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.

Do Hunter Douglas Roman Shades Protect Against Heat Loss in Winter and Heat Gain in Summer?




         

It’s a scientific fact that heat is attracted to cold.  In winter months, indoor heating moves toward and escapes through windows to the outdoors.  Without energy-efficient window coverings, as much as 50 percent of the home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost.  Vignette Tiered and Vignette Tiered Architella shades provide your home with increased protection against heat loss during the winter, as well as minimizing the sun’s heat or “solar heat” during the summer.  Todd Zimmerman says, “An extra layer of fabric on the back of the Tiered Architella shade forms air pockets that trap air, creating added insulation against outside temperature and noise.”

Do Hunter Douglas Silhouette Window Shadings Protect Room Interiors?


     
   

Ultraviolet (UV) light is an invisible part of sunlight.  Because UV light damages furnishings, it is sometimes called the “invisible enemy.”  Just as sunscreen protects skin from the sun’s damaging ultralight rays.  Silhouette window shadings protect room interiors to increase the lifespan of valuable possessions. 

Provide Ultralight Protection

Silhouette sheers and vanes combine to provide up to 88 percent ultraviolet protection with the shading down and the vanes open; and 99 percent with the vanes closed.

Enhanced Natural Daylighting

Sheers disperse sunlight deep into the room, reducing the need for electric lights to brighten rooms in winter, spring, summer and fall.
