The finely-crafted appearance of these woven wood shades, made with all-natural materials which include bamboo, reeds and grasses, is one to be admired: art-lovers will most surely fall for these blinds, as well as all those  lovers and protectors of the environment.

Hunter Douglas have provided us with a wholly environmentally friendly product: These  Woven Wooden Shades  are made from totally renewable resources. No beautiful forest tree has had to be cut down just so that we can enjoy the luxury of  Hunter Douglas Provenance Woven Wooden Shades. They have the GREENGUARD certification in America, for their contribution towards keeping our planet green.

The combination of woven wood and fabric gives a very durable texture which is, unlike pure bamboo blinds, resistant to bowing. Bowing, which happens because of exposure to the sun over a period of time, spoils the sleek look of a blind by making the horizontal layering of the bamboo uneven. This problem is less likely to occur with the Hunter Douglas Provenance Woven Wood Shades, as the fabric of the blind is strengthened enormously by the woven quality which serves to hold all elements together.

You can customize your own blind design to order by choosing from the many fabrics, colors and textures available from the Hunter Douglas range of options. These include light, airy looking blinds which have a semi-translucent quality, and the more dense, darker style you might require for keeping the light out.

You can choose a design whose semi-translucent effect will enhance window and door spaces where there is an attractive view beyond, such as a swimming pool, or a cluster of trees, or an outdoor patio alive with richly colored exotic plants.

Hunter Douglas can make your blinds in anything from 18″ to 144″ in height, and from 20″ to 108″ in width. That means  they will fit most sliding glass doors, french doors and corner windows.

Hunter Douglas Provenance Woven Wooden Shades come with the standard cord lock;  the standard clutch is another  practical feature of the Hunter Douglas product.

Talk with the Hunter Douglas consultants about your requirements to ensure that you get the best arrangement most suited to your needs, with the additional personal effect of choosing your own preferred combination of textures and colors.

As the name suggests, these shades are made of  a  honeycombed material which Hunter Douglas have designed, again, typically incorporating practical function with pleasing aesthetics. This honeycombed structure is extremely effective in reducing energy costs, as, although it is comparatively light, the padding of delicate honeycomb within the material serves to keep the heat in at night time, or to protect you from the heat of the sun by day.

Alustra Duette honeycomb shades are also ideal for shading large expanses of glass, such as glass sliding doors or french doors which lead onto a patio area, or big “picture” or “panoramic” windows which feature large views.  Hunter Douglas honeycomb blinds are suitable for these types of windows because their horizontal arrangement and  light weight make them easy to move upward without effort over large areas such as these, leaving the view open and uncluttered. My sister has chosen the EASIGLIDE arrangement for lifting the blinds on the french door which leads out onto her swimming pool. This system means that the blinds remain flat and unruffled against the glass surface which they screen: even as they are drawn upwards, they remain neatly slotted into the gliding grooves at either side of the window space.

If you wish to keep the sun out of these big “picture” windows in order to get some work done, then you can lower the lovely semi-translucent Alustra Duette honeycomb shades, and the beauty of the view, and the sun’s rays will not quite have escaped you. In my sister’s day room, the view of the pool through the lowered Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades looks very tempting: I am very much looking forward to summer time, when I expect I shall be visiting my dear sister quite a lot.

There are 36 different color combinations to choose from.
