Speaking of restaurants, our commercial shades menu is exquisite. But first, we’ll share tips for choosing these custom window coverings.

Keep the Following in Mind with Commercial Window Treatments

We enjoy sharing window treatment tips with our commercial clients. First, consider the purpose of the space. Are you aiming for privacy, light control, energy efficiency, or enhancing the ambiance? Identifying your priorities will guide the decision-making process and make it easy for our family-owned and operated business to help you make the best decision.

Commercial spaces experience more wear and tear than residential spaces. Look for commercial window treatments made from durable materials like aluminum, PVC, or commercial-grade fabrics that can withstand frequent use and cleaning. Business owners also prefer window treatments that are easy to clean and maintain. Blinds with smooth surfaces, faux wood blinds, or vinyl roller shades are good options that easily wipe down and resist dust accumulation.

Consider cordless or motorized options for spaces frequented by children to eliminate potential hazards associated with cords. Aesthetics will always be a factor, though, so select window treatments that complement your commercial space's design scheme and branding. While window treatments are an investment, they can make a big impact on your space in the eyes of your customers.

Can You Get Commercial Window Treatments for a Corner Window?

Corner window treatments pose challenges because of their unique structure, often featuring two close windows with different sizes and angles. The goal is to achieve balance, functionality, and appealing results because we want you and your customers to have peace and comfort in while in your space. Typical curtains might bunch up or obstruct views, but we can customize these options for standard commercial windows and corner window treatments:

  • Duette® Cellular Shades are available in countless styles and color and fabric combinations, are energy efficient, and will keep your business cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
  • Pirouette® Sheer Shades feature soft, horizontal fabric vanes integrated into a sheer, light-diffusing panel.
  • Silhouette® Sheer Shades have sheer front and back panels with S-shaped, adjustable fabric vanes tucked inside.
  • Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are a stunning choice for business owners looking for commercial window treatments crafted from organic woods, grasses, and bamboo.

What are Some Popular Commercial Window Treatments?

Many of our commercial clients choose Roman shades, which have a single sheet of fabric that blocks out the light when drawn down. These window coverings make elegant design statements, and Hunter Douglas offers them in four styles so you can easily get the look you need for your commercial space.

Dual roller shades are another excellent choice for commercial window treatments near Portland, OR. Pick two of our Hunter Douglas Designer Roller or Designer Screen fabrics in different opacities, one each for the front and back. Once installed, you’ll have maximum light control and privacy.
