We continue to work hard to find eco-friendly window treatment options for our clients. We have a very large selection of natural woven wood and grass cloth shades. And we have been adding drapery fabrics, blinds, shades and shutters that meet various definitions of being green.

When you decide that you want to choose ‘green’ products, you need to decide in what way will the product be green. You can choose a totally natural product with no manmade parts or pieces, but if it needs to travel halfway around the world to get to you; is it eco-friendly? Being green is not easy, it takes time and an understanding of the products offered and how you will use the products. We can help you choose just the right window treatment design for your natural home.

Whether you live in the cold Northern areas of the country or the sun drenched South, window treatments are an important part of maintaining an eco-friendly home. In addition to the great potential to add beauty to any room, properly chosen window treatments should help in maintaining the desired temperature in a home.

Be sure that the treatment you choose will function as needed for your climate. Completely covering a window in colder areas may seem the best way, but be sure to take advantage of passive solar heat during the day. We suggest you choose lined draperies or roman shades for a traditional look, or in combination with newer offerings like Duette honeycomb shades. The newest version called Architella offers the highest insulation value available.

Solid wood plantation shutters are excellent insulators and allow the flexibility of allowing the solar rays into the home during the day, and closing out the cold when needed.

We are often asked about ‘Green’ products by our clients when we are designing window treatments. the problem is; how do you define green? Many materials that are totally natural will not stand up to sun rot, or the wear and tear of daily use at the window.

But, manufacturers are slowly hearing the call of the client and are developing a number of products that fill this much needed niche in the industry. Over the next few days we will discuss some of these trends and the options currently available. Link
