Choosing Sustainable Wooden Blinds
With the environment as a top concern in recent years, you want interior design that’s conscious of this global issue. Transforming your home doesn’t have to be a wasteful process. Wooden blinds are a timeless, environmentally conscious window treatment that combines the things you love, including sustainable practices and the great outdoors. Fortunately, you can enjoy window treatments that are reminiscent of the beautiful Washington landscape with Hunter Douglas wooden blinds. At Ida & Norma’s Draperies, we specialize in all kinds of window treatments that you are sure to love. Let’s look a little deeper at the wooden blinds we have to offer you, and the benefits of choosing these styles. Read on to discover the perks of choosing sustainable wooden blinds.
Parkland® Wood Blinds
Wood blinds are a timeless piece that bring a rustic, earthy feel to any room. Crafted from durable basswood and sustainably harvested from responsibly managed forests, Parkland® Wood Blinds create a cozy, warm feel. With reduced cord hole sizes and blinds that are built custom to your home, you won’t have to worry about any light leaking through when you don’t want it. Advanced finishing technology ensures your wooden blinds will last for years to come, because we know sustainability doesn’t just include the manufacturing process. With an array of assorted colors, not only does the natural beauty of the wood shine through, but you also have the option to customize your blinds for a look unique to your home. Every year, Hunter Douglas makes a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation®, so you know the money you spend is not only supporting a local window treatment dealer, but also supports manufacturing dedicated to preserving the nature you adore. That is why we love recommending Parkland® when it comes to choosing sustainable wooden blinds.
EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds
Maybe you enjoy the look of wood blinds but not the upkeep. EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds are built to last with minimal maintenance. These faux-wood blinds are great for locations that face excessive sunlight that can damage both your blinds and your furniture, as well as places that experience humidity and heat. Despite the name, you will hardly be able to tell the difference between our faux and real wood custom blinds. Stylish colors and realistic textures preserve the appearance of wood blinds you love without the commitment. EverWood® also features light blocking technology, so you can be assured you’ll have precise lighting over your homes. These are just a few reasons why Parkland® is an excellent option when choosing sustainable wooden blinds.
PowerView® Automation
Both Parkland® and EverWood® blinds feature PowerView® Automation technology, which turns your traditional blinds into smart blinds. Compatible with Apple, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa technology, PowerView® makes your life easier by putting every window in your home at your fingertips. PowerView® is also great for maximizing energy efficiency. With the PowerView® App, you can program your wooden blinds to open and close on a schedule you set. Reducing energy consumption is another way to participate in sustainable living by reducing the demand for nonrenewable energy production. This is another example of the benefits of choosing sustainable wooden blinds for your home.
