The Right Roller Shade for Homes
So, you have decided on adding roller shades to your home. First off, congratulations! Deciding on a shade type is the half the battle to giving your windows the upgrade that they deserve. Of course, that still leaves the other part of the battle: selecting the right roller shade for homes. With a variety of options, it can be hard to decide on just one. That is why we are here to help! By explaining the nature of roller shades, why Hunter Douglas is the best option, and a summary of each type of roller shade, we hope to bring you one step closer to finding the right roller shade for your space.
What is a Roller Shade?
Many window treatments are self-explanatory. Wooden shutters are made out of wood and drapery is a thicker material placed on your windows. Roller shades, however, are not so cut and dry. That is why the first step in finding the right roller shade for homes is knowing what a roller shade is. Getting their name from their operation, roller shades open and close by gently rolling smoothly on a track. This gives you your ideal levels of shade or sun without fussing around with any cords. In fact, these shades are completely cordless, making them perfect for homes with small pets or children.
Why Hunter Douglas?
Next up on our journey to finding the right roller shades for homes is learning why Hunter Douglas is the right brand to choose from. Sure, big box stores will carry roller shades, but they will most likely not carry the quality and style offered from Hunter Douglas. No matter the style of shade you choose, Hunter Douglas roller shades promise unparalleled quality, styles, and designs for you to choose from. You can also select from a wide spectrum of light control, UV protection, fabric choices, and more to create the perfect shade.
Which Roller Shade is Right for Me?
Last but not least, on our journey is finding and selecting the right roller shade for homes! Hunter Douglas offers four different roller shade types for you to choose from, including Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades, Designer Roller Shades, Designer Screen Shades, and The Alustra® Collection of Roller Shades.
- Sonnette™ Cellular Roller Shades feature cellular pockets that trap air at your windows to provide extra insulation and reduce your home’s energy bills with time.
- Designer Roller Shadesoffer simple, elegant fabric options that range in opacity, color, texture, and pattern, making them perfect for those who want a crisp, creative look.
- Designer Screen Shades are designed with sunrooms, patios, and other outdoor areas in mind thanks to their UV protection and varying opacity levels that help filter out harsh sunlight.
- The Alustra® Collection of Roller Shades features fabrics selected from around the globe to create a truly luxurious window treatment that you can enjoy for years to come.
