Is it time to update those old bedroom shades? Well before you do, be sure to take a look at the newest innovation from Hunter Douglas; Duette Architella Shades. These shades use a uniqe honeycomb design that has a cell within the cell. This multi cell design provides increased insulation values, and actually adds beauty to the shade. The extra layer of fabric and air space allows the light to filter through the face fabric even if there is a room darkening lining in the center, allowing the shade to remain three dimensional in appearance.

This is one of the largest shutters we have ever installed. The arched window measured over 12 feet wide and just under six feet tall. The bottom of the arch was approximtaely fifteen feet off the floor. Thankfully, we don’t install these everyday, but we could. Link

Although not traditionally considered by home buyers, architects or builders, the planning and budgeting for window treatments prior to the building phase is fast becoming one of the most important trends in residential construction today. There are many practical reasons for this shift, not the least of which is ensuring there is a sufficient budget for the home buyer to choose window treatments that adequately complement a dream home.

Available choices in treatments today are much more varied than ever before. The home buyer must choose from selections that include traditional draperies, simple blinds or shades, increasingly popular plantation shutters, or window film that reduces glare, fading and heat gain. Along with these options, the savvy homeowner is likely to ask that these treatments be motorized and possibly interact with a home automation system.
