What is the Vertiglideโข System?
The Vertiglideโข System is available on our Duetteยฎ and Applauseยฎ Honeycomb Shades. It is a child-safe, cordless operating system that allows you to open and shut your cellular shades from side-to-side. It is an ideal choice for sliding glass doors or can be used as a room divider.
The Vertiglideโข System is available with manual operation or with PowerView Automation. For your convenience, the Vertiglide system features Dual Operation which allows you to activate the shade with any PowerView control device such as the remote or app, or simply operate the shade manually by hand. This convenient feature is ideal for lost remotes, entering the home from outside and for guests without knowledge that the shade is motorized. Please note that PowerView Automation is not available with Applause Honeycomb Shades.
What is the Bypass Track system?
What is the Bifold Track system?
What is the Duoliteยฎ system?
The Duoliteยฎ system allows you to enjoy room-darkening and light-filtering capabilities with one treatment. It features two shades on a single rollerโa sheer or light-filtering front shade and an opaque or room-darkening back shade.
If you want complete control over your light and privacy, consider the Duoliteยฎ system. It is available on several of our vertical blind alternatives including our cellular shades, Roman shades, and roller shades.
Do you offer traditional vertical blinds?
We offer three Hunter Douglas vertical blind products:
Cadenceยฎ Vertical Blinds are elegantly styled vertical blinds that mimic plush drapery folds.
Somnerยฎ Vertical Blinds are available in vinyl, fabric, and aluminum styles in many colors and finishes.
Vertical Solutionsยฎ Vertical Blinds have a minimalist design, simplified textures, and a neutral color palette so art and furniture can take center stage in a room.
You can view each of these styles in our showroom.
