Window Blinds
Many homes in America rely on horizontal window blinds as their primary window treatment. They are versatile and very user-friendly. Blinds come in a vast array of options to fit any budget and any home decor style. Now’s the time to upgrade your horizontal blinds with the premium quality of Hunter Douglas window blinds. At Smart PNW, we’d love to help you put the finishing touch on your home’s windows.
Choosing a Material
Deciding on a material for your blinds doesn’t have to be stressful or tricky. Window blinds from Hunter Douglas are available in wood, faux wood, and aluminum to make a picture-perfect statement in your home. Parkland® Wood Blinds offer a rich warmth and unique character in any room. Crafted with responsibly harvested hardwood, Hunter Douglas makes a donation to the Arbor Day Foundation with every wood blind purchase. Make your wood blinds your own by choosing your perfect match from a wide variety of paint and stain finishes. Parkland® Wood Blinds receive advanced finishing technology, which helps them maintain their natural beauty over time. Care for your wood blinds by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying lemon or wood care oil as a conditioning agent.
Thinking faux wood blinds may be more your style? EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds have the look of natural wood and the resilience of manufactured material. Our patented TruGrain® finish offers the most realistic stain-like appearance in the industry, and your faux wood blinds will never warp, fade, crack, or yellow from sun exposure or humidity. If you’d like more light control, the de-Light™ feature eliminates cord holes to block up to 50% more natural light than standard blinds. Your blinds are easily maintained by wiping with a soft cloth and a mild detergent and warm water mixture for stubborn dirt or fingerprints.
Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds are ideal for all décor schemes but work especially well in modern or minimalist spaces where they can make a statement. The durability of aluminum blinds makes them excellent for busy households and high-traffic areas. Metal blinds are the most durable and these come available in many finishes, including mattes, metallics, and pearlescent paints. Take advantage of your stunning views with the MagnaView® feature, which offers twice the view-through of ordinary aluminum blinds.
Additional Options
Hunter Douglas blinds are available in several slat widths to accommodate any home design. Wider slats are fantastic for a more classic setting, while thinner slats are best suited to contemporary decor. You can also take your pick from several operating systems. SimpleLift™ and LiteRise® systems allow you to position your blinds with a button on the bottom rail or by gently pushing up or pulling down on the bottom rail. Cordless options are always the safest choice for homes with pets and children, but the Standard Cordlock option allows you to lock the cord in place and comes equipped with cord cleats for increased safety. For the ultimate convenience, consider PowerView® Automation. This motorized system works with a rechargeable battery system or can be hardwired into your home’s electrical grid. You can even integrate them into your home’s WiFi to afford you the ability to operate your blinds using your voice via smart home systems, a handheld remote, or through a mobile device. You can also set your location using the PowerView® App and have your blinds open and close with the sun’s rising and setting.
The Case for Custom
When you purchase custom Hunter Douglas blinds from Smart PNW, you are choosing premium quality materials and outstanding craftsmanship. While blinds from a big box store may leave you disappointed, custom-made blinds will always dazzle. The color, material, slat width, and operating system will always be precisely what you’re shopping for. You can also be ensured of a perfect for any size window being outfitted.
