Window Treatment Wednesday: Hunter Douglas Wins Big at WCMA Awards
It’s awards season. The Golden Globes got us started, with the Oscars and Grammys on the way. But no matter how much somebody or some group cleans up at any of those events, it will be hard to match the showing Hunter Douglas made at the 2015 WCMA Product Awards.
Hunter Douglas won an amazing 31 awards at the annual Window Covering Manufacturers Association event, held this past November. All product award winners were recognized this past week in Las Vegas, at the International Window Coverings Expo. Hunter Douglas has received the WCMA Product of the Year award for the 15th time.
Silhouette® Duolite™ combines window shading and a room-darkening roller shade in a fabric-covered headrail that is coordinated with the shading. The winning entry also featured the innovative UltraGlide® 2 Click and Walk Away™ operating system. This new product offering will be available Spring 2016.
Hirshfield’s window treatment staff are excited about the addition of LiteRise® to the Alustra® Woven Textures and Provenance® Woven Wood Shades.
