Custom window coverings have come so far in the last 10 years. With all the  high quality brands that we carry such as Hunter Douglas, Levolor, Shade-o-matic and more the options are endless. The basic roller shade is no more! Roller shades are now available with fun tapes, tassels and even Swarovski crystal elements. Can you imagine a beautiful white roller shade with Swarovski chain trim running across the bottom of the shade? Then top it all off with a unique star fish or baroque shaped Swarovski crystal dangling and sparkling as a pulley at the bottom of the shade.

Do you have unique style? Indulge in the exquisite textures and metallic finishes available with the Hunter Douglas Alustra collection. Alustra offers unique, distinctive details and custom combinations. This truly is a signature collection for those who seek out the best in design.

Not just an ordinary vertical blind anymore. With all the new options such as the Luminette Privacy Sheer from Hunter Douglas, the standard vertical has been elevated to a whole new level. The Luminette has the function and practicality of the original vertical but has soft vanes set between translucent sheers; bestow the privacy of soft draperies.

Make sure that you have no worry about your children or pets getting tangled up, or that you whether or not you will get that clean seamless look that the cordless blinds and shades can offer. Literally with the ease of a finger; raise and lower your blinds and shades without having any cords or chains hanging down.

Pirouette blinds are a style of blind we currently offer from Hunter Douglas. The particular characteristics of these window coverings lend them to being able to control light in very useful ways. This control allows you to have the best environment possible inside your home right when you want it.

The vanes on these blinds are soft and horizontal. They are mounted to a single sheer sheet of fabric, this lends to an appearance of the vanes floating on the window without all the vertical structure of most blinds. You can control the light you allow in by adjusting how far up the vanes are tilted while still allowing privacy due to the fabric they are mounted to.

To maximize the amount of light allowed in you simply pull the shades all the way up using Hunter Douglas’ UltraGlide head rail. To get the softest and sleekest look, even the head rail can be covered in the same fabric as the blind is made of. It will appear to be a floating piece of fabric on your window that is capable of all kinds of light allowance options. Quite a step up from the curtains your mother use to sew by hand and hang on a rod!

To summarize; you have the option of either closing the vanes completely for maximum privacy, opening the vanes to various degrees to allow differing amounts of light in while maintaining privacy, to completely opening the window for an unobstructed view. They really are a ‘do everything’ option from Hunter Douglas Canada!
