Industry experts believe that textured fabrics will be the next big trend in window coverings and, in their true innovative style, Hunter Douglas Commercial has released BellaSheer Fabric – a new range of textured, natural-hued fabrics.

Hunter Douglas Commercial Bellasheer Fabric is 100% Trevira CS polyester fabric – a sustainable, high-end fabric with outstanding fire retardancy, care and cleaning properties.  BellaSheer provides unique light-filtering properties for a low to mid-level privacy factor.

Available in four warm, subtle colours – Toffee, Natural, Pepper and White.

BellaSheer has been recognised by the independent Oeko –Tex institute for its environmental properties.

The LUMINETTE^® Privacy Sheers range from Hunter Douglas Commercial has been updated to include a new 4 ¾” vane in the exclusive Portico fabric.

The new 4 ¾” vane means more overlay between the vanes for total light control. In the closed position LUMINETTE^® Privacy Sheers block 99% of UV rays to protect and shield your home. Exclusive to the new, larger sized vane, is the Portico fabric range which allows you to create a new, distinct textured look with a high translucency to maximise your view to the outside.

LUMINETTE^® Privacy Sheers feature an innovative design with translucent fabric facings and soft fabric vanes that rotate for precise control of both light and privacy.

The latest overseas trends show that Roman Shades are the new generation of fashion window coverings for any home, which coincides with the exciting addition of Impression Roman Shades and Ballina Roman Shades.

Joining the SIGNATURE™ and CLASSIQUE^® Roman Shades, the new Impression and Ballina Roman Shades offer a sleek, minimalist appearance with the absence of a matching fabric pelmet providing a simple, understated style to your home.

The key difference between the Impression and Ballina Roman Shades lies in their method of operation.

The new Ballina Roman Shades feature a chain drive operation, perfect for larger, heavier blinds. The geared operation takes away the effort of opening and closing the shade.

The new Impression Roman Shade features a standard heavy duty cord lock, allowing you to alter the blinds position and lock this in, for complete light control. The Impression Roman Shade is operated from the side of the blind, providing a clean finish with no cords hanging in front of the fabric maintaining a minimalist appearance.

The new additions to the range feature the key Hunter Douglas Commercial Roman Shade attributes of ‘no-sew’ panels, for a clean appearance and a unique design ensuring the front of the shade is never exposed to UV rays, thereby ensuring against fading. Timber battens can also be included along the end of each panel so that your Ballina or Impression Roman Shade can be easily co-ordinated to other facets of your living areas.

Following rigorous assessment, the Hunter Douglas Commercial range of solar shading Sunscreen fabrics are now listed on the ecospecifier product database as an environmentally credible solution in window coverings.

Hunter Douglas Commercial’s  innovative product range includes GREENSCREEN^®  Generation, which is not only environmentally sound, but offers all the benefits of a Sunscreen fabric, letting the natural light shine in whilst reducing unwanted glare and light from entering a building.

The eco-friendly GREENSCREEN^® Generation is the first line of polyester solar shading fabrics available from Hunter Douglas.  GREENSCREEN^® has been tested and meets the maximum VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) content criteria specified by the Green Building Council of Australia (IEQ-11). The fabric is also recyclable at the end of its lifecycle making it not only a great choice for commercial fit outs, but the environment too*. GREENSCREEN^® Generation is now also listed on ecospecifier, the source of independent, verified information on preferable building materials for sustainable design.

The striking, iconic aquatic centre is named in honour of five times Gold Medal winning Olympic Champion, Ian Thorpe. The dramatic and distinctive building with its free form wave shaped roof and ceiling structure is set to offer a range of health and aquatic programs and services to cater for the diverse ages and interests of its surrounding communities.
