5 Ways Modern Roller Shades Defy Expectations
When it comes to drama, energy efficiency, or UV protection, roller shades aren’t the first window covering that comes to mind for many homeowners. But we’re here to change your mind. This deceptively simple form of window treatment actually boasts an incredible variety: different styles with features and benefits that any California homeowner will love.
At The Drapery Shop, our team of window treatment experts explores 5 ways that modern roller shades from Hunter Douglas exceeds the expectations for roller shades with new takes on this classic window treatment.
5 Ways Modern Roller Shades Exceed Expectations
1. With Better Energy Efficiency
With your windows estimated to be responsible for up to 30% of the unwanted energy exchange in your home, insulated window shades can make a huge difference in its energy efficiency. Sonnette® Roller Shades are a unique style of roller shade from Hunter Douglas constructed with a hiddenlayer of honeycomb shaped cells that empowers this treatment with the insulating ability of cellular shades. With a heightened benefit to insulate your home’s windows or doors, Sonnette® Roller Shades help to maintain a comfortable and consistent interior environment year-round.
2. With Blackout Abilities
Designer Roller Shades with the Duolite® feature are actually two shades on one roller. This innovative design uses a front light filtering shade and a rear room-darkening shade both controlled through a single unit. With two shades in one, roller shades with Duolite® give homeowners the ability to create a wide range of interior lighting solutions. So no matter the mood you’re looking to set or whatever the lighting needs in a room may be, these advanced roller shades can respond accordingly.
3. With UV Protection
UV rays can cause serious and sometimes irreversible damage to items throughout a home, causing warping, peeling, cracking, discoloration, or premature aging in flooring, paint, fabrics, and furnishings. Hunter Douglas, however, makes a line of Designer Solar Shades that have a semi-opaque translucency and can filter out UV rays with adept precision to protect your home from prolonged UV exposure. This protection helps homeowners avoid the cost of repairing or replacing sun-damaged items—while enjoying privacy or outside views with your choice of five different opacity levels.
4. With Modern Textiles
Enjoy the beauty and elegance of roller shades in a globally sourced collection of natural and woven textiles in the Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades collection by Hunter Douglas. This line of exclusive fabric roller shades include designer options from Lori Weitzner and over 70 fabric color choices in the Alustra Collection®, ensuring you’ll find an exact match no matter what you're looking for in your next set of custom roller shades.
5. With Advanced Motorization
Available on Designer Roller Shades, Designer Solar Shades, Designer Banded Shades, Sonnette Roller Shades, and Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades; the motorized control system PowerView® Automation updates basic window treatments with motorized movement and the latest in user control. Homeowners can select from the handheld or wall-mounted Pebble® remote, the globally accessible PowerView® app on your smartphone or tablet, or add utlilzation with the PowerView® Hub to their existing smart home or home assistant programs for convenient voice control.
