The Window Covering Manufacturers Association (WCMA) recently honored Hunter Douglas with several awards, including Product of the Year!

Window Covering Product of the Year

The 2014 Heritance® Hardwood Shutters Collection earned this year’s product of the year award. The collection was also named Best New Style Concept in the Shutters Category. These shutters re-energize the timeless beauty of hardwood in big ways. They now feature a refreshed color offering, as well as new and updated frames designed to complement popular window trim styling. The exclusive Handcrafted Series was developed to feature techniques found today in high-end wood floors, cabinetry and furniture by offering six custom techniques including: Glazed, Glazed & Burnished, Classic Distressed, Heirloom Distressed, Rustic and Textured.

Best New Shadings and Sheers Style Concept

In the Shadings and Sheers Category, Silhouette® window shadings, unrivalled in the industry for its beauty and performance, garnered two important awards, Best New Style Concept for New Fabrics for Alustra® Silhouette® and Silhouette® window shadings and Honorable Mention, Best New Technical Innovation for the UltraGlide® Click and Walk AwayTM operating system. The new fabrics include Alustra Myst with a soft metallic vane and a colored front sheer; Alustra French Linen, which offers a soft, subtle textured front sheer; MystereTM, featuring a rich, horizontal-textured vane coupled with colored sheers to intensify pattern at window; an MonacoTM, a casual, cross-textured vane with a colored front sheer. UltraGlide 2 Click and Walk AwayTM offers convenient retractable cord operation that will lower and open the shading with just one click. Raising the shading is easier than ever with a 50 percent reduction in pull force from the prior UltraGlide system.

Best Style Concept in the Specialty Applications Category

Silhouette® A DeuxTM shadings was named Best Style Concept in the Specialty Applications Category. Silhouette A Deux shadings combines an independently operating room-darkening roller shade with a translucent Silhouette shading in one headrail. This option will now allow any translucent fabric to be offered in room-darkening.

Honored for Child Safety in Window Coverings

Vignette® TraditionaM Modern Roman Shades with the LiteRise® cordless operating system was honored with Best Style Concept in the Green Products: Health and Environmental Safety Category. Providing enhanced child safety, this is a 100 percent cordless manual operating system on the line’s rolling shade option. Like all Vignette shades, the product also has no exposed rear cords for enhanced child safety.
