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.

What’s the Hottest Blind on the Market? - Pirouette Shades



They Offer Beautiful Fabric Layers of a Roman Shade with a Sheer Backing Providing Both Light Control & UV Protection?


Enjoy different levels of light control from semi-opaque to room darkening, now available at Just Right Blinds & Shutters a Hunter Douglas Showcase Priority Dealer.
 
“We are proud to offer this product that so beautifully combines a soft look with excellent light control in new fabrics that will work in any décor, from casual settings to more formal designs,” said Todd Zimmerman of Just Right Blinds & Shutters.

There are now 24 distinct new Pirouette colors in both semi-opaque and room-darkening options.  There are two vane sizes as well – the 4” Petite and 5” Grande – for windows up to 10-feet wide and 12-feet high.  Vanes can be flattened for complete privacy, contoured for a softened light and view through the sheer backing and adjusted anywhere in between for varying degrees of light control and privacy.
  
Thanks to the Invisi-Lift™ system, the fabric vanes appear to float in the window, providing superior view to the outside. 

Pirouette specialty shadings are available for trapezoids, ovals, hexagons, octagons and circles.  They accentuate and enhance a window’s distinctive shape while providing light control, privacy and energy efficiency.

And, the shade rolls away and disappears into a sleek headrail.
  
Superior UV Protection
Pirouette shadings boast high energy-efficiency ratings as well, offering superior protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays, which will eventually fade floors, furniture, upholstery and treasured artwork.  When the vanes are open, the sheer backing reduces glare and blocks up to 81 percent of damaging UV rays and provides daytime privacy while still allowing for light and view.  When the vanes are closed, the product offers 99 percent protection against UV rays.

Do Honeycomb Blinds Insulate and Absorb Sound?


Almost immediately you can see how Duette honeycomb blinds with a cellular design insulates windows against heat and cold so you feel comfortable in any season.  And with Duette sound-absorbing blinds you’ll hear the acoustic difference with the reduction of unwanted outside noise.  Todd Zimmerman says, “The double honeycomb Architella shade forms air pockets that trap air, creating added insulation against outside temperature and noise.”

"Best of all," adds Zimmerman, "homeowners who choose Duette Architella shades don't have to sacrifice beauty for energy efficient function.  These pleated shades, available in a variety of fabrics and colors, add instant drama to any home decor." Fabrics are offered in both semi-opaque and opaque designs, giving homeowners control over light transmission.
