Performance is a key aspect of all Hunter Douglas Architectural products whether it is managing the light and heat in a building, controlling the acoustics within a given space or creating the form and function of a buildings exterior envelope. We are committed to developing products and systems that are sustainable by design. Environmentally sound materials are key to sustainable buildings. Our strategy is to pick materials that have good environmental properties to start with. Many of our products are made of aluminum produced in our own smelters. We’ve optimized our processes to use up to 99% of recycled content to produce the right alloy for our products.
