Blinds are considered to be alternative window treatments. They provide a wide variety of solutions to today's need for sun protection and privacy, while at the same time they maintain a decorated home look.

The traditional 2” wood blind provide a "plantation type" look and are relatively inexpensive. Blinds are also available in 3.5” styles.

Mini-blinds come in 1- and 2-inch sizes and a multitude of colors. Hunter Douglas even has a "suede like" finish, if that suits your style. All Hunter Douglas blinds have an advanced paint coating system that reduces static electricity and prevents dust buildup.

Vertical blinds are an old standby for sliding glass doors. They range from PVC (plastic) to wonderful fabrics. New advances include sewn-in weights for fabric, which eliminates messy chains.

Sliding glass doors can easily be enhanced by using shutters that are tracked (on bypassing tracks) or that are bifold, with hinges allowing them to fold back.

Honeycomb shades are wonderful for insulating and for preventing ultraviolet rays from fading your precious belongings. They can easily be motorized for those awkward windows. Hunter Douglas even has a battery-powered remote control shade called the "Powerise".

Hunter Douglas Silhouettes® are in a class by themselves! Not quite a blind, not quite a shade. Silhouette® features silky soft fabric vanes that float between two sheer facings. The effect is like a vertical blind encased in a sheer curtain.
