Why Choose Duette® Honeycomb Shades?
Duette® Honeycomb Shades are known for their distinctive cellular construction, which creates insulating pockets of air between the window and your room. This innovative design combines clean, uniform pleats with the comfort benefits of energy-efficient window shades.
What makes Duette® especially versatile is the number of ways the collection can be customized. Choose from light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics, top-down bottom-up operation, PowerView® Automation, Duolite®, LightLock®, and specialty configurations for challenging windows. From bedrooms that need precise light control to expansive windows where insulation matters, Duette® shades can be tailored to the way each space in your home functions.
Energy-Efficient Cellular Design
The signature honeycomb construction of Duette® shades creates insulating air pockets between the window and your room. This cellular design helps reduce heat transfer through the glass, improving comfort during cold Minneapolis–St. Paul winters and warm summer months. Choose from a range of fabrics and cell sizes to balance insulation, light control and style throughout your home.
Flexible Light Control: Top-Down Bottom-Up & Duolite®
Duette® shades offer flexible ways to manage natural light and privacy throughout the day. With top-down bottom-up shades, you can lower the shade from the top to bring daylight into the room while keeping the lower portion of the window covered for privacy.
For even more control, Duolite® combines a light-filtering and room-darkening fabric in one shade. Adjust each fabric as your needs change—from softly filtered daylight to greater privacy and darkness. Explore how dual shades can provide multiple levels of light control at a single window.
Room Darkening with LightLock®
For bedrooms and media spaces where darkness matters, Duette® shades can be customized with LightLock®. This innovative system uses unique side channels designed to absorb or deflect incoming light, helping minimize the light gaps commonly found along the edges of window shades.
Paired with Duette® room-darkening fabric, LightLock® creates an enhanced room-darkening environment while maintaining the insulating benefits of honeycomb construction. Discover more room darkening shade options for bedrooms, nurseries and entertainment spaces.
Duette® Shades for Specialty & Large Windows
Duette® Honeycomb Shades can be configured for much more than standard windows. TrackGlide™ provides a streamlined solution for tilt-turn windows, using narrow tracks that keep the shade positioned close to the glass as the window operates.
Specialty Duette® configurations also make cellular shades an option for skylights, expansive windows and wide openings. For sliding doors and large spans, Duette® Vertiglide™ brings the insulating cellular design into a smooth vertical format. Explore our window treatments for large windows to compare Duette® with other solutions for oversized glass.
