It does not take an interior designer to agree that window treatments create the first impression whenever someone enters the room. Although there may be other prominent highlights, window treatments such as shades, blinds, drapes and sheers create a blissful and ethereal environment.

Hunter Douglas is a specialist in manufacturing window treatments that not only exude quality, but practicality. You will find various types of window treatments made of a variety of quality fabrics and pleasing colors.

Window treatments do not only beautify, they shield, protect and soothe. They provide you with light and sound control, insulation and privacy.

Don’t know how to choose your window treatments? You can visit your nearest Hunter Douglas dealer showroom. You can find the nearest dealer by getting online and typing your zip code in the search box provided at the bottom left of every Hunter Douglas web page. On visiting a dealer showroom, you will find the entire product range displayed in such a way that you can see them and decide what will look good on your windows.  You can also touch the fabric to get an idea of the texture and softness.  Most dealers will provide you with assistance as to what type of window treatments can suit your windows and your needs. You can have them custom cut to provide your windows with an exact fit.

Although installing window treatments may be a DIY job for some, it is best to hire a qualified professional who knows his job. This is because most windows are not perfect squares or perfect rectangles. Therefore windows must be measured horizontally and vertically at the sides and centers in order to get a perfect fit. Also remember that different windows in the same room may differ slightly in dimensions. A professional installer knows these things and will be able to do a better job. Your Hunter Douglas dealer should be able to arrange one for you.

Curtains, drapes, blinds and shutters are not what they used to be. Today they come in innovative designs that are functional and visually appealing. Moreover, modern technology makes it possible for you to operate them at the press of a button. If you are tired of cords and bead chains, you can go in for window treatments with motorized operating systems.  Hunter Douglas offers manual and motorized lifting systems that can make life convenient and put the control at your fingertips. Moreover, these are safer when you have children and pets around. The motorized lifting systems are radio frequency or infra-red based. The radio frequency based motorized systems are powerful enough to lift or lower the shades of multiple rooms at the same time.

When it comes to insulation, Hunter Douglas has developed innovative double-celled honeycomb shades that provide you with extra insulation without darkening the room. Their window treatments are said to have a high R-value, which is the degree of heat resistance. Therefore you can lower your energy bills considerably.

Hunter Douglas offers you a five to seven year guarantee on their lifting systems and offers to replace any broken or defective part that is not a result of wearing out due to daily usage. The cost of your window treatments will depend on your window size, type of product, choice of lifting system, choice of fabric and the level of customization.

What’s more? Hunter Douglas is committed to being environmentally friendly. Besides handling manufacturing units that aim at conserving non-renewable resources, Hunter Douglas is helping millions across America to save energy and reduce their carbon footprint.
