Designer Screen Shades



For the beautiful light-filled spaces in your home, White House Designs for Life recommends Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades. Like designer roller shades and roller blinds, solar shades are a great minimalistic window treatment. They are particularly perfect for sunrooms as they maintain your outdoor views while still providing protection. There are many reasons to choose a Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shade for the windows in your home.

UV Protection

We recommend solar shades for your sunroom because they provide superior UV protection. Designer Screen Shade fabrics block between 86% and 99% of the sun’s damaging rays. This protects your home and the items inside of it, from fading, discoloring, and warping in the sun. With a solar screen in place, you can enjoy the light from morning through the evening without worrying about your furniture, walls, appliances, or decor.

Fabric Selection

Our entire Hunter Douglas window treatment collection is available in a vast array of fabrics, and Designer Screen Shades are no different. There are over 150 different fabrics to choose from, each with a different color, texture, and weave openness. The openness of the weave indicates how much light can get through and how much you can see out. There are five levels of opacity to choose from. We also offer specialty fabrics like the Flux line, which allows excellent visibility while eliminating glare and is a top choice for office buildings. Hunter Douglas also has the exclusive Greenscreen Sea-Tex™ fabrics, which are woven from yarn that is made from reclaimed, washed-ashore plastics.

Windows Small & Large

Solar shades are designed for rooms with lots of windows, and that is why we offer them in a wide range of sizes. You can get a designer screen shade as small as 12 inches by 12 inches and as larger as 192 inches by 144 inches. The larger size options make solar roller shades an excellent choice for office buildings with expansive windows. On the other hand, the smaller size options mean you can add some privacy to a bathroom window or a sitting room with ease.

Customization

In addition to choosing the fabric for your designer screen shade, you can also add custom top and bottom treatments. Roller shades vanish completely into a roll when open, and we offer a selection of top treatments that conceal that roll. A top treatment gives your window a nice clean look, and our fabric selection allows us to match the top treatment to accent pillows, curtains, or other fabric accents in your home. We also offer bottom treatments, including fabric-wrapped options.

Operation

There are several different options for designer screen shade operation, including corded, cordless, and automated.

  • Continuous Cord Loop: This clutch-operated system uses a single loop of cord, a pulley, and a rotating couch to raise or lower the shade. This precision lift technology delivers smooth operation on even the largest shades.
  • Cordless: This traditional spring-assisted system lets you pull down on the shade to close and give a sharp tug and roll up to open.
  • LiteRise®: This system is designed to let you pull down or push up the shade with your hand. It doesn’t involve springs or cords of any kind.
  • UltraGlide®: A retractable wand or cord operates this system. You simply pull on the wand to raise or lower the roller shades. The lack of long cords and ease of operation make this a great child-friendly and pet-friendly option.
  • SoftTouch®: This system is battery-powered and features touch-and-go functionality. To raise your solar shades, you push up on the wand, and to lower them, you gently pull down. 
  • PowerView® Automation: With this fully motorized system, you can operate your shades with the touch of a button. PowerView® has a companion smartphone app, or you can opt for a wall-mounted interface or portable remote. In addition to easy operation, PowerView® allows you to create scenes and schedule your shades to open and close at specific times of the day.
