Roller & Solar Shades

Roller Shades are the epitome of easy style with an effortless grace and a refined uncluttered look. The operation of roller shades is equally as straightforward and uncomplicated with several state-of-the-art operating systems from Hunter Douglas to choose from. These choices include child-safe cordless systems and the latest automated system for motorized control.

Roller blinds are also easy to work into décor or customize to suit your design aesthetic as they can be made from a variety of fabrics and screens, paired with a range of different window toppers or treatments for a polished layered look, and the flat fabric front of roller shades makes a great canvass for textures and pattern. The design versatility of roller shades means that they can be used for a range of applications from a strong neutral background used to anchor design to a striking accent piece placed in a room to add color or pattern. This adaptability is also why roller blinds are popular in many interior design styles from modern and contemporary looks to traditional design and décor.

However, roller shades aren’t just ornamental window coverings; their simple façade houses a plethora of cutting-edge features including enhanced light control (from filtered illumination to blackout darkness) and the ability to protect your home against the harmful UV rays of the sun. Hence, installing roller shades (or solar shades as they are called when constructed from the screen-like materials) can not only refresh your décor, but they can also help protect it. So, no matter if you value form over function or function over form, roller shades and solar shades from Hunter Douglas can address your needs and satisfy your aesthetic desires. Their union of moldable style and top-of-the-line features bestow owners with design enhancing and cost-saving benefits unique to this style of window treatment.

Designer Screen Shades

Engineered to combat the destructive effects of UV exposure, Designer Screen Shades (also known as solar shades) can block between 86% to 99% of the sun’s UV rays to protect valuables in your home against aging, cracking, peeling, warping, and discoloration due to the sun. This solar shade’s ability to block UV is due to its screen’s openness or weave density. The weave density also affects the view-through capabilities of solar shades as looser weaves provide a better view out but allow more sun in also. Designer Screen Shades are also available with exclusive Greenscreen Sea-Tex™ fabrics, environmentally friendly fabrics made from yarn spun from reclaimed plastic recovered from coastal areas. So, with Designer Screen Shades you can protect your home and respect the earth with style and panache.

Designer Banded Shades

With a fashionable blend of the soft aesthetic of sheer shades, the easy-to-use design of roller shades, and the view-through visibility of shutters; Designer Banded Shades from Hunter Douglas are a one-of-a-kind window treatment with a chic look and enhanced light control. By combining both opaque and sheer materials in the banded design, this style of roller blinds can produce a spectrum of lighting effects from a soft, filtered glow to blackout darkness.

Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades

Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades are the most energy-efficient of all Hunter Douglas roller shades thanks to their unique cellular design formed by dual layers of fabric. Like honeycomb shades, Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades are designed to trap air in the pockets of their spheroid construction. That air acts as an insulating layer helping to prevent energy transfer through the glass panes of windows or doors (which can account for over 30% of energy loss in a home). So, while Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades have the refined, low-profile look of roller shades they afford homeowners all the cost-saving benefits of a cellular honeycomb shade.
