Questions Austin homeowners ask
Do you install Hunter Douglas shades?
Yes. We supply and install Hunter Douglas window shades, including sheer, privacy sheer, honeycomb, roller and roman styles, each measured to your window. Hunter Douglas is a trademark of its owner. Aperture & Co. is an independent company, and the brand does not endorse this website.
How do I handle strong afternoon sun on a west-facing window?
Use a denser fabric on the west side and a lighter one elsewhere. Outside, a screen stops the sun before it reaches the glass, which keeps more heat out than a shade on the inside can. Inside, a honeycomb or roller shade softens what gets through.
Which interior shade gives the most privacy?
A fully closed roller, roman or honeycomb shade gives the most privacy. A sheer lets in soft light while you keep the view by day, but at night with the lights on it shows the room, so many homes use a privacy sheer or a layered pair.
Do I need approval from my community or HOA?
Some communities review exterior changes. Check yours before you order. We can give you product details and samples to include with your request.
