One of the primary functions of any window treatment is to control light. Whether you need to block light entirely or simply diffuse it, choosing the right light control factors for your window treatments will help you harness light any way you need it. As your local Hunter Douglas dealer, we carry a wide variety of window coverings for light control. Stop by our showroom in Ashburn, serving the Washington DC area, to see full size window treatment displays.
