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.

Generation Y Prefers Modern Looking Homes with Technology


Gen Y-ers, also known as millennials, those born after 1980 to about 2000, want a home that hollers "entertain me." Priorities include an entertainment center with automated sound and lighting all controlled from their smartphones or tablets.  Gen Y also wants motorized blinds, fitness areas, movie theaters and an office with Wi-Fi. Places to congregate are more important than a big home or apartment.  Common patios instead of private yards: People want to be outside their homes, but they don’t want big, thirsty lawns. Most Gen Y’s want only a place to gather with friends and cook outdoors.


They do desire a big living room space for home theater type set-up as TV, movies, and video games are part of daily life now. Gen Y wants space to eat meals while glued to the tube, because dinner parties and families gathered around the table are so “last-Gen.”

This generation is emerging socially and wants amenities that enhance that aspect of its life. So instead of a place to settle down, Gen-Y homeowners might be more interested in the home as a social hub.

Technology is second-nature to this generation. They're completely wired. So a Gen-Y home, more than any other, will practically hum with electronics.

Think beautiful stone for walls, floors, fireplaces in Your Home!


Long-lasting stone adds a sense of nature and permanence.  Stone can become the dramatic focal point of a room, especially when used as an exposed wall or fireplace surround. Most types of stone can be finished to be smooth and polished, rough and unpolished, or even fire-finished for a rustic look. Stone choices are almost unlimited, and each comes in oh-so-many colors and naturally-occurring patterns:

- Slate
- Limestone
- Soapstone
- Granite
- Onyx
- Sandstone
- Brick
- Marble
- Travertine

An expert can help you select not just the stone that will look best in your house, but also the type of stone that will work best for how you're going to use it. Some types of stone are more durable than others or can be treated for heavy use more successfully than others. Depending where you live, you may even be able to go to a stone yard to select the pieces of stone that will be used in your home. It’s an experience not to be missed!   
Explore the world of stone to add a new dimension to your home.
