Hunter Douglas Architectural Window Coverings has announced that its RB 500+ automated roller shade systems have been certified by Underwriter Laboratories (UL), earning the UL Certified Mark.
UL is an independent, third-party safety certification organization that sets standards for certain product categories and tests products to determine whether they meet those standards. The technical knowledge and scientific expertise behind the UL Mark brings peace of mind to customers and businesses that rely on safe, sustainable products.
“We are one of a very short list of manufacturers whose automated shade products are UL Certified. Included in this certification is the assembly process, as well as the facility itself,” says Nick Chiaro, general manager, Hunter Douglas Architectural Window Coverings. “Architects and designers value the versatility and quality of the RB 500+ system. Now they can feel even more confident because of its safety and compliance profile.”
Hunter Douglas engineered the RB 500+ automated systems for performance. From standard battery operated systems to wired, its automation program offers quiet technology, ADA compliance, and meets child safety standards. Integrating with most third party systems – including light control, HVAC, and all other forms of building management system integration – design professionals rely on the RB 500+ to solve shading challenges.
The architectural feel combined with color coordinated components creates a modern look that doesn’t require fascia. Hundreds of fire-resistant fabrics are available in high-performance, sustainable, blackout, and acoustical options helping to maximize the energy savings that motorized roller shades offer. “The entire automated assembled system, not just the motor, is UL Certified. Technical experts from UL conduct comprehensive evaluations, so authorities and our customers can trust the UL Mark meets the vast majority of electrical inspection codes enforced across the country,” notes Chiaro.
