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 is the best blind or shade to use on a sliding glass door? You want privacy and light control, but you also need to freely operate the door and walk in and out. 
Just Right Blinds & Shutters has several great ideas from Hunter Douglas for homeowners who want the ideal treatment for their sliding glass door. There’s something for every décor and decorating budget.
Options include Luminette Privacy Sheers (an especially elegant choice), Duette Honeycomb Shades with Vertiglide, NewStyle Shutters with bi-fold and bypass track systems, and Skyline Gliding Window Panels. Hunter Douglas also offers several choices of custom vertical blinds including Cadence Soft Verticals and Somner Custom Vertical Blinds.
Here are some quick details on each option:
Luminette Privacy Sheers: These soft, sheer drapery-style blinds feature fabric vanes that rotate for privacy while controlling the light and providing superior UV protection.
Duette Honeycomb Shades with Vertiglide: Crisp, neat honeycomb construction creates air pockets for energy efficiency and a classic look. Vertiglide operation opens and closes the blind from side to side, with options for left, right, split-center or traveling center stack.
NewStyle Hybrid Shutters: The look of wood with the strength and micro-smooth finish of modern materials makes these shutters a naturally beautiful choice. Bi-fold and bypass track mounting systems also make them a versatile choice for sliding glass doors.
Skyline Gliding Window Panels: Innovative screen shade fabrics reduce the heat and glare in a room while offering a sleek, urban look. There are 5 opacity categories to select from and over 600 fabrics, plus left, right or split stack.
Cadence Soft Vertical Blinds: Curved vanes mimic soft drapery folds while a patented headrail reduces light gaps and allows smooth, trouble-free side to side operation.
Somner Custom Vertical Blinds: Enjoy easy operation, superior light control, and a large selection of vinyl, fabric and aluminum styles in a wide array of colors, textures and patterns.
