Frequently Asked Questions

Hunter Douglas roller shades can fit windows with a minimum size of 12″ x 12″. The maximum width is 115″ and height of 120″.

For the Designer roller shades collection, there is a range of fabric opacities, from sheer fabric to blackout fabric. Within that range, you can also choose light-filtering, which is not quite as see-through. Room darkening keeps most of the light out of the room without being fully blackout. For serious blackout shades, you could also consider side channels for roller shades that close out the light gaps that can appear at the edges on a bright day.

There are a few operating systems available for Designer roller shades. They can be separated by manual and motorized.

Manual Control: Cordless shades are operated by the LiteRise system, which requires a gentle push or pull to adjust the roller shade. UltraGlide offers a cord-safe option, as a short, retractable cord rests at the top of the shade, just within reach. A beaded cord loop is another manual operating system that should be used only if the cord loop can be secured within the window frame for child safety.

Motorization: Motorized shades and blinds are a popular option for convenience and control. The SoftTouch system is for individual windows, controlled by a wand that rests alongside the window, adjusting with gentle motions up or down. The PowerView automation system allows you to control multiple shades, blinds, shutters and drapery with a remote, an app on your phone, or integrated with your smart home system. Set schedules, save favorite settings and activate shades in an instant.
