Plus, dependable operating systems and innovative design options give you the ability to select the window covering that fits your needs perfectly For showing your style, we offer Hunter Douglas Applause® Honeycomb Shades In the world of interior design, "formal" has proven to be a beautiful and enduring aesthetic. Yet for many of us, our vision of home is a bit more down-to-earth. It's where we can kick off our shoes and invite close friends over to share a pizza and watch a movie. It's where, in every room, life happens. Children play and nap. Friends gather to keep us company while we cook. Family members join us around the table for meals that are un-rushed and full of warmth. Home, in other words, is alternately a haven and a hive of activity. And it's imprinted with your own personal style - comfortable, inviting, and informal. It's expressed in everything throughout your home. The furniture. The fabrics. The artwork. And, in particular, in the window fashions you've selected. Applause® honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas are the perfect match for your casual style. They're available in a number of fabrics, several of which are new, and designed to complement any room. They're also available in a choice of opacities, including a blackout fabric - ideal for napping children. And speaking of children, Hunter Douglas Applause honeycomb shades are now available with LiteRise®, our cordless operating system that enhances home safety and gives your custom window fashions a clean, streamlined appearance. By helping you create rooms that are informal but still beautiful, Applause shades live up to their name. Hunter Douglas Applause® honeycomb shades come in two opacity options and colors ranging from subtle earth hues to dramatic jewel tones. Constructed from our patented energy efficient honeycomb design, which traps air to insulate your interior from the heat and cold, these shades are available in single or double honeycomb designs. Lots of light, not so much, just a glimpse, or none at all. These light control variations are easy to achieve with Hunter Douglas Applause® honeycomb shades. The translucent nature of Affinity® and Legends gives you the light you want with the privacy you need. The Applause blackout fabric blocks 99% of all exterior light for maximum privacy. The beauty of Hunter Douglas Applause® honeycomb shades goes beyond what meets the eye. Because of the patented honeycomb design, each shade acts as an insulator, keeping out the cold in winter and heat in summer. Hunter Douglas Applause EasyRise provides a continuous cord loop system to make raising and lowering shades as easy as possible. And the top-down/bottom-up option allows shades to both lower from the top and raise from the bottom. Hunter Douglas Applause Vertiglide is the perfect application for covering large expanses of windows like sliders. No cords, chains, or wands to get in the way of children, making Vertiglide the perfect choice for enhanced safety at the window. Hunter Douglas Applause® honeycomb shades cover skylights, sliding glass doors and unusual window shapes like angles, arches and circles in style. And two choices for privacy and light control are available: translucent fabrics that soften and filter the light, and a blackout fabric that blocks 99% of the suns rays for complete privacy. Hunter Douglas Applause® honeycomb shades hold their shape beautifully. The unique honeycomb design ensures the pleats will always remain full, crisp and perfectly even. The seamless, softly textured fabric has no visible cords or unsightly cord holes. Lasting Pleats Year after year, even in the softest fabric, Applause honeycomb shades provide crisp, uniform pleats. The patented honeycomb design, exclusive to Hunter Douglas, ensures beautifully crisp, long-lasting pleats in every Applause shade. Without the benefit of this proprietary feature, other cellular shades can stretch and sag over time.

Breezy Cleaning Care and Cleaning: Durability is a hallmark of Hunter Douglas Applause honeycomb shades. The strong, anti-static fabrics repel dust and dirt. Consequently, they require little cleaning and maintenance. Regular dusting with a feather duster is all that's necessary in most circumstances. For a more thorough cleaning, the fabric can be lightly vacuumed with a brush attachment. Sponge or Spot Cleaning: When needed, all Applause fabrics can be cleaned by gently blotting with a soft, damp cloth or sponge, using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to the fabric. Take special care when cleaning blackout fabrics to avoid creasing. Basin or Bathtub Cleaning: For Applause Standard or EasyRise headrails only. Do not immerse any other headrails. To clean the entire shade, immerse the assembly in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and move it around lightly with your fingers. Wash for about five minutes, then rinse with clean water. Close the shade before removing it from the rinse water. Holding the rails, tilt the shade to allow excess water to escape. Re-install the damp shade back into the window opening and lower the shade all the way to allow it to dry completely. Important Cautions: Do not immerse Applause blackout fabrics. Do not immerse Applause Skyrise shades. Ultrasonic Cleaning: Professional ultrasonic cleaning is generally a very safe and effective method for comprehensively cleaning a Hunter Douglas Applause honeycomb shade. However, the shade should be handled carefully and only mild cleansing solutions should be used. In addition, the fabric should be in a stacked or closed position when being removed from the tank so that water cannot become trapped in the honeycombs. Important Cautions: Do not ultrasonically clean Hunter Douglas Applause blackout fabrics. Do not ultrasonically clean Applause EasyRise or Skyrise shades. The On-Site Injection/Extraction Cleaning Process can be used on these (and all other) Applause fabrics.
