About Hunter douglas

INNOVATION IS OUR HERITAGE

For over 70 years, Hunter Douglas has been the world’s leading manufacturer of window coverings and architectural window products. We create innovative, high quality products which can be found in millions of homes and high-profile commercial building projects across the globe. We operate in 100 countries and employ over 20,000 employees worldwide.

And working side-by-side with the design and architectural community, we collaborate to develop exciting new solutions which manage light, heat and acoustics – using the latest sustainable and responsible production techniques to deliver outstanding performance and exceptional durability.

GREAT PRODUCTS START WITH GREAT DESIGN

Innovation is in our DNA. Ever since we created the first aluminium blind in 1946, we’ve kept pushing the idea of what our products can bring to the home or commercial building. To us, form and function are inseparable. That’s why we continuously invest in research and development – applying meticulous attention to detail at every stage of the process – and creating solutions which offer excellence in aesthetics, energy efficiency, safety and smart technology with our signature ‘Beautiful Light Control’.

AT THE FOREFRONT OF NEW 21ST CENTURY THINKING

We manage light, heat and energy in innovative, exciting ways; reducing the need for artificial lighting, cooling and heating. Our world-class engineering facilities produce window coverings which set new standards in versatility, durability and style – and we are also setting the pace in advanced Motorisation Technology.

RIGOROUS TESTING METHODS

We use proprietary manufacturing processes and rigorous testing methods to ensure our products meet the strictest controls and international standards for performance. It’s why our window treatments deliver unrivalled beauty, performance and long-term reliability.

We test all our products performance for:

  • Glare control
  • View-through and privacy
  • Heat gain control
    Reaction to fire
  • Sound absorption
  • Breaking strength, elongation and tear resistance
  • Colour fastness and UV-resistance.


We also perform assembly tests to make sure our fabrics combine perfectly with our hardware systems, so:

  • Fabrics don’t show irregularities like spots or holes
  • Fabrics don’t fray or cup
  • Fabrics don’t scratch
  • Fabrics don’t show waving, V-shapes or wavy edges
  • Fabrics roll up straight

DESIGNED WITH SAFETY IN MIND

We’re proud to have developed the widest array of patented and award-winning cordless and motorised operating systems – including retractable cords, cord tensioners and wand controls – which were created specifically to offer improved child safety.
