Hunter Douglas products are not just beautiful and highly functional, they are designed to help provide consumers with solutions to important priorities such as energy savings and child safety at the window.

For example, Duette Architella honeycomb shades, with a unique, patented honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design, provide superior energy efficiency, and are the first and only window shades without add-on insulation systems to qualify for the U.S. Federal Tax Credit on energy-efficient products through 2011. Vignette Modern Roman Shades were also the industry's first Roman shade with no exposed rear cords and were specifically designed to be that way.
