As homeowners turn towards more green and eco-friendly products, they are looking to their homes to decide what to purchase. This includes a focus on sustainable window treatments. Hunter Douglas offers innovative, beautiful solutions that are carefully crafted with sustainability in mind. Responsible materials and production are a large part of the process. For families looking at these options, you can learn more about how they are produced and what it means to create these outstanding shades and blinds for your home.
Making Great Products
One of the commitments to making great eco-friendly and sustainable products is through best practices in manufacturing. Hunter Douglas window treatments are GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions. The products are put through thorough tests that look at air quality and potential health risks. For companies that want to use the products as well as homeowners, it offers peace of mind to know they care about the products they introduce to homes and offices.
A beautiful collection by Hunter Douglas, Parkland Wood Blinds, offers a product crafted from the finest materials available. They are responsibly harvested from forests managed with eco-friendly concepts in mind. They have style and function, like any blind, but purchasing wood blinds also supports the Arbor Day Foundation in its conservation efforts.
Saving Homeowners Money
When it comes to cost savings, homeowners love to hear the sound of money in their pockets! We know sustainable window treatments with ‘eco-friendly’ production can sound expensive, but rest assured, we have you covered. Homeowners can enjoy fairly priced and manufactured window coverings that also save them more money in the long run. How does that work? With energy-efficient window coverings that maintain the interior temperature and regulate the sunlight coming in. Other ways include coverings that keep the home well-lit with natural light, which can save you money on energy bills. What’s not to love about that?
Top features of these blinds include letting you control the sunlight coming in, along with beautifully crafted products. Sheer shades let more light in, but cut the glare. Top-down shades let the light in at the top of the window while still maintaining privacy at the bottom. Without having to change the electricity in your home for heating and cooling, the shades will do a good amount of the work for you!
Blinds come in many shapes and sizes. One way Hunter Douglas makes life easier for you is by offering motorized blinds. Rather than using disposable batteries, a rechargeable battery wand offers new alternatives for powering your shades. Motorized blinds also shift into position any time, day or night to keep the home comfortable instead of adding money to your utility bills. Other options may include solar-powered window shades for sustainable window treatments that really take it to the next level.
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Responsible production of shades, blinds, and more comes with the need to use recycled materials that make it all work. From roller shades made from recycled ocean plastics to metal blinds crafted from recycled aluminum and more, Hunter Douglas works diligently to ensure that its products are made responsibly. Some collections use 50% materials from recycled products, all in an effort to keep materials out of landfills.
Gorgeous collections like Provenance Woven Woods offer woven fibers from natural resources. The resources used will have less negative impact on the environment due to the rapid growth rate of the fibers, like grasses, reeds, wood and bamboo. This creates a more sustainable practice for bringing these products into your home.
