The way bamboo blinds fold is different to the pattern that you see in Venetian blinds. This is because the blinds are made from bamboo stems cut vertically into long sticks and pulled together by string.

You will find two typically types of folding bamboo blinds. The first is the roll up style. With this style you pull a string to roll up the blind to let light in and another one to roll down the blind to block out the light. The second is Roman Folding type. This style of bamboo blind folds upwards when you want to let light in.

One of the most important things to consider when buying bamboo blinds is the size of the window. It goes without saying that the larger the window the more money you will have to spend. If it is a large window that you are thinking of installing the blind then you can measure the outside mount of the window. For a larger window you will probably want to measure the inside mount.

It is important that you use a measuring unit that is standard and which you can give to your blind company when you put in your order. It is also important that you double check your measurements. There is nothing worse than receiving your new bamboo blinds and discovering that they don’t fit your windows because you got the measurements wrong. You should also err on the side of caution by adding a little extra on the measurement to ensure that the blinds will cover the entire window.

Bamboo blinds can be an excellent addition to the windows of any room. Just make sure you get the measurements just right and there should be no problem when it comes to install them and they will be large enough to cover the entire window.
