Light and Privacy, Your Way

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Duette® Honeycomb Shades unique?
Duette® Honeycomb Shades feature a distinctive cellular construction that traps air in pockets at the window. This design combines excellent insulation with softly diffused light, privacy, sound absorption, and a clean, contemporary appearance.
Are Duette® Honeycomb Shades energy efficient?
Yes. The honeycomb cells create an insulating air barrier that helps reduce heat transfer through the window, keeping rooms more comfortable in both warm and cold weather. Actual energy savings depend on the selected construction, windows, climate, and installation.
What is the difference between Duette® and Duette Architella® shades?
Standard Duette® shades use individual honeycomb cells, while Duette Architella® features a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb construction. The additional internal cell creates more insulating air pockets, making Architella® the preferred option when maximum energy efficiency is a priority.
Can Duette® shades provide blackout?
Yes. Blackout fabrics significantly reduce incoming light, while the optional LightLock® system uses specially designed side channels to absorb or deflect nearly all exterior light. It is an excellent choice for bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms, and other light-sensitive spaces.
Can Duette® shades be motorized or made for specialty windows?
Yes. Duette® shades can be customized for arches, angled windows, skylights, sliding doors, and other specialty openings. PowerView® Automation also provides convenient control through a remote, mobile device, schedules, and compatible smart-home systems.
