Why Add a Liner to Woven Wood Shades?

Wood shades gently diffuse light and provide UV protection. Why should your woven shades have a liner? The woven shades experts at Blind Scapes are glad you asked. Here are a few reasons to consider adding a liner to your woven wood shades.

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are handcrafted to ensure the highest quality and attention to detail. They look stunning independently, but a liner lends a touch of formality without being stuffy. A liner also enhances the functionality and longevity of your shades by helping keep them intact and in shape.

Woven shades from Hunter Douglas are made with specialized techniques that help prevent bowing and stretching, but on their own, any woven window covering is delicate. Independently operating liners on Provenance® Woven Wood Shades allow you to use only the shade, only the liner, or both together.

Types of Liners

There are different liners to meet various needs, but today we’re sharing the benefits of light-filtering and room-darkening liners. Sometimes a light-filtering liner is referred to as a privacy liner because that’s essentially what it gives you. This kind of liner still allows plenty of natural light into your home but assures your privacy by eliminating even the smallest gaps within the weave. Light-filtering liners also increase the UV protection of your shades to keep your home’s interior from becoming faded and discolored.

Room-darkening liners offer more light-blocking capability and are an excellent choice for media rooms and home offices. Who wants to deal with screen glare while participating in a video conference? No one. You can also use a room-darkening opacity in bedrooms to prevent most unwanted light from sneaking in.

Advantages of Liners

We love woven wood shades in all of their forms, but adding a liner has definite benefits.

• We know we already mentioned light control, but it’s worth bringing up again. A liner not only protects your home’s furnishings, but it also protects the shade itself from sun damage.
• Privacy is priceless, and a liner can help you maintain yours. This is especially important at night. Woven wood shades alone will obscure much of the view into your home, but not all of it.
• An optional liner gives you another layer of customization. When you invest in custom woven shades, you want them to meet all of your needs and look good while doing it.
• Any opacity liner increases the amount of insulation your shades provide. Insulation is not just about keeping warm or cool air in one place; it also helps keep street noise where it belongs - on the street.
