FAQ of Window Blinds
Window blinds are well-known in the tradition of window coverings, but you might find that you still have questions. Our window covering designers are happy to answer your questions! Before you take time to jot questions down, take a look at some of the most frequently asked questions we receive about these classic window coverings…
Are window blinds capable of room darkening?
Most blinds can be considered room darkening, in that they stop much of the light from entering the room. With hard treatments, such as wood, composite and metal, you may still have slivers of light that enter–especially on very bright days or with direct sunlight windows. One of our collections, Aria fabric blinds, is designated as room darkening because of its ability to close out the light tighter than the other blind collections. Fabric blinds are also available with a specialized room darkening feature that is accessed by changing the position of the fabric slats.
Will white blinds yellow and warp as time goes by?
Light colored blinds can be susceptible to warping and discoloration if the blinds are not properly manufactured. It’s important to know the brand you are buying and what products are being used in the finishes. Hunter Douglas blinds are crafted with finishes that prevent the breakdown of the paints and stains.

You want to be able to maintain a put-together look with window blinds that properly (and easily) work for years to come. Hunter Douglas works hard to maintain gorgeous style options in wood, composite, metals and fabrics that will highlight and coordinate with your home’s unique finishes.
