Exclusive Technology

Architella® Double-Cell Construction

Hunter Douglas Architella® is the most energy-efficient window treatment available. This exclusive Hunter Douglas technology features a cell within a cell—creating four fabric layers and three insulating air pockets for maximum thermal performance.

Ottawa's climate ranges from -30°C winters to +35°C summers. Windows are responsible for up to 25% of residential energy loss. Hunter Douglas Architella® cellular shades address this directly—creating a thermal barrier that keeps your home comfortable year-round while reducing heating and cooling costs.

Total Darkness

LightLock™ Total Room Darkening

Hunter Douglas LightLock™ is the industry's most complete room darkening system. While standard blackout shades block light through the fabric, light still sneaks around the edges. Hunter Douglas solved this with LightLock™—unique U-shaped side channels that overlap the front and back of the shade, absorbing or deflecting virtually all incoming light.
