Embrace Sunlight With Light-Filtering Window Treatments
Too-bright sunlight enters homes through windows, but instead of squinting and feeling frustrated, why not embrace it? Put those sunglasses away because Custom Wood Shutters & Blinds features Hunter Douglas light-filtering window treatments that soften light for radiant glows.

Your home will feel more comfortable, and you’ll stop struggling with excessive heat and glare indoors.
What Are Light-Filtering Window Treatments?
While room-darkening materials suit bedroom and media room window coverings, they aren’t optimal for kitchens, dining rooms, and bathrooms, as less natural light comes inside.
The weave, thickness, and composition of a window treatment's fabric determine how much sunlight passes through, creating different effects. Hunter Douglas manufactures coverings in varying opacity levels, from sheer to room-darkening. Adjustable light-filtering window treatments are perfect for common areas in homes. You can leave the shades down all day to manage brightness or raise them all the way.
Types of Hunter Douglas Light-Filtering Window Treatments
Hunter Douglas offers many custom light-filtering window treatments, including:
Pirouette® Sheer Shades
With Pirouette® Sheer Shades, you can filter up to 81% of UV rays with the vanes open and 99% with vanes closed. The horizontal, soft, adjustable front-facing fabric vanes attach to a sheer shade.
The vanes move in tandem, or you can raise the entire sheer shade into its headrail for open views. Additionally, the ClearView® sheers enhancement allows for a superior view-through.
Duette® Cellular Shades
Many homeowners love Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades because their honeycomb design provides exceptional insulation and sound absorption. You’ll also love the exquisite light that filters through for an inviting ambiance.
Our team can customize them in vertical or horizontal orientations in an impressive selection of fabrics, colors, opacities, and sizes.
Designer Banded Shades
Designer Banded Shades, which homeowners also know as zebra shades, have alternating bands of sheer and opaque fabrics that create a cool and practical effect. You can align this style of roller shades for light filtering benefits and adjust them for privacy.
Like other Hunter Douglas light-filtering window treatments, you can add ClearView® sheers.
Vignette® Roman Shades
Vignette® Roman Shades offer sheer and light-filtering opacities and elegant, low-maintenance fabrics. Choose from two designs, which are:
- Rolling style with a 4” full fold or 6” flat fold that rolls up into its headrail.
- 4” full-fold stacking style with a low-profile headrail for shallow mounting depths.
How Automated Blinds Manage Light and Privacy Control
Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation technology revolutionized how homeowners manage sunlight during the day, and it even works when they’re not home. This system uses Bluetooth technology to open, close, adjust, and program most Hunter Douglas window treatments.
Through an app or voice commands, you can control individual window treatments or coordinate all your automated blinds or shades.
