Woodweave blinds are also known as Bamboo blinds, grassweave blinds or pinoleum blinds. London Blinds can offer woven wood blinds from many ranges such as sunweave, and fabrics by companies such as louvolite.

Woodweave Blinds General Information

AKA: Pinoleum Blind, Woven Wood Blind, Bamboo Blind, Grassweave Blind

An exotic collection of woods and bamboos that filter the light into your room to create a calm, soothing ambience that can be adjusted as the climate changes. All woods and bamboos are specially selected from sustainable forests around the world.

Operation of the blind is much like that of a roman blind, allowing you to stop the blind at any position you require.

Benefits

  • Natural looking alternative to roman, roller and wooden venetian blinds.
  • Manufactured with a wooden bottom bar to provide weighting for the wood weave. Colour is complimentary to the shade of wood chosen.
  • Pulls up out of the way to give open space in the window. Most weaves stack as small as 250mm in depth at the top of the window.
  • Edge binding blend with the shade of wood chosen, or an alternative contrasting colour can be chosen.
  • All blinds are provided with a sculptured headrail, hidden brackets and a pelmet flap as standard.
  • Available as a roman style, or roll-up style to suit your taste. (not all products have this feature)

Limitations

  • Maximum and Minimum Sizes
    • The minimum recommended width is 200mm. The maximum is dependant upon the width of the woven fabric.  It is usually 2000mm. 
    • The maximum drop for most weave products is 2400mm.
  • Wood is a natural product, and warping of timber is expected to take place. It is not really apparent on most weaves, and certainly adds to the natural look of the blind.
  • Wood is a natural product. Grain patterns and colour shades will be different across the blind, as with any wooden furniture product.
  • The widths of blinds are made to a tolerance of 3mm, and the drops are made to a tolerance of 5mm. Therefore, blinds that are positioned next to each other may show a slight difference in height even though they have been ordered at the same drop.
  • Weaves can be ordered without edging tape, however, it’s not recommended and the woven fabric called Certain fabrics MUST be edged.
  • All Grassweaves and bamboos, plus some woven fabrics should only be made as roman style for blinds under 500mm wide. Also, on wider blinds, there will be a slight drooping/bowing effect due to the weight and open weaves of these fabrics. Colour variation and fading will occur overtime if exposed to strong sunlight.  The pricing pages will advise you of these limitations.

Suitable Areas for Use

  • Bay Windows
    • WoodWeave Blinds are very suitable for bay windows. For help on how to measure Bay Windows for DIY installation please click here
    • Bedroom
      • Tightly woven shades will help provide an 80% blackout effect if there are no other curtains in the windows.
    • Lounge
    • Study
    • Conservatory
    • Kitchen
      • Not suitable where the blind will get splashed repeatedly, since the lacquer finish on the wood may react badly to strong detergents.
    • Bathroom
      • Not suitable for areas where there is excessive moisture, or where the blind will get splashed.
    • Dining Room
    • Utility Room
    • Sliding Patio Doors
      • Not ideal where head height is restricted, because a roman style woodweave blind usually stacks up to a minimum of 200mm. If you would like to fit a blind to a patio door, then it's recommended that you allow an extra 200mm minimum above the door, and fit it there if you have the space.
