Removing Hunter Douglas Faux Wood Blinds

Hunter Douglas is a brand-name manufacturer of a wide variety of blinds and other window treatments. Besides making real wood blinds, they make alternative wood blinds that look like the real thing. These faux blinds don't fade, warp or bow. Whether you've decided to update your Hunter Douglas blinds, or change the look of your windows by using a different type of treatment, your first step is to remove the existing blinds. Taking them down is not a difficult or time-consuming task.
