Wood Blinds Have Entered A New Generation

When a home needs window coverings, there are several choices obtainable. Finished or long curtains can be used, but they often become paler in the sunshine and can hold dust and cause sensitive to reactions. Sunglasses can be chosen, which be either opened or closed, but there is modest in between to control light levels. And then there are wood blinds, which are hard-wearing, easy to clean and can be adjusted to allow in any degree of light.

Blinds, such as the ones available in collections of Hunter Douglas wood blinds, come in a wide variety of colors and styles to fit any type of decor. Wood blinds also can be ordered with a high level of customization to allow more control over the level of privacy, light and the speed of closure. Depending on the needs of the user, there are many new designs that provide many more options than previous generations of wood blinds.
Hunter Douglas wood blinds stand out because of their TopShield finish which makes them five times more durable than the average standard wood blind finish, as well as resistant to scratches and common household cleaning solvents. This special finish provides a smooth and consistant gloss and color.
