The TopShield™ Finish Is Applied To 
Every Slat, Valance & Bottom Rail

With more unique features, more fashion colors, new design options it's easy to see why Country Woods blinds are the finest quality in wood blinds. And it all starts with the finish. A clear topcoat called TopShield™ is applied to every wood component in Country Woods: slat, valance and bottom rail.  This topcoat provides the ultimate protection for wood blinds. It is over 5 times more durable than the average standard wood blind finish.

TopShield™ is also harder and resists scratches and damage from common household cleaning solvents. It keeps the blind's surfaces smooth and easy to clean, without the risk of damaging the appearance of the wood or the finish. It provides consistent gloss and color to the wood. The natural beauty of the wood grain shines through. The TopShield™ finish is your assurance that your Country Woods blinds will retain their beautiful appearance for years to come.

With the TopShield™ finish, you can upgrade your customer to what they really want —real wood with durable beauty.

The Grandover Valance™ is standard on all Country Woods blinds —including all 1" Classics, 1-3/8" Classics, 2" Classics, 2-5/8" Reflections, Select, and Genuine Woods (Exposé blinds have unique valance options). The Grandover Valance features a 3-1/4" height, hidden mounting clips and hidden return clips.

Optionally, even deeper 4-1/2" tall valances are availavle in two styles. The simple, yet sylish Havencrest or the more decorative Windermere. These, too, have the hidden mounting clips and hidden return clips.

With other wood blinds, trims are held to the underlying tape ladders with double-faced adhesive tape, whch can lead to problems like delamination or an unattractive bunching of the ladders when the blind is raised.

With Hunter Douglas wood blinds, the trims are actually sewn to the solid decorative tape ladder. This gives the blind better closure. Tapes stack neatly when the blind is in the raised position. 

In Country Woods Blinds, you will find tape styles that are contemporary, casual, traditional and more. Whatever the décor style is, there is a decorative tape selection to coordinate perfectly. Most of these styles are exclusive to the Hunter Douglas Country Woods® line.
