There are many interior decorators who believe that the beauty of wood is unequaled. Indeed, wood adds the warmth of nature to living spaces, making them more comfortable. However, using real wood leads to destroying forests, thinning of the ozone layer and so many other negative consequences for our planet. This is what’s been driving more and more consumer goods manufacturers to shift to renewable resources. When it comes to window treatments, big companies such as Bali or Hunter Douglas found an excellent resource of creating exquisite products: bamboo, reeds and grasses.

Hunter Douglas Provenance Woven Wood Shades can easily be considered as state-of-the-art in window coverings solutions. Their simplicity, their way of filtering the light, their unique blend of woven wood and fabric makes these shades an excellent option for homeowners who value the natural and a casual yet comfortable lifestyle.  One may think that Hunter Douglas blinds are anything but cheap. It’s true, but with this price tag,m lots of advantages do come. For example, Hunter Douglas bamboo shades are made with a special technology that helps minimizing bowing. Bowing is one of the problems encountered in bamboo blinds and shades. It often leads to the need of replacing window blinds every few years. Provenance woven wood shades don’t bow that much. Besides, they are strong, thanks to the multiple 5-ply polyester yarns which don’t fade and which are very resistant.

The Provenance line of products is GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality certified, which means that they are environmentally-friendly. They provide a good sound absorption, between 75% and 90% UV protection and an excellent energy efficiency. Safety features are also available.

As usual for Hunter Douglas window treatments, Provenance shades come with lifetime guarantee, no matter what operating system one may choose. With a fold size of 5″ and possible width starting from 18″ up to 144″ and height from 20″ to 108″, these window shades will fit basically every type of window. They can be used for covering bay and corner windows, sliding glass doors or French doors. However, in case you need specialty shapes and design options it’s strongly advisable that you consult a specialist before buying anything, as some options may not be possible in all situations.
