We are excited to introduce Hunter Douglas Summerwind™ Polysatin Shutters as the newest addition to the Designer Blinds product line. These shutters are crafted from a superior vinyl compound called Polysatin. This durable, low maintenance, reliable and innovative product, joins with Heritance® Hardwood Shutters and NewStyle™ Hybrid Shutters, to complete the Hunter Douglas Shutter Collection with options for every customer. 

As with all of our shutters, Summerwind Shutters can be delivered in a much shorter time than the six to eight weeks that other shutters usually take. The Hunter Douglas Lifetime Limited Warranty covers every Summerwind Shutter, valid for as long as the original purchaser owns the shutter. 

New Options!
All of the options and specifications of vinyl shutters that we have previously carried are available in Summerwind.  In the Summerwind line we are pleased to introduce these new options: 

• NEW 4½" louver for a more open view. 

• NEW open-louver bypass track option 

• NEW cutout option for French doors (pictured at right)

Elegance Within Reach
Often thought of as a practical solution to complement wood shutters in high-moisture situations, Summerwind Shutters do that and much more. They put the classic look of interior shutters within reach for more consumers than ever before.  

Waterproof
Water can be a destructible force around bathrooms, kitchens and other high humidity areas. The wrong types of materials in these spaces may rust, crack, mildew and even warp. Fortunately, Summerwind Shutters resist all of these damaging effects - making them the perfect choice for water-prone environments. 

Fire Retardant
Polysatin has inherent flame-retardant qualities built right into the material. Without adding any coatings or coverings, Polysatin resists ignition and flame spread, burns at a higher temperature than many other materials, and commonly will not burn once the flame source is removed. These characteristics make Summerwind Shutters a safe option for both commercial and residential applications. 

Color Fast
Available in three high-demand colors, Summerwind Shutters will never fade or turn yellow due to ultra-violet light or exposure. The original color will survive the life of the shutter - guaranteed. 

Washable
Permanent marker is permanent on most surfaces, but not on Summerwind Shutters. Ink, crayon and other staining agents don't hold to the smooth surface. In most cases, soap and water is all it takes to remove unsightly blemishes - something wood and cloth just can't claim. And removing the shutters for cleaning is a breeze. From the simplicity of the two-part hinges, to its ultra-lightweight composition, this shutter system can be removed from the window by a single person within seconds - and reinstalled without needing a manual. 

Long Lasting
Summerwind Shutters are made using only pure materials. There are no recycled elements being mixed into the product. The result is that Summerwind shutters are the strongest and longest-lasting shutter you can buy —for any room or environment. The shutter system is guaranteed not to distort, crack, chip or fade. And it's backed up by Designer Blinds Limited Lifetime warranty. 

Virtually Indestructible
The Summerwind Shutter has a resilient composition. Its durable finish makes dents and scratches a rare possibility. And if the shutter does become scratched, simply buff it away using steel wool without leaving any unsightly marring. 

Energy Efficient 
Summerwind Shutters are designed with hollow Polysatin construction - pockets of air designed into the louver and frame parts. These air pockets keep the individual pieces of the shutter system from transferring energy as quickly as solid construction would do. 

R-Value = 3.40

U-Factor = 0.29

R-Value - The measure of a materials resistance to heat flow. The higher a materials R-Value, the greater the insulating properties. 
U-Factor - A measure of how well heat is transferred into or out of a building. U-Factor is the opposite of RValue. The lower the U-Factor,
 the more heat remains in a home on a cold day.  

ClearLight™ 
While some people still want the classic styling of the tilt-bar for opening and closing their shutters, others want an unobstructed view. For this, Summerwind Shutters offers the ClearLight™ option. A patented series of connectors moves the louvers with the lightest touch of the fingers. ClearLight™ offers a clean appearance when the shutters are closed, while also providing an undivided view of the outdoors when fully opened. Order ClearLight™ to achieve an even greater perspective!
