. These remain as they are for many years if they are not deliberately damaged. You can even wash them when you need to (with a damp cloth), and they will be clean and as good new again.</p>
<p>Go ahead and explore the market to see the different kinds of woven wood shades available for you. You will be pleasantly surprised to see the attractive range available. Make sure you get an idea of the prices for which they are offered. Alternatively, you can go online to check the range offered at online stores. You can then conduct a comparison and see where you are getting the best deal. You can have your shades delivered to you very quickly through an online store.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bay windows are a classy variety on your typical window, providing a more dimensional view of great outdoors.  While they have some wonderful features, they do provide a bit of a challenge when it comes to window treatments.  Some of the more popular treatment options are listed below.</p>

They can also provide full blackout capabilities, a great option if your bay window is also located in your bedroom. Roman shades are also convenient because they can easily be moved out of the way providing unobscured access to your view. They come in a variety of fabrics, colors and styles, making this one of the most flexible options for your bay window.</p>
<p><strong>Blinds –</strong> You can never go wrong with blinds, nor can you run out of choices. Today’s <a title="Mini blinds" href="http://www.shadesshuttersblinds.com/mini-blinds.asp" target="_self">mini blinds</a> come in a variety of styles, sizes and colors.

<p>They broke down the Provenance book into three categories: bamboo, reeds and grasses. Some are a mix of all three or one or two. They combine a traditional look, natural materials and colors and ultra-modern technology. Most of these are porous and filter the amount of light entering a room for dramatic effects.</p>
<p> Here are the options:</p>
<ul>
<li>5&#8243; fabric folds when raised and flat when down.</li>
<li>They have an optional classic natural wood shade cascades fabric down from the front of the head rail which prevents the need for a valance.</li>
<li>The option band edging will protect the fabric from fraying and will allow more customization.</li>
<li>You can enjoy added privacy with a light filtering or room darkening backing.</li>
</ul>
