Press Room

Austin, Texas – March 12, 2008 – YourBlinds.com is happy to announce our support of environmentally friendly products by introducing Eco Friendly Blinds into our store! We've actually been doing this for years by providing consumers with all-natural blinds, but they wanted to make sure everyone knew about their new Eco Friendly products manufactured by some of their favorite brands!

Over the years consumers have voiced their overwhelming concern for the environment and YourBlinds has worked hard to bring shoppers a large assortment of ecologically sensitive products. Many manufacturers have introduced new lines of eco friendly blinds, and YourBlinds is excited about all the new options available!

Blind companies took the time to combine environmentally friendly resources with warm, colorful designs. They've made it easy to choose recyclable and green alternatives by creating window treatments with the same beautiful designs you'd expect from companies like Hunter Douglas and Comfortex.

Need new shades or blinds? Why not Go Green! YourBlinds continues to stay on top of the market and bring you the best selection of current designs and trends. With these new selections of environmentally friendly products, shoppers can choose gorgeous window treatments while keeping the Earth looking beautiful, too!

Here are some highlights from the Eco friendly blinds department at YourBlinds:

• Your Blinds supports the Comfortex new Woodwinds Recycling Program, designed to preserve natural resources by using recycled materials in their blinds. They’ve also created a process to recycle the shades at a later date. You not only support global environmentalism with the Comfortex program, you'll also receive a voucher towards the purchase of future products when you recycle your old blinds.

• A company called the Ecological Applications of Technology for International Trade (EATIT) has designed colorful blinds using recycled magazines and natural reeds. They come in a variety of colors to match any décor and some even use high quality cloth from tailor waste to fashion beautiful window treatments. Great for color and conversation!

• Hunter Douglas, a giant in the world of blinds (and one of our favorite quality designers!), has recently released a new line of roller shades called “Greenscape” made from Earth-friendly, recyclable fabric. These blinds are not only eco friendly, but also modern, colorful, and versatile. Just what you'd expect from the experts at Hunter Douglas!!

• YourBlinds also offers woven blinds and shades made from all-natural fibers. They have always been proud to support renewable resources and have carried woven blinds for years! Now they combine their love of these warm, natural shades with our undying support of a sustainable environment! The benefits of woven blinds are endless! YourBlinds carries all-natural woven blinds made from soft reeds and grasses; renewable resources that help prevent erosion and maintain sustainable habitats for wildlife.
