The Blind Spot

We are a Hunter Douglas Gallery Showroom displaying the majority of their product line, including the Alustra Collection, an exclusive assortment of fine fabrics & hardware to make a statement in any home. At THE BLIND SPOT, INC., we provide a professional, personal approach to window coverings, priced competitively for consumers or businesses desiring quality custom products at reasonable prices. We offer name brand manufacturers and products with a variety of optional features including motorization with remote control.

For wide windows and sliding doors, the Luminette PrivacySheer presents itself like soft draperies, yet has fabric vanes to rotate for privacy and light control. Enjoy subdued light but superior UV protection. One single panel of sheer and vanes, not individual louvers wrapped in sheer material. Our Nantucket shadings offer a streamlined selection of operating systems and soft sheers, similar to Silhouette. Both stylish and sensibly priced, these shadings feature only 3″ vanes that tilt for effective light control.

Draperies or Top Treatments add the finishing touch to any room! You can add coordinating colors and patterns, or striking contrasts and accents. We have available many decorative hardware pieces in all styles and colors to complement your fabric choices as well! Let one of our consultants help you finish out your desired look! We offer one free Design consultation in your home so you can get an idea of the price of your project. After that, Designers will charge on an hourly basis if you do NOT place an order with them.

SonnetteTM Cellular Roller Shades: A cellular/roller combination: Innovative curved shape, energy efficiency of a single cell Duette, with clean lines and simplicity of a roller shade. Provides light control and privacy. Control options include LiteRise cordless operation, PowerView battery Motorizarion with RTS motors/remote control, and the NEW SoftTouchTM Motorization control - also battery operation, via wand control attached to the shade, not a remote! Gently pull down on the wand to lower shades and push up to raise them.

Our Skyline Gliding Window Panels are a patented twist on panel track blinds. A sleek, contemporary panel design lends modern drama to any dcor, whether covering large windows or when used as a unique sliding room divider. Open, they stack tightly to offer maximum view; closed they display their rich fabrics and texture. They coordinate with Designer Screen Shades and Designer Roller Shades and Alustra Woven Textures. The Cadence Soft Vertical Blinds feature patented curved vanes, mimicking soft drapery folds that move smoothly and quietly along their track; ideal for elegant styling and translucency.

Fine woods, timeless design, traditional styling and rich hardwood. Parkland wood blinds complement the lines of any room. Fashioned to create a warm and inviting home, they're available in a variety of colors and 3 slat sizes, 1 3/8", 2" and 2 ". Bright whites and rich, modern stains. Parkland Classicswood blinds, 100% basswood, offer a wide selection of paint colors and stains. Also many textures as well. Two valance options to cover the head rail. Add a design feature of cloth tapes, or reduce light penetrations with the de-Light no-holes option.

In-home repairs typically cost the minimum trip charge (currently $95) plus the minimum repair charge (currently $65). This is dependent on what repairs need to be done, how many shades/blinds need work, your location, and if we can ascertain up front what repair is needed. We add the cost of individual repairs to get your total. If you only need two strings re-strung or one cord loop replaced you pay the minimum $65. If you have multiple shades that need work we add the individual repairs together to get the final cost.

Contract orders are individual orders of 25 or more blinds or shades of the same product line. Typical customers are large commercial entities, commercial property managers, commercial developers, architects, and designers (specifiers) as well as commercial contractors, builders or construction project managers. Occasionally a residential customer can qualify for such orders. Primarily products selected for contract orders include but are not limited to, miniblinds, vertical blinds, solar screen shades and draperies.

As a business, respectful of your customers needs, you want to provide shadings on your windows that control heat build-up and sun glare. You also want easy maintenance and good value. We specialize in providing products geared to the industrial or storefront commercial enterprise. For many customers who desire sun control with a view, we provide a solar screen product. Other customers need privacy and we have an array of products available: from mini-blinds to cellular shades to wood blinds, that all have distinct looks and benefits.

The Blind Spot is very knowledgeable about Window Energy Efficiency. We have participated with Excel Energy and other partners in the Excel Energy Makeover Contests for eight years now. We have many contacts in the Energy Audit field, HVAC, Windows, Ducts & Insulation. Let us help you with your next Energy Upgrade. See below how we feel that a home works as a system when it comes to energy. Conduction - Conduction is the movement of heat through a solid material. Touch a hot skillet and you'll feel heat conducted from the electric coil through the pan.

Skylights are a great feature in most homes to allow extra light into rooms. The downside is that they have the potential to let sunlight overheat your rooms in the summer and they allow heat to escape in the winter. Skylights come in three different operating systems: Manual (used with a pole or crank or manually moved with your hands), battery operated (comes with a remote and a battery pack, batteries need to be changed as needed), and hard-wired motorized (operate with a remote or switch control).

Having been in the window covering industry for more than 20 years, we have sold and serviced many blind manufacturers. We decided to align ourselves with the Hunter Douglas brand. We did this for many reasons. The Hunter Douglas website is vast, with beautiful room and close up photos of their product line. We would highly recommend anyone visit their website to get a better understanding of their product line - www.
