Can Hunter Douglas Products be Economical?

Custom window treatments may be an initial investment for homeowners looking to cover their windows in style. In fact, many assume that home decor should come at a luxury expense and ignore that it is a practical investment.

In the long run, custom shading styles can be economical. Window treatments manufactured by quality brands like Hunter Douglas work harder, last longer, and feature better materials and craftsmanship than what you find from mass retailers.

The misconception that Hunter Douglas products carry prohibitive costs overlooks their exceptional value. At Alexander Blank Fabrics & Design, we offer highly customizable window treatments for different needs and price points. You don’t have to choose a design with all the features; we back every style with quality construction and materials that stand the test of time.

Hunter Douglas Products Are Worth the Investment

Custom window treatments are more durable, longer-lasting, and built with benefits that include energy efficiency, light control, and privacy. Our Alexander Blank Fabrics & Design installation team measures and installs these coverings flawlessly, with perfect fits without gaps that would often come with box store shade solutions. This custom sizing eliminates common problems associated with standard sizes: light leakage, uneven coverage, and poor insulation performance. That matters for homeowners who demand maximum return on their window treatment investments.

The right shade can insulate your interior space, creating barriers against heat transfer in the summer and warm air loss during winter. According to industry studies, this thermal protection can reduce HVAC energy consumption by up to 25%; the initial investment pays dividends through lower monthly utility bills, making these products cost-effective.

Our Top Three Economical Window Treatments

Your initial investment might be less than you think, especially when you consider these Hunter Douglas styles:

Vertical Solutions® Vertical Blinds

Vertical blinds provide excellent light control and maintain privacy throughout the day. They’re also low-maintenance; quick dustings and occasional wipe-downs keep them looking fresh. The patented headrail ensures smooth operation.

Can vertical blinds look elegant and still be economical? When you customize Hunter Douglas Vertical Solutions® vertical blinds, sophisticated style is available at affordable prices. Choosde from 3 ½" fabric-covered or vinyl louvers and stack from left, right, split, or center.

We recommend Vertical Solutions® vertical blinds for taller windows and glass doors in these size ranges:

• Width: 9 in. - 191 in.
• Height: 12 in. - 192 in.
  

EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds

This economical window treatment is a fine alternative to genuine hardwood; EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds look like the real thing but at a lower price point. They perform beautifully in hot, humid, and bright spaces like kitchens and bathrooms, with superior durability and moisture resistance. The quality faux wood maintains its appearance and functionality, regardless of environmental challenges.

The blinds’ color consistency remains stable throughout their lifespan, and the lightweight design reduces stress on window frames.

TLC for Hunter Douglas Products

Treating these economical window coverings with TLC keeps them looking their best and encourages longer life spans. As a guideline, avoid:

• Leaving stains sit for too long; spot-clean them immediately with a duster or lightly dampened cloth.
• Avoid rubbing water or cleaning products into the fabrics or materials.
• Avoid spraying cleaners or water directly onto the fabrics; spray onto a sponge or soft cloth instead.
• Avoid chemical solvents or scrubbing cleansers. For a deeper clean, try ultrasonic cleaning methods.

Follow the specific cleaning instructions for each product, ask our team or find it on Hunter Douglas websites.
