Natural Woven (Woven Wood) Shades in Kansas City, KS

Yes, as well as anything we offer. The old oak casings in a Strawberry Hill or Argentine home have depth and grain, and a reed or bamboo weave in a similar tone sits inside them like it was planned. We bring the samples to your home because the tone has to be judged against your wood in your own light.

Unlined, no. After dark with the lights on, the weave shows shapes and movement to anyone outside, and on the close set lots in the older neighborhoods that can mean the neighbor's kitchen. A privacy liner fixes that, and a room darkening liner also darkens the room. Many clients put the liner on the sides that face people and leave the backyard windows unlined.

In a Turner ranch with the dining room on the west, an unlined shade softens the sun but won't stop all the glare on the table at dinner in July. A privacy liner keeps the texture, cuts the harsh light and keeps the room bright. Your Design Specialist can hold both up to the glass so you can decide in the room.

Yes. Two shades on one headrail is a standard option, and a sunroom with a run of windows is a great place for it. Each shade lifts on its own, the headrail looks like one piece, and the line across the top stays straight.

Yes, with edge banding. The edges of a woven shade can fray where they rub the casing, and edge banding adds a fabric border that takes the wear and finishes the look. Our Carefree Guarantee includes a lifetime product warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own the shades.

For a bathroom with a shower, we recommend a Faux Wood Blind or a poly shutter instead, because steam is hard on natural materials. A woven shade does well in a kitchen over the sink, as long as it's kept away from the stove and out of direct steam.
