Natural, Hand-Woven Materials

The beauty of Hartmann&Forbes (H&F) shades starts with their base level of design and components. At H&F, each window covering is given the same treatment and examination to ensure the fabrics are premium quality. Using natural fibers and renewable materials, H&F works with local farmers near their weaving facility in order to achieve the precise dimensions and measurements needed for optimum design.

The end result is shades and drapes that are the perfect color, texture, and quality deserving of your living space. Made-to-order means your shades are customized and woven to fit your home’s needs and window sizes. Personalization and high-end materials make H&F stand apart in the shading industry.

Aiming to Improve Your Home Security

Motorized Hartmann&Forbes shades can integrate completely into your smart home systems, such as with your security features. By setting your system to a “Vacation” mode, you can have your shades work as usual, raising and lowering throughout the day as if you were home. By giving off the illusion that your home is occupied, your shades will keep potential burglars away and deter them from even targeting your property in the first place.

Before you go to bed at night, your system can make it easy to check that every shade is lowered and that none are left rolled up on accident. Simply checking your smart device and pressing a single button can ensure every shade is lowered with ease. You can go to sleep knowing your home is secured and shielded at night from prying eyes.

A Boost in Energy-Efficiency

Are you interested in reducing your carbon footprint, starting at home? H&F shades help you go green. By managing heat gain and loss, your shades can lower your monthly costs while lowering energy usage overall. Your shades will provide insulation for every window, keeping warm or cold air from escaping through the glass. This, in turn, keeps your HVAC system from overworking itself to maintain your Kona-area home’s internal temperature.

By integrating your electric shades with your smart thermostat and HVAC system, you can have each component communicate with another. When your home starts to become too hot or cold inside, your shades will raise or lower for however long is needed to get the desired temperature back on track – without your HVAC causing your bills to skyrocket. In the end, you save and conserve energy on a daily basis.
