The Most Useful Upgrades for Roller Window Shades
Think roller shades are too simple? Boring? An uninteresting option for your home window treatments? Think again. Modern advancements in design and operation, plus the latest in window treatment fashions, have transformed roller window shades into a modern paradigm of style and performance. The Hunter Douglas collection has seven different types of contemporary roller shades with the latest upgrade options for homeowners.
Upgrades to the Fabrics
At their core, roller window shades are soft fabric shades, so upgrading fabrics is one of the most visual ways to update the treatment. And in the modern collection by Hunter Douglas, there are several innovative and exclusive fabrics to choose from for your next set of roller window shades.
- Alustra® Woven Textures Roller Shades: In the globally sourced collection of Alustra™ Woven Textures, homeowners will find high-end textile alternatives to solar screens and a new designer collection of fabrics from the renowned Lori Weitzner.
- Design Studio™ Roller Shades: Rebecca Atwood, Seema Krish, and Marci Bronkar have all created exclusive fabric collections for Design Studio Roller Shades for homeowners looking to add a designer touch to their new window treatments.
- Designer Solar Shades: For environmentally conscious homeowners, upgrade new roller window shades with sustainable materials like GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ fabric for Designer Solar Shades that are made from reclaimed and recycled maritime plastics.
Upgrades to the Operating Systems
For a meaningful upgrade, you’ll appreciate daily, invest in the latest operating systems that add convenience for homeowners, and improve performance through advanced control features.
- Duolite®: The Duolite system adds range to the ability of Designer Roller Shades to create different interior lighting patterns. It can do this because Duolite roller window shades are two shades in one, a light-filtering and a room-darkening shade working in tandem to filter or block sunlight.
- PowerView® Automation: For motorized roller window shades, Hunter Douglas presents the PowerView system for the ultimate in user control. PowerView has a range of interfaces for easy control and can automate shades for effortless performance. PowerView is compatible with Designer Banded Shades, Designer Roller Shades, Designer Solar Shades, Design Studio™ Roller Shades, Sonnette® Roller Shades, and Alustra® Woven Textures Roller Shades.
Roller Window Shades that are Themselves Upgrades
The modern collection of roller shades by Hunter Douglas also features advanced hybrid shades that take innovations or aesthetics from other types of window treatments and adds them to the roller design to expand the light control and additional features available from the unit.
- Sonnette® Roller Shades: With elevated energy efficiency thanks to added insulation, Sonnette Roller Shades
