What’s new in Window Treatments? To help us appreciate their exciting new innovations and product enhancements, Hunter Douglas puts on their Premieres event each year for dealers around the country.
Hirshfield’s sent key window treatment personnel to this year’s regional get-together for special training classes along with an up-close look at the latest product updates, upgrades, and enhancements, including new fabrics, hardware, and operating systems. Here are some of our designers’ favorites:
Silhouette® Duolite Window Shadings
Cindy from Maple Grove and Becky from Design Resource singled out the Silhouette® Duolite. The all-in-one window shade/room-darkening roller shade looks like a Silhouette during the day, with a room-darkening shade for sleeping. The Silhouette® Duolite was actually named the 2015 Product of the Year by the Window Covering Manufacturing Association, but it was just released to showrooms for the Spring of 2016.
Alicia and Teri from Rochester noted that the Vertiglide has been updated so it can be operated by hand or power, a nice upgrade from the manual-only version in this video.

New Duette Honeycomb Fabrics
A number of our Hirshfield’s employees mentioned the new fabric choices for the Duette Honeycombs. The new fabrics will be released in July, 2016, giving you a wonderful excuse to stop by your nearest Hirshfield’s location in Minnesota,Wisconsin or North Dakota to check them out.
