Why Choose Duette® Honeycomb Shades?
Energy Efficiency & Sound Absorption
Duette® Honeycomb Shades use cellular pockets to trap air and help reduce heat transfer at the window. This insulating construction improves year-round comfort while also helping soften outside noise. For Florida homes, that means better protection from intense heat without sacrificing beautiful fabrics or clean design.
LightLock®
Duette® Honeycomb Shades with LightLock® deliver one of the most advanced blackout systems available. Specialized U-shaped side channels guide the shades while sealing the edges to dramatically reduce light leakage. The result is exceptional room darkening for bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms, and any space where complete darkness matters. Learn more about blackout window treatments and how LightLock® helps eliminate light gaps.
Duolite® & Top-Down Bottom-Up
Duette® Honeycomb Shades offer multiple ways to customize light control. Duolite® combines light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics in a single shade, allowing the entire window to remain covered while you transition from softly filtered daylight to room darkening.
Another popular option is Top-Down Bottom-Up operation, which lowers from the top to welcome natural light while maintaining privacy below. Each option provides a different way to tailor Duette® Honeycomb Shades to your home’s lighting and privacy needs.
ClearView®
ClearView® fabrics bring a sharper, more detailed view to Duette® Honeycomb Shades. This innovative translucent fabric allows more of your outdoor landscape to remain visible as natural light is softly filtered into your home, reducing glare without sacrificing comfort.
Unlike traditional cellular fabrics, ClearView® offers a more open view to the outdoors while preserving the insulating benefits of Duette® Honeycomb Shades. Learn more about the advantages of ClearView® fabrics and how they enhance both your view and your home’s atmosphere.
TrackGlide™, Specialty Shapes & Skylights
Some windows require specialized solutions, and Duette® Honeycomb Shades are designed to meet the challenge. TrackGlide™ is an innovative operating system created for tilt-turn windows and other applications with limited mounting space. A slim track mounts alongside the glass, allowing the shades to glide smoothly with the movement of the window while maintaining privacy, light control, and energy efficiency.
Beyond tilt-turn windows, Duette® Honeycomb Shades can be custom-crafted for arches, angles, circles, skylights, and other specialty window shapes. Whether you’re covering a specialty-shaped window near a vaulted ceiling or an overhead skylight, this collection delivers the same insulating performance and coordinated design throughout your home.
