CUSTOM SHADES
Even though blinds and shutters can be made of different materials-hardwood, faux wood, aluminum, composites, etc.-ultimately a blind is always made of suspended slats and a shutter is constructed of rigid louvers. For homeowners that want more variety in their window treatments, shades offer the freedom the choice: Roman shades can be flat or folded. Roller shades may be solid or printed. Honeycomb shades may be light filtering or room-darkening. Barrows Custom Window Treatments is here to help homeowners sort through the many styles of shades and choose the right one to accentuate and protect their interiors.
Roller and Solar Shades
Protect your artwork and furniture with simple roller and solar shades: pull down for light-blockage, pull up for viewability. Hunter Douglas Roller Shades are designed by textile experts with prints to suit all tastes, from conversation-starting toiles to quirky chevron stripes. Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades insulate your rooms with two separate fabrics to save you both energy and money. Designer Banded Shades alternate between sheer and solid bands, combining two shades in one. Hunter Douglas Designer Roller Shades and Designer Screen Shades are developed as cost-effective window coverings adaptable to any room, with smooth operation for continued use and minimal light gaps for maximum privacy.

Hunter Douglas Vignette® Modern Roman Shades
Roman Shades
Roman Shades refer to retractable shades with pleats. Said to have originated at the Roman Coliseum as a temporary roofing structure, Roman shades are now a classic shade flaunted by even the most modern of homes. Hunter Douglas offers three distinct styles of Roman shades: Vignette® Modern Roman Shades, Solera® Soft Shades.
- Vignette® Modern Roman Shades may roll up into the headrail or stack beneath it and can be easily coordinated with home accents like decorative pillows with the Hunter Douglas Accents by the Yard™ service.
- Solera® Soft Shades maintain the clean look of traditional Roman shades, but their cellular construction gives them additional energy-saving and sound-absorbing abilities.
Customize any Hunter Douglas Roman shade with different fold styles and sizes and exclusive fabrics to create your own take on this traditional shade.
Woven Wood Shades
Woven wood shades are casual, organic style at its best. The texture of woven wood shades gives rooms dimension and depth. Their weaved construction of grass, reeds, and bamboo, are sourced from around the world, making them natural choices for coastal-themed rooms or areas that are wanting for an exotic touch.
Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Wood Shades
Hunter Douglas has two woven woods options, their traditional Provenance® Woven Wood Shades and their exclusive Alustra® Woven Textures®, a savvy light-filtering alternative natural shade. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are available in your favorite shade styles like Roman, Waterfall Roman, and Vertical Drapery and with further customization options like valances and edge banding. The Modern Headrail is a metal headrail that allows Provenance® Woven Wood shades to be used with Hunter Douglas operating systems. Alustra® Woven Textures® flaunt globally inspired design as roller shades, Roman shades, and Skyline® Gliding Window Panels to adorn windows of all sizes in silks, linens, tweeds, and more.
Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades
Cellular Honeycomb Shades
Honeycomb shades are unrivaled when it comes to insulating your rooms. Their special cellular construction traps warm and cold air to assist your heating and air conditioning in regulating your home’s temperature. Honeycomb shades so excel at insulating your home, they even boast a sound absorption ability, making them the jack of all shades.
Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades come in hundreds of fabrics and colors and may be fit to almost any window shape, including tricky skylights and sliding glass doors. Different levels of opacities are available, from sheer to room-darkening, depending on your light-blockage and privacy needs.
Hunter Douglas has even released a vertical application option with their Vertiglide™ operating system, allowing for the same ease of use as traditional horizontal honeycomb shades.
Sheer Shades
The main purpose of sheer shades is to filter harsh sunlight into soft white light. Hunter Douglas has developed three innovative sheers and shadings, including Silhouette® Window Shadings, Pirouette® Window Shadings, and Luminette® Privacy Sheers.
Hunter Douglas Silhouette® Window Shadings
- Silhouette® Window Shadings have tiltable S-shaped fabric vanes between two sheers to combine the function of blinds with the light-diffusion ability of a shade.
- Pirouette® Window Shadings function similarly, though the fabric vanes are attached to a single sheer backing for a modern, minimalistic look.
- Luminette® Privacy Sheers are vertical and cover tall windows and sliding glass doors with 180° degrees of light control and privacy.
All Hunter Douglas sheers and shadings come with room-darkening opacity options, and the new Silhouette® ClearView® Window Shadings and Silhouette® ClearView® Window Shadings feature increased viewability.
