What Are Matchstick Blinds?
Matchstick blinds are window coverings that are composed of many horizontally placed bamboo wood sticks. The sticks are rounded much like long wood matchsticks and this is how these window blinds get their name. They’re also called matchstick roll up shades as they open and close with a pulley type system in which string threaded through the wood sticks rolls the blinds up and down. Although some matchstick window blinds feature rough, irregular sticks that allow some gaps of light to show through, typical matchstick blinds feature smooth, uniform sticks that are tightly woven together.
