Roller or Roman Woven Shades: Which is Best?
To some, a woven shade is a woven shade - if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all! We understand if this is your first gut reaction. After all, how different can a woven roller shade be from a woven Roman shade? We are glad you asked. When it comes to Hunter Douglas® window treatments, each product is created to fulfill a specific goal.
This can be light control, room-darkening capabilities, improved acoustics, or energy efficiency. Though shades look and sound alike at times, they are as unique as the people that buy them. When you start looking at the nuances of window treatments, you begin to understand which ones are best for your home. For example, when it comes to deciding between roller or Roman woven shades, small details can make a big difference.
Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades
When it comes to roller or Roman woven shades, you must look at style and function to determine which is best for you. If you want an understated yet sophisticated window treatment that acts as an alternative to the traditional roller and solar shades, then you will love our Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades. With exclusive fabrics that are globally sourced, these gorgeous woven roller shades add a pop of personality to each window.
Additionally, these shades offer light control and privacy in one with the innovative Duolite® system or the Dual Roller design. If achieving privacy and light control at the same time, enjoying gorgeous fabrics from renowned designers, and having a subtle, gorgeous window treatment are priorities to you, then we cannot recommend our Hunter Douglas Alustra® Woven Textures® Roller Shades enough.
Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades
On the other hand, if you desire a transitional style that brings organic luxury to your home, then you will love our Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades when it comes to choosing between roller or Roman woven shades. Offering globally sourced fabrics that can pair with a variety of top and bottom treatments, these Roman shades are crisp, coordinated, and completely customizable.
You can also opt to get these shades in various opacities, including sheer, semi-sheer, and semi-opaque. You can also enjoy flexible light control with the independent liner and enjoy the Top-Down/Bottom-Up design that eliminates the need for cords. If you desire an organic, crisp window treatment that offers light control and zero cords, then our Hunter Douglas Alustra® Woven Textures® Roman Shades are for you.
