Think beautiful stone for walls, floors, fireplaces in Your Home!


Long-lasting stone adds a sense of nature and permanence.  Stone can become the dramatic focal point of a room, especially when used as an exposed wall or fireplace surround. Most types of stone can be finished to be smooth and polished, rough and unpolished, or even fire-finished for a rustic look. Stone choices are almost unlimited, and each comes in oh-so-many colors and naturally-occurring patterns:

- Slate
- Limestone
- Soapstone
- Granite
- Onyx
- Sandstone
- Brick
- Marble
- Travertine

An expert can help you select not just the stone that will look best in your house, but also the type of stone that will work best for how you're going to use it. Some types of stone are more durable than others or can be treated for heavy use more successfully than others. Depending where you live, you may even be able to go to a stone yard to select the pieces of stone that will be used in your home. It’s an experience not to be missed!   
Explore the world of stone to add a new dimension to your home.

Do Hunter Douglas Roman Shades Protect Against Heat Loss in Winter and Heat Gain in Summer?




         

It’s a scientific fact that heat is attracted to cold.  In winter months, indoor heating moves toward and escapes through windows to the outdoors.  Without energy-efficient window coverings, as much as 50 percent of the home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost.  Vignette Tiered and Vignette Tiered Architella shades provide your home with increased protection against heat loss during the winter, as well as minimizing the sun’s heat or “solar heat” during the summer.  Todd Zimmerman says, “An extra layer of fabric on the back of the Tiered Architella shade forms air pockets that trap air, creating added insulation against outside temperature and noise.”

Do Hunter Douglas Silhouette Window Shadings Protect Room Interiors?


     
   

Ultraviolet (UV) light is an invisible part of sunlight.  Because UV light damages furnishings, it is sometimes called the “invisible enemy.”  Just as sunscreen protects skin from the sun’s damaging ultralight rays.  Silhouette window shadings protect room interiors to increase the lifespan of valuable possessions. 

Provide Ultralight Protection

Silhouette sheers and vanes combine to provide up to 88 percent ultraviolet protection with the shading down and the vanes open; and 99 percent with the vanes closed.

Enhanced Natural Daylighting

Sheers disperse sunlight deep into the room, reducing the need for electric lights to brighten rooms in winter, spring, summer and fall.
