Hybrid Window Shades that Marry Style and Performance

A Hybrid is something formed by the combination of two or more different and distinct elements. When we look at hybrid window shades, that’s exactly what we’re talking about an exquisite mix of form and function, a combination of complementary designs to create one-of-a-kind treatments with a blended pool of features and attributes all crafted to a homeowner’s benefit.

When it comes to hybridization in the Hunter Douglas collection of window treatments, homeowners will find a varied interpretation of the hybrid concept with modern designs integrating different window treatment elements in new and innovative ways.

Cellular Shades + Roller Shades

This hybrid concept takes inspiration from the insulating design of cellular shades and the chic style and operation of roller shades. This mixture creates Sonnette® Roller Shades with the look of roller shades and the energy efficiency of cellular treatments. Homeowners in Washington can also select to mix in a third design element to this hybrid window shade, motorization with PowerView® Automation, to elevate performance and efficiency.

Vertical Blinds + Drapery

A new style of vertical treatment was created when the precision of vertical blinds was combined with the softer aesthetics of a fabric-based window treatment to fashion Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds. This visual stunner has all the drama and grace of full drapery but operates with the controlled precision of vertical blinds traversing side-to-side on a built-in track system. The track system can also transform these hybrid window shades into room dividers.

Light Filtering Shades + Room Darkening Shade

The Duolite® system is an innovative operating system that combines two treatments on a single unit, with both shades able to operate independently or in tandem. This creates a hybrid window fashion with an incredible range of light control, from soft filtration to blackout darkness. This hybrid operating system is available on:

Sheer Shades + Vertical Blinds

Luminette® Sheer Panels bring together the best of sheer shades (including their soft aesthetic and UV protection) and the numerous benefits of vertical blinds (such as their ability to control and manipulate natural sunlight) to create a vertical treatment that’s both functional and fashionable. These hybrid window shades are great for doors or extra-large windows.

Hardwood Shutters + Roman Shades

A striking reimagination of hardwood treatments that combines natural wood elements like that used in hardwood shutters with the fabric-based design of Roman shades. The heart of this hybrid window shade is the woven wood textiles that showcase one of our favorite natural materials, wood, in a stylish and modern way. Provenance® Woven Wood Shades can be fabricated in three different Roman shades (classic Roman, Waterfall Roman, and Recessed Roman) to suit personal tastes.
