The future is green, and we are here for it! Today’s homeowners aren’t just choosing style for their spaces. They’re seeking ways to live more intentionally, weaving eco-friendly decisions into everyday life. This is just one of the many reasons that we have partnered with Hunter Douglas over the years. Their window coverings deliver both quality and timeless style, all while staying ahead of the curve in sustainability. If you’ve been searching for sustainable window treatments, you’ve just found them.
Responsible Production
Sustainability can be tricky when it comes to manufacturing, and that holds true across many industries. However, Hunter Douglas has made big strides in creating products that are both beautiful and responsibly manufactured. All Hunter Douglas window treatments are GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions. This means every product goes through testing to ensure cleaner indoor air and fewer health risks for your family. That’s a win for homeowners and for builders aiming for green building certifications. The Parkland Wood Blinds collection is a great example because the wood is harvested from forests that are sustainably managed. Interestingly, with every purchase, a donation is made to the Arbor Day Foundation® in an effort to support the preservation of rainforests and trees.
Utility Savings
Saving money is always a welcome benefit. Sustainable window treatments aren’t just good for the planet. They can also help trim your utility bills. Energy-efficient shades keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, cutting back on the need for extra heating or cooling. Some styles block out harsh sunlight, while others insulate the space, so you can enjoy comfort and savings all year long.
On top of that, the right window coverings bring in natural light so you can use less artificial lighting! Consider sheer shades if you are interested in filtering sunlight into a soft glow, while top-down styles generously invite brightness without foregoing privacy or temperature control. These styles help your home stay well-lit, energy-smart, and cozy. The best thing is that no switch is required!
Motorized options make the eco-benefits even stronger. Hunter Douglas now offers rechargeable battery wands on all PowerView® automated shades. They help eliminate disposable batteries from landfills. Solar-powered shades are another innovative way to enjoy convenience and sustainability side by side.
Renewable & Recycled Materials
Hunter Douglas takes their commitment a step further, extending sustainability beyond responsible forestry. Recycled resources have become a star player, from roller shade fabrics made of reclaimed ocean plastics to aluminum blinds crafted with recycled metals. Some designs incorporate as much as 50% recycled materials.
The Provenance® Woven Wood Shades collection takes it a step further. They feature fast-growing natural fibers, including grasses, reeds and bamboo that regenerate quickly. Therefore, harvesting doesn’t deplete the environment.
