Going green for St. Patty's Day

In honor of St. Patrick's Day we are talking about "GREEN"...

For over 60 years, Hunter Douglas has been creating and offering natural and appealing ways to harness heat and light. In the winter, heat leaves through the window when you need it, yet becomes trapped inside in the summer when you don't. Heat loss and gain drive our energy usage up. It can be felt in our monthly utility bills and calculated in our collective carbon emissions.

Today, Hunter Douglas is committed to lowering our energy usage and implementing other changes that will ultimately reduce our carbon footprint by 20%. Our overriding goal, though, is to help our customers everywhere save energy the natural way by effectively channeling and exploiting the natural power of the sun.
That's Hunter Green. It reminds us of our unique roots, of who we are today and of where we need to go. And while there are many shades of green in today's world, there is only one Hunter Green.

More specifically, the Hunter Green initiative is a company-wide program designed to promote the superior energy-saving benefits of Hunter Douglas products, create corporate awareness and action around conserving energy across our organization, and support social programs that have a positive impact across the globe through our philanthropic efforts.

There is a great brochure that discusses better understanding putting energy efficient products in your home. Here is the link. http://www.hunterdouglas.com/pdf/GreenLight_PlanetHome.pdf

And here is a chart of our most energy efficient products. (Click to make bigger)

                      

And don't forget the great rebates going on now for the Energy Smart Style Savings event.

Here are some ideas of how to use yellow in your decor.  Yellow walls really make these black pleated shades from Hunter Douglas pop.   A very warm room with the yellow walls and the warm tones of the wood blinds  Yellow and Grey together is a very popular choice in home decor these days, and while I don't necessarily love yellow, I do love grey, and I really like the two together.

Comparison: Blinds vs. Shades

What is the difference between blinds and shades? You may be familiar with the terms blinds or shades but y ou may be wondering what the main differences are between each.  What are the pros and cons of each? Here are a few tips to help you narrow down the selection process... Basically, blinds are window coverings made up of individual slats. They can be completely raised for an unobstructed view or, when lowered, the slats can be rotated to let in more or less light. Shades, on the other hand, are made from single panels of fabric or woven wood rather than slats, so they can only be raised or lowered to achieve light control and privacy.  Blinds come in both horizontal and vertical slats or louvers and have the primary function of controlling the amount of light coming through. There are many types of shades with unique functional benefits from light diffusion to energy efficiency, along with a variety of design options and much more.  So What Do I Choose? Blinds?
