Environmentally Friendly Window Treatments

Environmentally conscious design is anything but dowdy or unrefined these days. With modern engineering and innovation, environmentally friendly materials can be used in creative ways to not just match but enhance décor. Hunter Douglas makes several styles of high-end, environmentally friendly window treatments that are stylish and modern with state-of-the-art features including their lines of woven wood shades, solar shades, and plantation shutters.

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades Miami, Florida (FL) the best environmentally friendly window treatments from Hunter Douglas.

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades

One of the most renewable resources for environmentally friendly window treatments is bamboo thanks to its incredibly quick growing cycle that is eons faster than some wooden materials since trees mature slower. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are a line of window treatments from Hunter Douglas that use natural building materials like bamboo as well as other grasses, reeds, and woods to create organically inspired textiles that can be fashioned into Roman shades, waterfall Roman shades, or a vertical drapery. Engineered weaving techniques enhance the shade’s natural durability to prevent stretching, breaking, or bowing over time; and the textiles come in a variety of colors and textures.

Designer Screen Shades

Screen shades, also called solar shades, are excellent at blocking UV rays and controlling natural light to create indoor spaces that are protected from sun damage and have a comfortable and welcoming feel. Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades are available in a variety of fabrics with a range of weave densities that can block up to 99% of UV rays including a line of environmentally friendly fabrics named Greenscreen Sea-Tex™ fabrics. These exclusive fabrics are made from yarn that was fabricated using reclaimed plastic that had washed ashore. So, these environmentally friendly window treatments help reduce pollution along our coasts and waterways and look great in your home. Designer Screen Shades are also available with PowerView® Automation that can be scheduled following the light's rotation in your area to maximize the sun-blocking abilities and overall energy efficiency of the shade.

Heritance® Hardwood Shutters

Made from genuine basswood or poplar wood, Hunter Douglas hardwood shutters (also called plantation shutters or interior wood shutters) are built from the best natural materials with superior craftsmanship and patented dovetail construction. Their classic style and clean lines have made them popular window treatments for contemporary or traditional décor, and with endless options for stains, finishes, and paint hues including custom colors they can blend with almost any interior design style. Shutters can help reduce energy consumption in your home by allowing cooling or cross breezes to ventilate the space even while blocking inclement or sunny weather; thus, reducing your home’s overall carbon footprint. In addition, Heritance® Hardwood Shutters can be considered environmentally friendly window treatments because for every one purchased Hunter Douglas donates to the Arbor Day Foundation to support their mission of planting and protecting trees.
