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 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.

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.
