Shades
Window Shades are one of the most intriguing window fashions. There are many different kinds of shades. For example, there are roller shades. They are typically made of vinyl but can also be made from fabric. The most popular fabric shades are balloon shades, Roman shades and Austrian shades.There are different fabric choices on shades - woven, linen, crinkle-textured, and a room-darkening semi-opaque material.

All of these types of shades can add a wonderful variety to your range of choices that can be used to decorate your home or office.

Shutters

The classic look and the down-to-earth practicality of blinds and shades make them ideal choices for bringing a sense of style to both modern and traditional interiors.

We specialize in caring Hunter Douglas products. In design language, a blind is a tailored window covering consisting of horizontal slats or vertical vanes, which can be opened and closed, made from sturdy materials such as aluminum, vinyl, or wood.
There are a variety of different types of blinds. A window covering made from soft fabric or fabric-like material shade is called a shade. Shades lend themselves to a broad range of decorative styles. They most commonly roll or fold up from the bottom to the top.

Shutters are usually made of wood slats used to allow air to flow through but not to admit sunlight.

Blinds, shutters, and the visual softness of shades offer beauty and function in a neat package; each is capable of standing on its own or combining with lavish layers of draperies and top treatments for a highly personalized window statement.

The Yardstick is a full service Hunter Douglas's dealer for over 20 years.
Hunter Douglas is known for having developed the first aluminum venetian blind in the 1940's. Since that time, the company has brought a myriad of remarkable new products to consumers. Today, under one banner,Hunter Douglas Window Fashions offers a wide range of products:

Shutters

Shutters are valued for their practicality and traditional look. They can be made of solid wood but most often they have movable slats to admit light and views. A more recent innovation is shutters made of PolySatin vinyl. These have the advantage of being warp- and crack-proof, which suits them to high-usage and high-humidity locations such as bathrooms and kitchens.

Honeycomb Shades

If you want a shade with an energy efficiency rating and insulation value, the Honeycomb shades are right for you.

Some honeycomb shades have reflective metal finishes, others have blackout linings, and still others are sheer. If desired,
there is also available a battery-operated remote control that can raise and lower shades at the touch of a button.


Privacy Sheers - Luminette®

These meld the light-softening quality of a sheer drapery with the privacy and adjustable control of blinds. Vertical vanes of soft fabric are bonded to a single sheer facting fabric. When the sheers are drawn closed, the vanes can be rotated with the twist of a wand to provide privacy, or tilted open for filtered light. Luminette reduces glare and provided UV protection during the day, while providing a soft-focus view; by night, it offers complete privacy with the luxurious look of draperies.

Luminette sheers are a natural choice for French doors, sliding doors and walls of windows, where both light and privacy are a priority.

• Luminette®

• Luminette® Privacy Sheers

• Luminette® Evening Star®

• Luminette® with PowerGlide®

• SoftTrak™

• Window Shadings - Silhouette®

Window shadings offer the best of all possible worlds: the light control of a blind, the easy operation of a shade, and the soft, light-filtering translucence of a sheer curtain.

Types of Blinds

Horizontal Blinds

Consists of slats that reach from the floor to the ceiling or top of the window horizontally rather than vertically. The blind consists of slats that can be stacked up by means of a pull cord. Another control tilts the slats for as much light control and privacy as desired.


Aluminum Blinds

Horizontal blinds that come with slats ranging from micro (1/2") to mini (1") to broader (2") widths.Their clean-lined design makes them suitable in almost any room decor. They are particularly compatible with modern architecture.

Miniblinds can be cut to fit around air conditioners and window cranks, and custom-fitted to unusual window shapes. Stacking space for aluminum blinds is minimal; a 6' blind stacks to less than 6" fully raised.


Wood Blinds

These are valued for their handsome, natural look durability, and insulation properties. They come in 1" and 2" slat widths. More expensive than aluminum blinds, the best wood blinds are made of natural American hardwoods such as ash cherry, oak, basswood, or maple as well as pine, and are kiln-dried to prevent warping, splitting, or twisting.
