You may hear that other brands are "as good as" Hunter Douglas, or even the same thing, but it simply isn't true.  Here are some facts that show how Hunter Douglas EverWood Collection blinds are superior to other horizontal blinds

EverWood Materials designed to
meet stringent criteria.

  • Exclusively formulated for Hunter Douglas; not sold or available to any other manufacturer
  • PVC-free, food-grade and lab-grade polymers

  • Certified by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute for Indoor Air Quality

  • GREENGUARDSM certified for Children & Schools

  • Extruded and crafted with pride in North America; not mass produced imports

Designed to stay as vibrant as
the day the blinds are installed.

  • Formulated against yellowing
  • Slats resist fading and discoloration from the sun

  • Tested to 1,500 UV hours, exceeding the most stringent standards

Designed to maintain their shape
when exposed to sun.

  • Slats can easily heat up to well over 150°, even in air conditioning or if it’s cool outside

  • Slats are formulated and tested to withstand these extreme conditions

  • Withstand higher temperatures than
    other brands

Designed with exceptionally stable slats requiring fewer tapes for a cleaner view.

  • The widest tape spacing in the industry:
    EverWood® & EverWood X-tra: 18" maximum
    WoodMates®: 16" maximum

  • Other Brands Average: 9"-14"

  • EverWood blinds can be built up to 30" wide with only 2 ladders

  • On a 48" x 60" blind, EverWood products only require 3 ladders - other brands require up to 5

Designed to be the most realistic stain look available in alternative wood blinds.

  • Color and grain are custom-designed
    like works of art

  • Natural look, without repeating patterns

  • Unique finishing process covers entire slat,
    not just top and bottom

  • Color is rich and vivid, not dull

Guaranteed against fading, yellowing, warping
or bowing, or the blinds will be replaced.

  • Sell with confidence

  • No other manufacturer offers a guarantee
    this strong

  • We challenge you to check the fine print
