Everything is getting greener, especially when it comes your home. These days, more homeowners are looking for ways to bring eco-friendly choices into their daily lives. That’s one reason we’ve partnered with Hunter Douglas for years. Not only do they curate beautiful window coverings, but they’re also committed to leading the way in sustainability. If you’re ready to explore sustainable window treatments, we’ve got plenty to share.
Responsible Production
Manufacturing can be tricky when it comes to sustainability. But Hunter Douglas has taken clear steps to make production more responsible. All of their window treatments are GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions. That means every product is tested to strict standards, helping keep your indoor air cleaner and your family safer.
Hunter Douglas also focuses on responsible forestry. The Parkland® Wood Blinds collection is a perfect example. They use wood harvested from well-managed forests. Plus, every purchase supports the Arbor Day Foundation, contributing to the ongoing preservation of trees and rainforests.
Utility Savings
Saving on monthly bills is always a plus. Sustainable window treatments can make a big difference in keeping your home comfortable and your utility costs lower. Many homeowners already know that energy-efficient coverings help regulate indoor temperatures. They keep things cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Some shades block sunlight, while others insulate, and the result is a more comfortable space with noticeable savings.
But the perks go beyond heating and cooling. Certain designs help you take advantage of natural light, allowing you to switch off lamps and enjoy the sunshine. Sheer shades filter the rays into a soft glow, while top-down shades allow just the right amount of daylight in without giving up privacy or comfort. You can enjoy extra brightness without extra costs.
Hunter Douglas also offers eco-friendly technology with their automated shades. Instead of tossing out disposable batteries, you can now use a rechargeable battery wand that works with both new and existing PowerView systems. There are even solar-powered options for an extra dose of sustainability. How cool is that?
Renewable & Recycled Materials
Responsible forestry is one part of the story, but not the whole picture. Did you know that Hunter Douglas also incorporates recycled materials into many of their products? As you start your journey on finding the best sustainable window treatments, you’ll see metal blinds made from recycled aluminum, roller shades with fabrics created from reclaimed ocean plastics, and even collections made with up to 50% recycled content.
Another highlight is Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are made with fast-growing natural fibers. Fortunately, these resources replenish quickly, and they can be harvested without leaving a lasting mark on the environment. It’s smart, sustainable design at its best.
