Designer Screen Shades

The new collection of Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades offers some great new options including a completely new motorization system.  At left is the new light weight and easy to use sample book.

Wide Array of Color

The book contains a total of 93 selections in solids and stripes all featured on large removable swatches.

 

Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades are excellent for controlling glare. They are highly durable and soil resistant.  Just use a damp cloth is all that's needed to clean them. They coordinate well with both traditional and contemporary decors

Operation
You'll love the all new clutch operation.  It's quiet (really quiet!), easy and smooth —making even the largest screen shades raise and lower with ease.

 

The new clutch comes standard on all shades that use the new "cassette"  headrail system, which makes  installing with overhead brackets easier than standard roller shade techniques.

Or, there's a new 110 volt AC motors are available exclusively for Designer Screen Shades.  

Either plug the shades in to a standard electrical plug or wire them directly.  

The motor is housed inside the shade's roller tube.  It carries a 5 year warranty.

Unlike other motorization systems for Hunter Douglas products, these shades are operated with a Radio 
Frequency (RF) signal which provides function —even from different parts of the house— without having to be in to stay within the "line of site" of the transmitter, as is necessary with products that use Infrared technology instead.  Above from left to right are the wireless transmitter, the wireless wall switch and the wireless timer/wall switch
