Hunter Douglas is one of the most recognized names in window fashions, known for innovation in light control, energy efficiency, and motorization. As a Hunter Douglas dealer, we can offer the full range of shades, shutters, blinds, and drapery under one roof.
Blinds use adjustable slats of wood, metal, or faux wood to direct light. Shades are made from fabric and raise or lower to filter or block light. Shutters are hinged panels with louvers that mount to the window frame and become a permanent architectural feature of the home.
Cellular shades are a top choice because their honeycomb construction traps air and helps insulate against heat gain. Solar and light-filtering roller shades cut glare while preserving the view, and plantation shutters offer excellent control of strong afternoon sun.
Yes. Many Hunter Douglas fabrics are designed to filter harmful UV rays, which helps protect flooring, artwork, and upholstery from sun damage. We’ll recommend the right fabric opacity for rooms that get the most direct sun.
For room darkening, we typically recommend blackout cellular shades, room-darkening roller shades, or Roman shades with a blackout liner. Shutters with tightly closing louvers are another strong option. We’ll explain how side gaps and mounting style affect how dark the room gets.
Sheer shades are ideal: their adjustable fabric vanes let you soften daylight while limiting the view in. Top-down/bottom-up options on cellular and Roman shades are another popular solution, letting light in from above while keeping the lower window covered.
Moisture-resistant materials perform best in Florida’s humidity. Vinyl and composite shutters, metal blinds, and moisture-friendly shade fabrics hold up well where real wood could warp over time.
Wood shutters offer a rich, natural finish and a wide range of stain colors. Vinyl shutters are highly durable and moisture-resistant, making them ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. Composite shutters combine the look of painted wood with added durability and resistance to warping.
For many homeowners, yes. Plantation shutters are built to fit each window, provide excellent light and privacy control, and add architectural character that buyers notice. They’re one of the longest-lasting window treatment options available.
Yes. Most Hunter Douglas products are available with PowerView motorization, which lets you control your window treatments from a remote, the PowerView app, or voice assistants. You can also set schedules so shades adjust automatically throughout the day.
Aura Illuminated Shades are Hunter Douglas window treatments with built-in lighting that creates soft, natural-looking daylight on demand. Available in Vignette Modern Roman, Designer Roller, and Sonnette Cellular Roller styles, they let you adjust brightness and color temperature through the PowerView app, which is perfect for a gentle sunrise wake-up or evening ambiance.
Yes. We offer cordless and motorized options across many product lines, which removes dangling cords and gives your windows a cleaner look. We’re happy to recommend the safest choice for every room.
Vertical shades and vertical blinds are designed for wide openings and sliding doors, drawing to the side for easy access. Sheer panels and drapery are also a beautiful option, either on their own or layered over shades for added softness and light control. Motorization makes very large windows effortless to operate.
In many cases, yes. Shutters and certain shade styles can be custom-built for arches, angles, and specialty shapes. During your consultation we’ll measure these windows carefully and show you what’s possible.
Woven wood shades are crafted from natural materials such as bamboo, reeds, and grasses for an organic, textured look. Woven shades offer a similar woven texture in a wider range of materials and colors. Both can be paired with privacy or room-darkening liners.
iTints Electric Smart Film is an advanced window technology that switches glass from clear to private instantly at the touch of a button. Beyond on-demand privacy, it provides infrared heat rejection, UV protection, and added safety and security, and it can even be used for advertising and brand display on commercial glass. It’s a sleek, modern alternative to traditional blinds and curtains.
Pricing depends on the product, fabric, window sizes, number of windows, and whether you add motorization. Because every order is custom-made, we provide a precise quote after your free consultation and measurement.
Because every product is custom-fabricated, timing depends on the product line and options you choose. We’ll give you an estimated timeline when you place your order and schedule installation as soon as it arrives.
Our window treatments are backed by a five-year product warranty and a one-year warranty on installation. We’ll review the coverage for your specific products when you order.
Most blinds, shades, and shutters need only regular dusting or light vacuuming with a brush attachment. Some fabrics can be spot-cleaned. We’ll share care guidelines for your specific products at installation.
