Choose Innovative Banded Window Shades from Hunter Douglas

Fall and winter brings the extension of evening hours, a cooling trend coming out of the humidity and heat of a New England summer. And while we all want to welcome the coming festive holiday season, we also want to maximize the amount of that warm, natural sunlight coming into our homes, especially as it gets darker outside earlier in the day.

At Barrows Custom Window Treatments, we know how the smart use of innovative window treatments like banded window shades or sheer shades can let in lots of natural light, but in an intentional manner.

This fall and winter season, upgrade your home with innovative shades that mimic the look of blinds but offer unique functionality with the addition of sheer fabric panels. Enjoy the daytime sun and clear views or evening privacy with options from the nation’s leading window treatment brand, Hunter Douglas.

Shades with Innovative Light Control

Designer Banded Shades

Looking for view-through visibility, light control, and privacy all in one window treatment? Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades, sometimes also called zebra shades, are a type of banded window shade that offers all three of these benefits, while bringing a chic modern look and strong linear design to your windows.

Featuring an innovative design with alternating sheer and solid fabric bands, their solid textiles block light while the sheer slats filter the sun’s UV rays for a range of interior lighting options that can be seamlessly transitioned between light and privacy thanks to this treatment’s roller shade base that makes operation effortless.

The operating style also makes banded shades ideal for large windows, as they can handle both the size and the extra sunlight that exceptionally tall or broad windows let in to your home.

Banded window shades can also be used on bay or corner windows, as well as patio doors, for protection and light control anywhere the sun streams into your home.

Hunter Douglas Designer Banded Shades can be upgraded to a motorized operating system with PowerView® Automation. This automated system makes controlling light at home both more precise and more convenient with the Pebble® remote, the PowerView® app, or when paired with your smart home devices for convenient control anywhere.

Hunter Douglas Sheer Shades

Like with banded window shades, sheer shades from Hunter Douglas offer innovative light control through the use of both translucent and opaque materials. In their case, soft sheer material is the base with adjustable opaque fabric vanes attached to sheer panels. The sheer materials diffuse sunlight while the opaque fabrics deflect or absorb it, and the result is interior illumination that’s welcoming and highly controlled.

In this way, our sheer shadings are like banded window shades in that they excel at harmonizing beautiful views, balancing privacy and light control to create comfortable and welcoming home environments.

Operating Systems

In addition to sheer shades and banded window shades that offer innovative light control, Hunter Douglas also has several advanced operating systems that can manage the amount of light and privacy in your home.

Create internal illumination tailored to your individual household needs. The advantage of these state-of-the-art operating systems is that they are compatible with several different styles of window treatments.

• Duolite®: An inventive design for window shades that combines two roller shades onto a single roller unit. The front shade filters light, the back shade blocks it, and together they create a treatment with exceptional room-darkening abilities. Duolite® is available on select styles of cellular honeycomb shades, woven shades, Roman shades, and roller shades.

• Top-Down/Bottom-Up: Increase the number of ways your shades can allow (or block) light with an operating system that can operate from the Top-Down or Bottom-Up. This system allows shades to be opened from the bottom up in the traditional way or the shade can also be lowered down from the top for multi-directional movement. More options for movement equate to a more well-rounded ability to control light. The Top-Down/Bottom-Up system is available on select styles of woven wood shades, cellular honeycomb shades, and Roman shades by Hunter Douglas.
