Cellular Blinds - Levolor vs. Hunter Douglas

9 years ago
Need some advice here. Our new home need blinds. However, I am stuck as to if there's truly a difference in brands. We would like cellular shades. There's a huge difference in price between Levolor and Hunter Douglas. Does it really matter? Open to all suggestions please. Thank you.

    I went with Comfortex linen cellular shades in my master bath. Some of the cellular shades seemed so papery to me. The ones I got are much more of a linen look and feel. So far I'm very happy with them

    I have the Hunter Douglas shades and like them. Sorry, can't help with comparing them to Levolor.

    I have Levlor and love them.

    Hunter Douglas. No comparison in quality. And options.

    Hunter Douglas has a bigger selection, better warranty, and is a higher quality. If you're planning on being in your new home for a while, it's well worth the additional expense. They'll last longer.

    Thanks so much for all the great suggestions. We decided on mixing them up.

    Daphene - Hi, we are getting ready to make a major blind purchase for a wall of windows - do you have a favorite - since you mixed them up and which brand costs more? Thanks :)

    I would not mix them up. Hunter Douglas from a reputable retailer or designer is a superior quality.

    Honestly , it also depends if you're using these as simply occasional privacy, or if they are the sole window treatmemant.

    There are many more stylish, options that can do MORE. In other words... less utilitarian

    Jan thanks so much. We are building a new home and we have a very large wall of windows. Each window is 5'x 8'. We want to have clean modern blinds with wired electric. If you have any other recommendations we would appreciate them. I have contacted hunter douglas and I appreciate your help! :)

    Allison - it worked out fine for us. I had a budget restraint because we had to spend money elsewhere in our home. I had to replace the flooring, amongst many other things, which cost a lot. It was 4x the cost and my husband received a huge discount with Levolor for being in the military. So we went with them. So far so good. However, I wanted something simple as well. I went with the highly quality within that brand. Hope that helps. Congrats on your new home.

    There are soooo many really great options in Hunter Douglas, Good Luck. !!

    Jan is right. They are awesome options. If you have no budgetary restraints go for it. I told my friend to go with them bc she only had 3 windows. I had 25 windows :-(.

    How are the cellular blinds in relations to insulation from the elements? I live in Palos Hills, Illinois and it gets very cold in the winter and summer I get plenty of sunlight.

    @Rocmac The double cell Duette honeycomb shades are an excellent insulator in both the winter and summer months. They were designed with energy efficiency in mind. Check them out: https://www.twoblindguys.com/hunter-douglas-window-treatments/duette

    @daphene I'm also considering Levolor shades. Want to make sure you're still happy with Levelor. Quite a savings compared to Hunter Douglas.

    Yes, I am still happy with them. Looks brand new and we had great customer service. So far so good and it’s been theee years.
