The Evolution of Wood Window Coverings
There are styles of wood window coverings older than our country and types that have come about only through contemporary design. That’s because wood is such a versatile and well-used product that it has been employed for residential design for eons. Over the years, its use in wood window coverings has evolved as design and technology advanced, yet the treatments often still hold to the genius of their original design and the inherent style of natural wood.
It started with Shutters
Shutters are among some of the oldest wood window coverings with roots that date back to 800 BCE in Ancient Greece. Designed to allow for ventilation while protecting against inclement weather and providing privacy from prying eyes, the intention behind the window treatment hasn’t changed in centuries. And while the treatment still provides this trifecta of control, the looks have been updated to suit modern aesthetics and innovative operating systems and features back the treatment for the modern home. Homeowners will find wood, faux wood, and vinyl shutters in the Hunter Douglas collection.
Blinds That Increased Mobility
Built from the foundations that shutters set, blinds added an element of movement not available before. For a while, blinds had slats like shutters that tilted open and closed to provide more or less light to enter; they also had a corded system that allowed homeowners to raise or lower the treatment for more exposure and uninterrupted views. The corded system gave this generation of wood window coverings new flexibility in movement, and modern blinds can be found made from wood, faux wood composites, or metals.
Modern Woven Woods Transform the Medium
Taking the traditionally hard material in a whole new direction, woven wood shades add softness and graceful movement to the realm of wood window coverings. Woven wood shades use wood, grasses, reeds, bamboo, and other organic components and spin them into Roman shades or drapery fabrics.
Motorized Wood Window Coverings
Bringing wood window coverings solidly into the twenty-first century is advanced operating systems like PowerView® Automation. PowerView can turn ordinary wood window coverings into motorized shades, compatible with styles of shutters, woven wood shades, and blinds. Motorization enhances control with easier access and a range of modern features like automation to make your wood window coverings even more efficient.
