Sleek, Modern Aesthetics
Aluminum blinds have evolved far beyond the basic mini-blinds of decades past. Modern Precious Metals® brings a refined, contemporary aesthetic with:
- Clean horizontal lines – Perfect for modern and minimalist interiors
- Slim slat profiles – Elegant proportion without visual bulk
- Consistent colour – Uniform finish across all slats
- Metallic sophistication – Subtle sheen elevates any space
Available in a curated palette of contemporary colours—from bright whites and soft neutrals to dramatic darks and true metallics. These blinds complement modern furniture, stainless steel appliances, and contemporary millwork beautifully.
Finishes That Last
Hunter Douglas developed exclusive finishes for Modern Precious Metals® that outperform standard aluminum blinds:
de-Gard® Finish
- Resists dust and grime for easier cleaning. Fingerprints wipe away without streaking.
Scratch-Resistant Coating
- Advanced surface treatment maintains appearance even with daily use.
UV-Stable Colours
- Won't fade or discolour from Ottawa's intense summer sun.
Colour Options:
- Bright whites and off-whites
- Warm neutrals and cool grays
- Bold colours for accent windows
- True metallics (silver, bronze, copper)
The quality difference is visible and tangible—these are not commodity blinds.
