Ramon About
Us:
Until recently if you wanted a softer fabric look on your windows, you had to use a drapery or settle for a nonadjustable shade that was either up or down. Today, you have options, like the Hunter Douglas Silhouette. It is a cross between a drapery sheer and a blind. Silhouette features two soft sheer panels and a floating fabric vane inside that can filter light and the view or be rotated to a closed position for light control and privacy. Silhouettes can also be ordered with a battery operated remote control motorized option for hard to reach windows. Other fairly recent innovations include child safety-conscious cordless honeycomb shades, pleated shades, and mini blinds by Levolor and Hunter Douglas. (Cordless wood blinds are being tested.) A new generation of mini blinds and wood blinds are available without the holes in the middle of the slat that the strings run through. The newer versions close tighter and let in less light. They are referred to as de-light or hole-less. Vertical blinds have also been updated with the addition of embossed PVC fabrics that look like fabric but are really made of plastic. These clean easily with a little water or light cleaning liquid. New shutter innovations include PVC shutters that look like wood but are water resistant and easy to clean and maintain. Some are almost impossible to tell from real wood.
