The wooden shades we have are derived from organic materials like bamboo, reed, jute and even grass. All these materials are interwoven in a very skilled manner to give a natural feel which allows light to seep in and at the same time offers privacy since the occupants will always feel close to nature. Wooden shades work on a rod system which involves a corded or a cordless control system that lets you easily pull the shades up or down. The cordless model s do not pose a threat to children and pets, whereas the corded ones are more classical.
