The advantage of the semi-finished design is that standard bamboo blinds sizes fit the most common window and door dimensions and are economically priced. It is suitable for indoor use without surface treatment, but for outdoor use, oil or thin glaze finishing is recommended.

Its light yet sturdy structure is formed by bamboo pieces woven together with cotton thread. With the separately available ROLKA accessory, these can even be installed as no drill roller blinds.

For using balcony sun shades on the terrace, some sort of finish is always necessary so this product withstands the elements. Fortunately, Naturtrend webshop can perform this step for you upon request; you just need to select what you need with one click. However, if you prefer doing this step, you can do it cost-effectively. Oiling or glazing must always be done on a clean, completely dry surface, as moisture hinders absorption and drying quality. Lacquering is not recommended, because it creates a surface where microcracks quickly appear.
Thin glaze absorbs into the structure of the bamboo sticks, so it does not create a cracking surface while protecting the material. The finish is typically recommended to be refreshed every 2–3 years. This type of finish also protects the material from the effects of direct and regular contact with water.
Oil penetrates deep into the bamboo sticks, preserving their flexibility and reducing the risk of moisture and sunlight damage. To maintain protection, oiling is usually recommended every 2–3 years. This finish protects the material effectively from less frequent indirect water exposure (like vapor or mist).
Bamboo blinds reduce incoming sunlight and moderate UV exposure, thus protecting outdoor flooring and furniture from fading. If your terrace size allows, buying semi-finished bamboo blinds is cheaper than custom sizes, since these are made out of season. Our semi-finished exterior bamboo blinds are made from the same materials as our custom blinds, so you can be sure of good quality. If you purchase both semi-finished and custom blinds, you must accept that there may be shade differences between source materials from different years. We have tailored bamboo roller shades sizes specifically for standard windows and doors.
At Naturtrend webshop you can request a blinds' material sample pack for free. These samples help you determine the level of light transmission and the right color.
For indoor use, cleaning bamboo blinds is easy with regular dusting. We offer a 5-year replacement warranty on the control mechanism, and a detailed video guide is provided for replacing the lift cord. For exterior use, it is essential to treat the blinds with oil or thin glaze, which is recommended every 2–3 years. In spots with strong sunlight, it may be necessary to repeat this more often. The blinds should only be retracted when they are completely dry, as otherwise mold can develop. A key warning is that lowered blinds can be damaged by strong wind, so always pull them up during windy or stormy weather.
