Discover Hunter Douglas Green

For over 60 years, Hunter Douglas has been creating and offering natural and appealing ways to harness heat and light. In the winter, heat leaves through the window when you need it, yet becomes trapped inside in the summer when you don't. Heat loss and gain drive our energy usage up. It can be felt in our monthly utility bills and calculated in our collective carbon emissions.

Today, Hunter Douglas is committed to lowering our energy usage and implementing other changes that will ultimately reduce our carbon footprint by 20%. Our overriding goal, though, is to help our customers everywhere save energy the natural way by effectively channeling and exploiting the natural power of the sun.

Just Right Blinds & Shutters Reveals Homeowner Cost Savings from Architella Energy Efficiency Blinds

A Hunter Douglas customer had a penthouse with floor-to-ceiling glass, including the upper atrium window.  The sun warmed the condo so much in winter it didn’t need heat and in the summer the AC ran 24 hours a day.  To better manage temperature six Duette Architella Elan blinds were installed with UltraGlide shades on the lower windows and six SkyLift with PowerRise 2.1 blinds on the upper windows.  The homeowner was thrilled with the elegant appearance and the immediate improvement in the condo’s ambient temperature.  There was a 25 degree temperature change when the blinds were lowered.   Todd Zimmerman says, “The double honeycomb Architella shade forms air pockets that trap air, creating added insulation against outside temperature and noise.”
