Hunter Douglas Architectural RB 500+ roller shades provide a clean and modern shading solution designed for commercial environments. This system is built for large windows, frequent daily use, and projects that require both durability and design flexibility.

Key Features and Benefits
Commercial grade engineering
RB 500+ shades are designed to handle wide and tall openings with ease. Automated shades can reach up to 170 inches in width and heights up to 240 inches with engineering approval. This system works well for storefronts, conference rooms, lobbies, and floor-to-ceiling glass.
Flexible control options
The RB 500+ platform supports manual chain and crank controls as well as a full range of motorized options including wired, wireless, and battery powered systems. This ensures compatibility with small commercial builds and large scale automated projects.
Extensive fabric selection
Choose from more than seventy fabric collections and over five hundred colors. All materials are flame retardant for commercial safety compliance. Fabrics range from blackout to sheer and offer openness levels from zero percent to twenty five percent so you can control light, glare, and visibility.
Clean architectural profiles
Hardware options include heavy duty tubes, professional grade clutch systems, fascia covers, and side channels for blackout performance. Finish options include anodized aluminum, white, vanilla, bronze, and black. The system maintains a clean and consistent appearance across multiple rooms or an entire building.
Integration and performance
RB 500+ shades meet current commercial safety standards and are compatible with automation and building control systems. They are suitable for energy efficient projects and contribute to LEED focused designs.

The right choice usually comes down to four factors: how much light control you want, how much privacy you need, the room’s humidity and sun exposure, and your budget. Bedrooms often benefit from room-darkening or blackout options; kitchens and bathrooms do well with moisture-resistant materials like faux wood or vinyl; living rooms and offices have more flexibility for style-driven choices like real wood blinds or fabric shades. During a free consultation, we walk through your specific rooms and narrow this down together rather than asking you to guess from a catalog.
Yes — every project starts with a free in-home consultation, where we measure your windows and help you choose the fit, style, color, and functionality (including motorization) that match your space. Nothing is off-the-shelf; every order is built to your exact window dimensions.
Blinds use individual slats (wood, metal, or faux wood) that tilt open and closed, giving you precise, adjustable light control. Shades are a single piece of fabric that raises and lowers as one panel — styles range from sheer to blackout, and include cellular shades built for energy efficiency. Shutters are solid, hinged panels permanently mounted to the window frame, offering the most durable, built-in look of the three. Most homes end up using a mix — shutters or blinds in higher-traffic rooms, shades where energy efficiency or softer light is the priority.
