Soft Fabric Window Coverings
Trio Convertible Shades by Hunter Douglas are soft fabric window coverings featuring 1-1/8 inch individual, hexagonally shaped horizontal vanes that open and close to function as both a shade and a blind. Vanes open for a full view-through, close for soft, diffused light and complete privacy and can be adjusted to anything in-between. A single operating cord both opens and closes the vanes or raises and lowers the shade. The patented cellular vane construction offers energy efficiency with an R-value of 3.94 and blocks 75 percent of solar heat.

They are available with the TiltAnywhere option, allowing the shadings to open from the top down or from the bottom up, both ways at the same time and a full range of light control and privacy.
