Popular Upgrades for Roller Shades
Roller shades are beloved for their simple (but not simplistic) style, and the streamlined treatment makes an excellent canvass for the latest modern upgrades. In the Hunter Douglas collection popular upgrades for roller shades include improvements to operations, updates to styles, and the addition of features that make the shades more useful to homeowners.
Popular Upgrades for Roller Shades
Special Features
Thanks to modern engineering, roller shades of today operate with incredible efficiency and ease. Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas have operating systems and special features that can make the treatment feel incredibly in-tune with individual lifestyles.
- PowerView®: PowerView is the latest operating system from Hunter Douglas for motorized shades. Its control options include automated scheduling (for heighted efficiency), remote control operation for easy in-home use, the ability to synchronize with in-home smart programs, and the availability of an online app for global accessibility.
- Duolite®: Enhance light-control with the innovative Duolite system that uses two shades on a singular roller unit. One shade is light filtering the other room-darkening for a wide spectrum of lighting options.
- Child Safe: Designer Roller Shades have several cord-free operating systems that make them more child safe. Homes with young children or small pets that want the efficiency of roller shades but not the hazardous cords can opt for the LiteRise®, SoftTouch®, or PowerView operating system that are all cordless.
Fabrics
Modern roller shades come in a wide range of materials, and popular upgrades for roller shades include opting for fabrics of better quality, exclusive styles, and with more innate features.
- Screen Textiles: Man-made screen materials used in Designer Screen Shades can block up to 99% of damaging rays in natural sunlight. This protects your home and furnishings from the ravages of UV exposure and unrepairable sun damage.
- Designer Fabrics: Find exclusive designer fabrics in the Design Studio™ collection by Hunter Douglas. Rebecca Atwood, Marcie Bronkar, and Seema Krish have all created one-of-a-kind fabric collections in their unique aesthetic for home window treatments with designer style.
Energy Efficiency
Take advantage of modern advancements in designs with Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades that have a cellular construction similar to honeycomb shades. The cellular construction adds energy efficiency to the window treatments by creating an insulating layer of air that is kept trapped within the shade itself. This popular upgrade for roller shades helps prevent the unwanted transfer of energy between your home’s interior and the outside world; in other words, it keeps the heat out in the summer and that precious AC inside.
Layered Design
One of the most visually dynamic trends we see as popular upgrades for roller shades is the addition of treatment layers. Combining roller shades with full drapery or side panels add dimensions of color, texture, and interest to the window fashion.
