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.

Just Right Blinds & Shutters Offers Blinds to Reduce Heat from Skylights

Block summer heat from a bedroom skylight with a Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb Shade.
Block summer heat from a bedroom skylight with a Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb Shade.

Skylights give your rooms a brighter, more open and airy feeling beyond what standard windows can offer. Skylights, however, have the potential to let sunlight overheat your rooms in summer and allow heat to escape in winter. What can you do?
Just Right Blinds & Shutters has skylight shades from Hunter Douglas that will help you stay comfortable this summer and all year round. Here are tips on how to choose the right style of skylight shade:
Choose for location
If your skylights are in areas that get a lot of sun—especially bedrooms or media rooms—you might want to consider skylight shades with a room-darkening or blackout fabric. If they're in rooms like kitchens or bathrooms that don't require complete darkness, choose a light-filtering fabric that will bring in natural light while still blocking harsh rays. 
Choose for energy efficiency & sound absorption
Cellular shades like Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades, are one of the most popular skylight window treatments because their cellular design provides a layer of insulation at the window. 
For even more energy efficiency, there's a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb shade called Duette® Architella® that features more layers of fabric and insulating air pockets. Considering how much sun might be coming through your skylights and the fact that up to 50% of a home's heating and cooling energy can be lost through your windows, Duette Architella shades can be a worthwhile investment.
The extra layer of insulation from Duette or Duette Architella can also help absorb unwanted sounds from the outside, another benefit for a bedroom or media room.
Choose for the operating system
Skylight blinds and shades are hard to reach, so you need an operating system made specially for them. With Hunter Douglas, it's easy to find.  For example, Duette and Duette Architella honeycomb shades are available with a Skylift™ system that lets you control your shades either manually with a hand crank or telescoping pole for hard-to-reach skylight windows, or automatically with the PowerView® Motorization system.
Choose to blend with your decor
Hunter Douglas blinds are a great choice for skylight windows because you can select from such a wide range of styles, colors and textures to fit any décor, from traditional to contemporary. There’s a choice available that’s sure to suit your needs.
Keep in mind that since skylights are often focal points of a room, you'll want a skylight window covering that doesn't detract from the décor, but adds to the overall style. 
For more information about Hunter Douglas window treatments for skylights, contact Todd Zimmerman, Just Right Blinds & Shutters, Direct: 630.292.3756, tz@JustRightBlinds.com, www.JustRightBlinds.com. Todd is ready to consult with you on your skylight coverings and all your window treatment needs, and provides free measuring, estimates, and installation.
