UV stands for ultraviolet. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can be very damaging. It’s important that our products block the sun’s UV rays to protect flooring and furnishings from fading and other types of damage.
UV protection is the measure of the amount of potentially damaging ultraviolet radiation that is blocked by our products. Typically for non-sheer products this is 98% to 99% blockage. Even our sheer products, like Silhouette® window shadings, block up to 88% of UV rays with the vanes open.

Of course! We provide check mesure, no obligation shop at home where we professionally measure your windows, show you samples and fabrics, and then provide you with a quote.
There are two types of measurements, INSIDE MOUNT and OUTSIDE MOUNT. Inside mount is when there is enough space to put the blind directly inside the frame of the window. Measure from frame to frame in inches, and from top to bottom in inches. Hunter Douglas will make their appropriate deductions so that the blind perfectly fits in your frame.
Outside mount is when there isn’t enough space to put the blind directly inside the frame of the window. Measure from the point the brackets will be installed from left to right, and once again from top to bottom where the blind will hang. Hunter Douglas will not take any deductions, and this will be an exact measurement.
We prefer to take responsibility of the measurements of all the blinds that we sell. Although we are meticulous in the measuring of all windows, any slight error will be our responsibility to remake. Each different product that Hunter Douglas carries has its own specifications and let us professionally and promptly measure your windows according to the product you’ve selected.
We are pleased to provide evening appointments during the week and some Saturday appointments as well. We will happily keep our store open to show you the many blinds we have on display . Contact us today to see our availability.
