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.

How Do You Bring Dirty Blinds and Tired Draperies Back to Life?

Ultrasonic cleaning from Just Right Blinds will clean and brighten your blinds and revive your draperies.


Honeycomb blinds, metal blinds, vertical blinds, pleated shades, roman shades, wood or faux wood blinds, Silhouettes, Luminettes, Country Woods, Everwoods – all are cleaned in our shop with ultrasonic blind cleaning equipment. You can drop-off your window treatments for service or we’ll schedule a pick-up for take-down and re-installation service.

Drapery cleaning is also available. Call us to schedule take-down & re-installation of your draperies.

WHAT IS ULTRASONIC BLIND CLEANING?

Ultrasonic blind cleaning is a revolutionary method of cleaning your window treatments through the use of sound waves, which thoroughly clean your blinds/shades in a fast, efficient way. When the process is complete you will have a window treatment that is free from odors, dust, soot and allergens.

WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE BLINDS ULTRASONICALLY CLEANED?

Not only does ultrasonic cleaning improve the appearance of your blind or shade, but our process actually lengthens the life of your window covering and improves the airquality of your home or office environment as well. Ultrasonic cleaning eliminates bacteria, smoke and germs that cause allergies.

HOW DOES ULTRASONIC CLEANING WORK?

Within our ultrasonic tank, transducers create sound waves. These sound waves produce microscopic bubbles that implode (not explode), creating a vacuum that pulls dirt particles from an object. Because these bubbles are so small, every nook and cranny is cleaned!

Just Right Blinds & Shutters Introduces the Hunter Douglas Solar Energy Sensor for Window Treatments


The ultimate control for wireless motorization provides added convenience and may help reduce energy costs in the home. It is also great for those hard to reach windows.

Mount the solar Energy Sensor directly to the window pane, the solar energy sensor detects solar energy entering a home through a window and sends a radio frequency signal to raise or lower window coverings to increase energy efficiency. No cords. The solar energy sensor operates off a watch size battery. Call Todd at Just Right Blinds 630.292.3756 for more information and how it can adapt to your PowerRise shades.

Also available at Just Right Blinds is a new Hunter Douglas RF adapter that controls operation of blinds from an AC power outlet. Flip a switch on a switched outlet to open and shut a blind or you can use the RF adapter in conjunction with a simple lamp timer.
Just Right Blinds can provide all these accessories and more by contacting Todd at 630.292.3756 for free consultation and estimates. Installation is always free at Just Right Blinds. www.justrightblinds.com

ELEGANT LIVING


Formal living rooms will always hold their own against family rooms as one of the most essential elements of a home, both for entertaining purposes and simply for decoration. Sally Morse, Director of Creative Services for window fashions leader Hunter Douglas and the design expert, offers the following advice on how to adorn a formal living room in homes today:

Traditional versus Contemporary: Just because this room is deemed “formal” does not automatically mean it must have a traditional setting. This room is a reflection of the tastes and styles of the homeowner, both in attitude and furnishings, and should be decorated to suit them.

If you tend towards contemporary looks you will gravitate towards statement pieces; one picture on the wall, for example, versus the eight you might find in a traditional interior. And, in traditional décor, shapes are more ornate and finishes are mellow – they look as if they have been aged at least a decade.

Floorcoverings: Luxurious decorations take precedence in the formal living room with the floor serving as the launching pad. For a more traditional feel, use Oriental rugs in common shades of red, orange, yellow and blue. For a more contemporary flare, rugs with geometric patterns or exotic animal prints such as black-and-white zebra stripes add a zesty element.

Window Treatments: Elegance at the window is key, particularly as this room typically resides at the front of the home, giving the first impression of the style of the rest of what’s inside. Luminette® Modern Draperies from Just Right Blinds & Shutters a Hunter Douglas distributor feature beautiful woven fabrics that offer the look and function of traditional draperies, while making a consistent, clean, modern statement. Unlike traditional draperies, they also offer quick delivery, easy motorization options and the Hunter Douglas Lifetime Guarantee. They’re modern, but with a softness that can work in any design style.

Luminette Modern Draperies also offer a very popular Dual Panel design where the drapery is combined with sheer fabrics on one headrail. This allows for the best of both worlds, the rotating fabric vanes of the sheer providing light and privacy control and the drapery providing elegance.

Walls: Fill this area with decorative items such as gilded mirrors and wall sconces that make the eye wander around the room. Paint hues should be simple so they do not compete with the furnishings and other decorative elements. Colors such as taupe, beige or even a light gold work best. Again, for a more contemporary feel pare down the number of items.

Final Touches: Finish off the look with important accessories including lamps, antique clocks and decorative books, or even a whimsical chandelier. Remember quality over quantity, whatever your style, as you want the room to emit elegance, not clutter.

Using these tips, your living room will be fit to entertain in no time.

WHAT’S NEW IN WINDOW FASHIONS?

When you’re wondering what’s new in window fashions, there’s no place else to look. Hunter Douglas, the window fashions leader, has the answers – innovation, design, energy efficiency, child safety features and convenience, all supported by superior quality manufacturing and customer service and the industry-exclusive Lifetime Guarantee. The industry’s first hybrid shutter – NewStyle® hybrid shutters – has important enhancements such as the state-of-the-art UltraGrain™ finish that replicates the color and grain pattern of real wood stated Todd Zimmerman at Just Right Blinds & Shutters in Wheaton, IL.

The Perfect Blend of Nature, Technology and Design
NewStyle hybrid shutters is now the only hybrid shutter on the market that offers the color and grain pattern of real stained wood while still providing the strength, stability and straightness of modern-day materials. It’s the perfect blend of nature, technology and design; the brand new UltraGrain™ finish takes color options to a whole new level and was created using a highly innovative industry-exclusive manufacturing process.
The finish comes in four distinctive colors – Golden Oak, Warm Cherry, Amaretto and Bahama Brown. These colors are on-trend with the current hardwoods look – which tends towards darker woods – match interior woodwork and coordinate with Heritance® hardwood shutters. The solid color offering also includes a refreshed color palette following the latest design trends and includes Pure White, Soft White, Warm Cream, Cameo White and new to the line, Eggshell and Linen.
All NewStyle shutters also include the Finetech® finish, which is smooth and lustrous to the touch and beautiful to the eye. There are hundreds of configuration possibilities and expanded frame styles with 11 options in all. Framed specialty shapes will now be offered as well. A new Decorative Valance conceals Bi-Fold and Bypass track system hardware, complementing the elegant styling. The colors, frames and configurations of the NewStyle offering coordinate beautifully and effortlessly with the Custom Shutter Collection, which includes Heritance hardwood shutters and Palm Beach™ polysatin shutters. NewStyle is ideal for consumers who want the prestige of quality shutters and Hunter Douglas brand name at a price that fits comfortably within a budget.

WHAT’S NEW IN WINDOW FASHIONS?
Backed by the Hunter Douglas Lifetime Guarantee, NewStyle hybrid shutters are highly energy efficient in winter and summer, with an R-value of 6.01 and a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient of 0.17. And, like most Hunter Douglas product offerings, NewStyle hybrid shutters have passed rigorous standards and test procedures and are GREENGUARD Indoor Air Certified® and also certified by GREENGUARD for Children & SchoolsSM. Like all Hunter Douglas Custom Shutters, NewStyle hybrid shutters are cordless by design, eliminating the potential safety hazard posed by operating cords. They’re also custom designed and assembled in the U.S., so delivery is fast.
“Hunter Douglas offers the only hybrid shutter on the market with a finish like UltraGrain, which brings the natural warmth and beauty of a real wood look into the home with the strength and quality of NewStyle,” said Todd Zimmerman, Owner of Just Right Blinds & Shutters “Wood looks are so popular today and UltraGrain and the other enhancements that increase shutter options and coordination within a home provide the solutions customers are seeking.”
