From Hunter Douglas site:

Headquartered in Upper Saddle River, NJ, Hunter Douglas is the leading manufacturer of custom-made window fashions in North America. For more than 60 years, we have been making a big difference at the window and in homes across America.

In 1985, Hunter Douglas invented energy-efficient Duette© honeycomb shades—the first product of its kind—in response to the energy crisis of the late 1970s. More recently, we’ve introduced the latest generation of honeycomb shades—the Duette© Architella© Collection—which offer superior energy efficiency thanks to their patented honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb construction.

With the introduction of products like Duette© honeycomb shades, Silhouette© and Pirouette© window shadings, and Luminette© Privacy Sheers, to name just a few, our innovative window fashions help contribute to greater energy savings at the window.

Natural bamboo, grasses and reeds are making their way back into the home.  Woven wood shades are the perfect compliment to almost any room. With hundreds of different materials available it makes them extremely versatile.

We have matched kitchen cabinets, hardwood floors and even stained doors. Wovens are great in bathrooms to create a spa like setting. A lining with different opacities on the back side of the shade can be added for several reasons:

• If you want to achieve a uniform appearance from the exterior of your home.
• You can choose an opaque lining letting in little to no light for rooms such as media, bedrooms and nurseries.
• With out the lining, we have used them on stained front doors that have glass.  The customer wants privacy but a product that matches closely to the stained door and looks good from the exterior.

Have a look at photos of Woven Woods installs from our comprehensive Portfolio.

Woven woods come in many different colors, textures and styles. These shades are moderately priced and give a great finishing touch to almost any space. Call today for details on our current Woven Wood promotions.

Problem: Interior conference room had a great deal of glare at certain times of the day. Lack of light control created problems during multimedia presentations.

Solution: Draper Inc. offers a proprietary fabric called duplex weave.  It is lightly colored on the back and darker on the interior side.  The duplex fabric reflects light keeping the space cooler as the darker side reduces glare.

Quite often our clients ask “What can we do about covering our sliding doors?” We now have the perfect solution for those of you tired of the noisy old plastic vertical blinds. Skyline Gliding Window Panels by Hunter Douglas seamlessly blend form and function. The product has very simple oversized panels that can traverse left, right or split stack when opened. There are 100′s of fabrics and colors available with optional hardware colors.
