Hunter Douglas Alustra Architectural Shades
Roman shade meets roller shade for an elegant paneled shade with smooth operation and a clean minimal look.
Alustra Architectural Shades combine the best of roller shades and roman shades.
Soft structured panels that roll up simply with a clean-lined appearance are a match made in heaven with an elevated, modern vibe.
Let your room's design shine with the textile design element of premium Alustra textured fabrics and Architectural Shades' horizontal rhythm for a sophisticated, pulled-together look.
The best of roman shades
Like roman shades, Hunter Douglas Alustra Architectural Shades feature even, structural horizontal panels that bring design rhythm and architectural interest to your windows. Soft fabric-covered aluminum battens create these sections but allow the shade to wrap around a top roller when raised, for a clean, minimal appearance.
The best of roller shades
Unlike roman shades, there are no lifting cords on the back of the shade, and no 'stack' of fabric folds that accumulate around the bottom rail as the shade goes up. When the shade is fully lowered, the top of the fabric panel slides back to a position closer to the window, which means smaller gaps at the edges for optimal privacy
The roller mechanism also allows for a revers, or front, roll option. When this option is specified, it allows Alustra Architectural Shades to smoothly clear window handles and cranks.

Detailing Options
Architectural Shade features let you design and detail your shades perfectly.
Standard features
or "Kickback" function
bead chain operation
With so many options available, it's easy to create the look you want for your windows. All Architectural Shades are designed to roll off the front of the roller at a 3 o'clock position, commonly known as "reverse roll". This allows uniform batten and panel spacing from top to bottom as well as easily floating over window handles and cranks. The result is a finished, sophisticated look with precision that brings architectural interest to your whole room.
Standard Features
- Reverse Roll
- Kickback™ or "Reverse Roll Recessed" function: This innovative feature moves fabric panel closer to the window after the shade is fully lowered, for smaller edge gaps and optimal privacy. This allows smaller edge gaps and optimal privacy. If you prefer the fabric panel to remain the 3 o'clock position, request no Kickback.
- Unique fabric-covered bottom bar designed to complement the contoured battens
- Bottom Rail
- Manual operation with clutch and bead chain system
Optional Features
In addition to Reverse Roll, you can opt for:
- Exclusive hardware and finishes in 2 sleek metallic colors: Brushed Nickel and Bronze Shimmer™
