Are your window treatments American-made? If not, do they meet American standards?

Most of all, did your money support your vision of the world?

We’ve all heard the admonition to “Buy Local!” or “Buy American!”, but why is that so important?

We’ve written before about why we sell Hunter-Douglas window treatments. We like the quality, the lifetime guarantee and the commitment to safety features that keep kids and pets safe. But we also like them because Hunter-Douglas is an American company and we believe that neighbors supporting neighbors with our purchases makes our community better.

We primarily work with the Hunter-Douglas offices in Broomfield and Denver, CO. The company headquarters are in New York and it has offices and facilities all over the world because in addition to window coverings, they also make architectural products for commercial buildings. The pretty ventilated facade systems you see on new buildings or the acoustic ceiling in a concert hall may have been made by Hunter-Douglas. They don’t just know about window coverings. They know the materials used to manage sun, sound and ventilation inside and out.

Equally important to us is the way Hunter Douglas treats their employees. They hire people who are “committed to creating world class solutions with passion” and then compensate them in a way that shows they value the people who work for them. Employees earn enough to support their families, have 401K plans and insurance through the company. They offer employees education so that they can move up in the company and grow with it.

This means that every time you buy a Hunter Douglas product through us, not only can we be confident about the quality and that it will last, we know that a lot of the money spent is going right back into our community and our country. Your window treatment dollars are ultimately paying for a family home or children’s education.

That’s our vision for the world. We want to see our work benefit our community and the best way to do that is to buy American products, especially when they’re made right here in Colorado.
