Roman Shade and Bamboo Shade Linings. Which is right?

Insulated roman shades are energy efficient window treatments that keep a room warm in the winter and the heat out in the summer. Roman shades can be stylish and elegant and can decorate any room in the house. You can really add some class to your room with roman shades.  Most companies will have fabrics to choose from and you can also use you own material to pull the room together. 

Light Filtering Shade Lining
 Light filtering roman shades are typically made with a semi heavy fabric that will cut out about half the light that will come through the roman shade. They offer protection as well as insulation properties. A light filtering lining on the shade will also keep your interior fabric from fading n the sun.

Blackout Shade Lining

  Roman shades that are lined with a heavy liner which blocks out all the light. Adding the blackout lining is great if you are one that likes to sleep late sometimes or work shifts and need it dark to sleep during the day.  You also gain a tremendous amount of insulating value when you add a blackout liner to your roman shades. You will also notice that the texture or pattern of fabric you are using is more visible during the day.

Bamboo or Woven Shades

In addition to the popular fabric roman window shades there are still common bamboo shades or woven wood  shades that can be made with many natural material from bamboo,jute and sea grass woven together. You can add edge binding to your bamboo shades which are usually not wider than two inches and come in very earthy colors that complement the bamboo. Woven wood shades can be lined with either blackout or light filtering lining.
