All three brands compared, at your windows.
Hunter Douglas
The company that invented the cellular shade and never stopped engineering: proprietary operating systems, the PowerView+ smart-shade platform, and designer lines — Silhouette®, Vignette®, Duette®, Provenance®, Heritance® — that exist nowhere else. When a window deserves the definitive version of a treatment, this is usually where it comes from, backed by dealer-only warranties we service locally.
Graber
The catalog that covers everything, honestly priced: every treatment family we install, in fabrics and materials chosen well — which is why Graber is our most-installed brand across whole-home projects. Naturals, duals, pleateds with three liner tiers, and motorized options throughout, from an American manufacturer whose warranty support we've never had to apologize for.
Norman® USA
Our third dealership exists for one main reason: Norman builds shutters the way furniture makers build furniture — a specialist's depth in hardwood and composite plantation shutters that rounds out our Hunter Douglas and Graber shutter lines. Norman's catalog hangs in all three showrooms; ask for the side-by-side when shutters are on your list.
Brand Questions, Answered Straight
What does "authorized dealer" actually get me?
Three things you can't get gray-market: the full custom catalogs including dealer-only lines, factory-backed warranties that are actually honored because the manufacturer knows who measured and installed, and local service — warranty claims go through us, not a call center.
Hunter Douglas or Graber — what's the honest difference?
Tiering, mostly: Hunter Douglas owns the designer lines and proprietary systems (Silhouette®, Duette®, PowerView+) at premium pricing; Graber delivers every category at whole-home value with quality we install more of than anything else. Many of our projects mix them — Hunter Douglas where the room is the showpiece, Graber everywhere the budget thanks you.
Why carry Norman too?
Depth in one category: shutters. Norman is a shutter specialist, and having its hardwood and composite lines next to Heritance® and Palm Beach™ means shutter shoppers compare three makers in one showroom instead of three showrooms.
Which brand should I choose?
Wrong question, honestly — the right one is "which product for which room," and the brand follows. That's what the free consultation settles: samples from the relevant brands, side by side, at your windows, with prices attached.
Three Brands, Compared at Your Windows
Free in-home consultation with samples from the brands your project actually needs — and every style full-size in our Vienna, Herndon & Alexandria showrooms.
Hunter Douglas, Graber, or Norman? The honest answer depends on the room — and we carry all three.
