Types of Durable Blinds for Your Busy Home

If you have pets, kids, or both, you know how important durability is for everything in your home, from furniture to window treatments. Fortunately, aesthetic appeal and robust design go hand in hand with many Hunter Douglas window coverings, including blinds.

At Design 5 Ltd., we have some durable blind options to enhance your Honolulu, HI, home.

1. Faux Wood Dog Proof Blinds

Dog owners know that even well-behaved four-legged family members can be excitable and curious. EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds are the perfect window treatment for homes with dogs and other pets.

Performance Plus™ Protection guarantees your blinds won’t fade, warp, or crack with moisture or UV exposure. Faux wood blinds offer the upscale look of hardwood but won’t become scratched when your pets jump up to look out the window or bump into them during their zoomies.

2. Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds

Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds are among the most durable blinds on the market. The lightweight aluminum slats resist dust, dents, and fingerprints, keeping them looking pristine with minimal effort. Choose from over 70 colors and finishes, from on-trend mattes to eye-catching metallics.

If your home has sidelights by the front door, Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds are an excellent choice. The ultra-slim ½” wide slats look fantastic on tall, narrow windows and can withstand being jostled around by kids and pets.

How to Maintain Durable Window Blinds

Maintaining your durable window blinds is simple. You can clean Hunter Douglas Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds and EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds with a dry or damp cloth. If your blinds have stubborn fingerprints or spots, a solution of soap and warm water makes them disappear.

Additionally, you can submerge aluminum and faux wood blinds in your bathtub for a deep cleaning.

Types of Control Options for Durable Window Blinds

Cordless window blinds are the safest option for your children and pets. Hunter Douglas has three cordless control systems to choose from:

  • PowerView® Automation: An award-winning, intuitive motorized system that puts control of your blinds in an app, a remote, or voice commands.
  • LiteRise®: This system uses a basic push-and-pull method to secure the rail in place wherever you release it.
  • SimpleLift™: Push the button on the contoured bottom rail of the SimpleLift™ system to adjust the position of your blinds and release it when they’re in your preferred position.
