People here in New Jersey love the unique look that comes with specialty shaped windows, such as triangles, arches, angles, and half-moons. To maintain the beauty of these windows, some people like to keep them uncovered. However, there are many circumstances when a specialty shaped window needs some type of window treatment. At the very least, most of our clients with specialty shaped windows are looking for light control and energy efficiency when it comes to their specialty shaped window treatments. At Window Treats, we can help you with all your window treatment needs, including covering your specialty shaped windows. Here are some popular options. [Read more…]
Silhouette A Deux Shades is the Latest Innovation in Room-Darkening Shades
We can always depend on Hunter Douglas for the latest innovations in window coverings. With the Silhouette® A Deux Window Shadings system, you have a sheer Silhouette shading in front with a room darkening roller shade in the back on a single headrail. You get the best of both worlds – the beauty of a light-filtering fabric shade and the room-darkening capabilities of a roller shade. As a room-darkening shade system, these window coverings are perfect for your bedroom, media room, or anywhere where you want premium control over light. Stop by our showroom or schedule an in-home consultation throughout New Jersey, including the New Brunswick area, to check out these shades for yourself.
In the Front: Silhouette Shades
On the room-facing side of the A Deux system is the beautiful Silhouette shade. The vanes of Silhouette® window shades magically float between two sheers. Simply tilt the vanes to achieve your desired level of light and privacy. With no cords or tapes, the sheer facings allow you to view through the vanes to the outside, while maintaining a discreet level of privacy. The sheers soften sunlight to create warmth without too much brightness. Choose from 2” and 3” vane Silhouette fabrics, including Alustra products, to be paired with a room-darkening roller shade option. Silhouette shades are available in a wide variety of colors and fabrics.
In the Back: Roller Shades
With the A Deux system, a high quality Hunter Douglas roller shade shares a headrail cassette with a Silhouette shade. With the roller shade in the back, you can enjoy complete room darkening when you want it — perfect for media rooms and bedrooms. Roller shades also protect your furniture, flooring and artwork from fading with at least 75% protection from harmful UV rays.
Operating Systems for Your Window Shades
With the A Deux system, you have several options for operating your shades. Use the same operating system front and back, or mix and match with one operating system on the roller shade and one operating system on the Silhouette. Choose from:
- EasyRise: Pulling down on the front of our EasyRise™ continuous loop lowers your window fashion. Pulling on the rear of the loop raises it.
- LiteRise: Our LiteRise® cordless system lets you simply push up with your hand to raise and pull down to lower. Your blinds and shades stay right where you put them.
- PowerRise; Our PowerRise® motorized lifting system allows you to easily raise or lower individual window shades and shadings.

Wood Blinds or or Faux Wood Blinds?
Wood blinds complement the decor of any room and have always been a popular window covering. There are some draw-backs to real wood, though. Wood can warp in rooms with high moisture, and they’re not great for high-traffic areas. Considered an investment like a piece of fine furniture, wood blinds are at a higher end of the cost spectrum for window coverings. If you like the look of wood blinds, but want to mitigate some of the drawbacks, faux wood blinds are an excellent option. Window Treats, Inc., your Hunter Douglas Gallery dealer serving the Monmouth Beach area and customers throughout New Jersey and New York, can help you determine which blind — wood or faux — would work best in your home.
