Estimates suggest that 9 million tons of plastic waste dumps into the world’s oceans every year. The ocean currents, wind and waves form giant collections of this plastic which, in turn, become floating hazards and kill our sea animals.
Hunter Douglas is part of a program that has already reclaimed over 30 tons of plastic waste washed ashore. What’s more, they have put it to good use
Introducing GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ Fabrics
Hunter Douglas has partnered with Bionic®, a mission driven material engineering company that has established coastal recycling infrastructure in developing nations that delivers fully traceable textiles from marine and coastal plastic. Hunter Douglas engaged with Bionic to fabricate a yarn, engineered from recovered coastal and marine plastic, to be used as the key ingredient for our new GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ screen shade fabric.
The new Sea-Tex fabrics are exclusive to our Designer Screen Shades product line and are available in five neutral tones each with a 3% openness. They are expertly crafted to provide privacy, UV protection, glare control and view-through, all while filtering sunlight.
The Science Behind the Shade
Particularly perfect for patios and sunrooms—but compatible with all light-filled spaces—our Designer Screen Shades maintain your outdoor views while providing UV protection and curbing harsh rays to protect your works of art or fade-prone furniture.
Protect your furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading by blocking between 86% and 99% of the sun’s damaging rays. The Custom Clutch delivers smooth operation, ease of lifting and the smallest light gap in the industry.
Pirouette® Window Shadings are soft horizontal fabric vanes that float on a sheer backing to achieve infinite combinations of light control, privacy and view-through. Maximize those views with Pirouette® ClearView® Shadings. A specialized sheer offers a clear view to the outside while transforming the light inside into a comforting glow.
Our Invisi-Lift™ system gives the impression that your shadings are floating gracefully, without obvious cords or controls.
PowerView® Automation lets you schedule your Pirouette Window Shadings to open and close on their own—at any time of the day—with the touch of a button, a tap on a mobile device or the sound of your voice. So, forgo the alarm clock, and use light as a wake-up call instead.
If you crave clean lines and straightforward design, consider Pirouette® Window Shadings—a modern alternative to traditional fabric shades. Pirouette shadings can also be raised completely into the headrail for a totally unobstructed view.
Energy Efficiency
Keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. As the innovator of the first cellular shade, Hunter Douglas is committed to making the most energy-efficient window treatments to save energy and keep your home comfortable. Without energy-efficient window coverings, up to 30% of a home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost through its windows.
We value our relationship with Hunter Douglas and work seamlessly with them to provide you with outstanding customer service and an enjoyable experience from the project start to the end!
