Explore Hunter Douglas Window Treatment Options
Hunter Douglas offers a variety of custom window treatments designed to meet different needs. Here are some of their most popular options:
1. Cellular Shades (Duette® Honeycomb Shades)
Ideal for energy efficiency, cellular shades feature a unique honeycomb structure that traps air and provides insulation, helping reduce heating and cooling costs. They are available in various opacities, from sheer to blackout, making them an excellent choice for bedrooms and living spaces alike.
2. Roman Shades (Vignette® Modern Roman Shades)
Roman shades offer timeless elegance with their soft fabric folds. Hunter Douglas’ Vignette® shades provide a modern twist with a clean, tailored look. These shades come in different fabrics, textures, and opacities, allowing you to customize your space with ease.
3. Roller & Solar Shades (Designer Roller & Solar Shades)
If you prefer sleek, modern window treatments, roller and solar shades are a great choice. They offer a minimalist look while providing light control and UV protection. Solar shades are particularly useful in rooms with abundant sunlight, as they reduce glare while preserving outside views.
4. Wood & Faux Wood Blinds (Parkland® Wood Blinds & EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds)
For a classic and natural look, wood blinds add warmth and sophistication to any room. Hunter Douglas’ Parkland® Wood Blinds offer rich, real wood finishes, while EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds provide the beauty of wood with enhanced durability, making them perfect for high-humidity areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
5. Plantation Shutters (Heritance® Hardwood, Palm Beach™ Polysatin™, & NewStyle® Hybrid Shutters)
Shutters add an upscale, architectural element to your home. Hunter Douglas’ custom shutters are available in genuine hardwood, Polysatin™ (perfect for humid environments), and a hybrid material that combines the best of both worlds.
6. Sheer Shades (Silhouette® & Pirouette® Window Shadings)
For a soft, diffused light effect, sheer shades are an excellent option. Silhouette® shades feature adjustable fabric vanes between sheer panels, allowing you to control light while maintaining privacy. Pirouette® shades offer sculpted fabric folds that add dimension and elegance.
Motorization & Smart Home Integration
Hunter Douglas’ PowerView® Automation allows you to control your window treatments with a remote, smartphone, or even voice commands through smart home systems like Alexa and Google Home. This is a great option for hard-to-reach windows and for enhancing security while you're away.
