Say Hello to Hybrid Shades near Stoneham, MA
Sometimes if one is good, then two is better. This can apply to a lot of different things, but especially window treatment functionality. At Curtain Time, we provide our customers with blinds, shutters, drapes, and shades from Hunter Douglas, one of the industry’s most trusted innovators in window treatment design. It’s true that Hunter Douglas offers window coverings that provide an entirely new range of benefits for homeowners. These different styles of hybrid shades in their collection include treatments with heightened energy efficiency and designs that elevate style.
Hybrid Cellular Shades with Elevated Efficiency
The first category of hybrid shades is based off their energy efficient design.
Cellular shades are top of the line when it comes to insulation because they have discreet pockets sewn into their design in an underlying honeycomb-shaped pattern. These fabric pockets trap air at the windows, blocking the transfer of energy from the indoors to the outdoors, and thus insulation is provided, helping to keep interiors at comfortable and consistent temperatures.
Better insulation at the window helps improve the overall energy efficiency of the home, as windows can account for up to 30% of unwanted energy transfer. Less energy loss going out means homeowners do not lose the heat or AC they paid for - and less unwanted energy coming in means fewer drafts in the winter and less overheating in the summer. Overall, this helps to keep homes feeling more comfortable year-round while lowering that one’s carbon footprint and with it, any associated energy costs.
The engineers at Hunter Douglas took the energy efficient design of cellular shades and infused it into other styles of window treatments, making cellular hybrid cellular shades with both Roman and modern roller shade options:
- Sonnette® Roller Shades: Modern roller shades strengthened with cellular shade structure for a window treatment that’s chic, sleek, and energy efficient - with the minimalism and ease-of-use of a roller shade.
- Solera® Roman Shades: Combine the structured grace of Roman shades and the insulating design of honeycomb shades to result in a classic look of cascading or folding fabric with the latest in energy efficient design.
Hybrid Shades with High-End Style
Hybrid shades not only afford homeowners with the additional features and amenities that come with having two shades in one, but they also add unique elements to one-of-a-kind shades with a unique combination of features.
Homeowners no longer have to choose between style and function. Instead they get the best of both worlds. In the Hunter Douglas collection of window treatments, there are styles of hybrid shades that pull from sheer shades, Roman shades, drapery, vertical blinds, and modern roller shades.
- Alustra® Architectural Roller Shades: Combine Roman shades and modern roller shades for a high-end look with the ability to control light, provide privacy, and elevate design.
- Luminette® Sheer Panels: Sheer shades meet vertical blinds for window fashions designed for use over doors or wide windows with the ethereal feel of sheers, the light control precision of vertical blinds, and the overall flowing aesthetic of drapery.
