Hunter Douglas Luminette Modern Draperies and Vignette Traversed with Vertiglide

Hunter Douglas Luminette Privacy Sheers were created to completely manage the light in your home. They enhance natural light and views while providing privacy, with soft face fabrics bonded to vertical fabric vanes. The vanes open and close like a vertical blind, but have the look of a drapery. 

Although this innovative blend of window fashions has been on the market for several years now, Hunter Douglas continues to expand and improve on this product. Hunter Douglas Luminette Privacy Sheers has introduced a new innovation: Modern Draperies.

Like long, softened pleats, the contoured  columns of fabric in the Luminette Modern Draperies create a tasteful, tailored backdrop for any room. Perfect for large windows or sliding glass doors, their superior UV protection and high R-value meet both your decorating and practical needs.

The fabric used for Modern Draperies is woven fabric instead of knit sheers. In a full panel configuration, the Modern Draperies are traverse only. The vanes do not rotate.

A dual panel configuration combines a sheer panel with the woven fabric. The sheer portion traverses and the vanes rotate. The woven fabric portion of the panel does not traverse or rotate. We think you’ll find Luminette Modern Draperies to be a big improvement over traditional custom draperies.

                                                                                                                                                  Another new Hunter Douglas product in 2011 is the Vignette Traversed with Vertiglide that combines the beauty of Vignette Traditional shades with the convenience of a vertical window covering.  It is an ideal solution for large windows and patio doors.  Vignette Traversed with Vertiglide takes the simple elegance of Vignette roman shades and turns them into panels that effortlessly glide across your windows or doors.

 

Split stack shades can go up to an impressive 32 feet and the stack back is remarkably tight! The center draw has a unique magnetic strip and privacy guard built into the vertical rail, which provide a tight closure eliminating light leaks.

Sports and Teams Roller Window Shades

 

Until recently, sports team merchandise and decor was limited to things that you might ‘add on’ to a room, too often things that don’t really have a purpose. Roller shades with your team logo aren’t just sports room decor, they are part of the room itself, allowing you to bring more team spirit without adding ‘stuff’ to your space.

 

Team logo shades are highly functional, just like traditional roller shades, except much more fun to look at! Easy to operate with one hand and safe for kids and pets (no strings), this is sports merchandise you can use. We know that most game rooms serve double duty as family rooms or general gathering space, and we offer both light-filtering or fully opaque (blackout) options so you can make the room as dark or light as you like.

Well now die hard fans are offered one more ways in which they can prove their loyalty and show their support: officially licensed, custom printed Major League Baseball  , and the newest Collegiate Collection roller shades, featuring the official logos of leading Colleges and Universties! We all know the loyalty of a college fan runs very deep. Now you can proudly support your colors with your school’s official shades.

                                                                                                                                                                              We love the enthusiasm these shades generate. What a perfect gift to delight a little boy or that man who’s still a little boy at heart.

Superior Energy Efficiency – Architella Collection from Hunter Douglas

Windows are the greatest source of wasted energy in your home. That’s because heat always moves from warm to cold areas. In winter, warm air from inside your home is trying to escape through your windows. In summer, the sun beating down conducts heat quite easily through your windows, heating up your home and straining air conditioners. In the end, you pay for this extra use of energy to heat and cool your home.

Most blinds, if built to the correct size and are installed properly, provide a layer of still air between the blind and the window pane. This layer of air provides a small amount of insulation to the room. A little air does flow through this area, but more slowly than that of an uncovered window, so there is reduced heat loss. The closer the window insulating blind edges are to the window edges, the less air flows and the less heat passes between the window and the room. (This also helps give you more heat efficient blinds both in summer, when there is more heat, and winter when it’s cooler and there is less heat.)

Duette Architella honeycomb shades feature a patented honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb construction. This provides two more air pockets than traditional honeycomb shades and dramatically increases R-values, which measure a product’s ability to keep heat in and cold out. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulation provided.  

Honeycomb within a honeycomb construction enhances the form and function of nature’s most perfect shape – colors are truer, pleats are crisper and energy efficiency is increased. 

 

  The patented honeycomb design also helps to protect home furnishings. Duette honeycomb shades are ideal in any climate, even those with abundant humidity, heat and sunshine. While many shades wilt and wither from ultraviolet sunrays and humidity, Duette shades are designed and tested to withstand whatever Mother Nature serves up.

Duette Architella honeycomb shades block up to 99% of the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays, depending on your fabric selection and boast a very high R-value of 7.73 in winter.
