What is Hunter Douglas Vertiglide™?
Do you have wide windows or sliding glass doors that are hard to fit with window treatments? Are you interested in a window treatment that can save you money on your energy bill and prevent air leaks—keeping your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter?
Today, we’re looking at Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades with Vertiglide™, an innovative system designed to expand the installation options for cellular shades.
Join our experts at SunGard Window Fashions as we look at this advanced system and all the benefits of Vertiglide™ for Illinois homeowners.
What is Hunter Douglas Vertiglide™?
Vertiglide™ is an operating system available on Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades. It is ideal for vertical, side-to-side installations such as over patio or sliding glass doors and across especially broad windows. Vertiglide™ shades have a manual operation with the optional upgrade to PowerView® Automation for motorized operation.
What are the Benefits of Vertiglide™?
- Enhanced Child Safety: A primary benefit of Hunter Douglas Vertiglide™ is that it is a cordless operating system for Duette® Cellular Shades. This means that there are no loose, hanging lines that might pose a hazard to young children or small pets in the home. Thus, a safer option for child-friendly households is a cord-free operating system like Vertiglide™ that eliminates the risk. The cord-free design also has a cleaner aesthetic minus the lines that often become discolored and entangled on traditional cellular shades.
- Manual and Motorized Operation:Multiple methods of operation featured on Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades with Vertiglide™ allow you to manually open or close the treatment, adjust it by hand, or control them with one of the many PowerView® control options like the Pebble® remote. This can be handy when coming in from outside and needing the treatment to open or when guests are visiting and they are unfamiliar with how to operate shades because there’s no wrong way to adjust a shade with Hunter Douglas Vertiglide™.
- Coordinated Style:Thanks to the innovative design from Hunter Douglas, Duette® Cellular Shades can fit on a number of window styles. They can be used on windows and doors throughout a home, including arches, angles, trapezoids, circles, ovals, bay and corner windows, skylights, cut-outs, sidelights, French doors, and sliding glass doors, to craft a customized and coordinated aesthetic.
- Elevated Energy Efficiency:Cellular shades are some of the most insulating window treatments on the market, which makes their installation for many homeowners extremely worthwhile, as experts estimate up to 30% of unwanted energy loss happens through windows. The distinctive cellular construction creates air pockets that help to insulate windows, a beneficial feature in Illinois year-round as it means you’re not losing your heating in the winter or your air conditioning in the summer. Using cellular shades to insulate more glass features in the home is a major benefit of Vertiglide™ as it helps homeowners cover more vulnerable space and thus save on energy consumption and heating/cooling bills.
