Advanced Features of Duette® Honeycomb Shades
Insulating Window Treatments
Duette® Honeycomb Shades are energy efficient window treatments that feature cellular pockets that trap air at the window, creating an insulating layer between the glass and your home’s interior. This cellular construction helps reduce heat transfer through windows, making Duette® an energy-efficient choice for Houston homes where intense sunlight and outdoor temperatures can affect indoor comfort. Multiple cell sizes, fabrics and opacity levels allow the shades to be customized for different rooms and windows.
LightLock® Room-Darkening Technology
For enhanced room darkening, Duette® Honeycomb Shades are available with LightLock® technology. Specially designed U-shaped side channels help absorb or deflect incoming light and reduce the light gaps that can occur along the edges of a shade. Ideal for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms, LightLock® pairs room-darkening fabrics with the insulating cellular construction of Duette® shades for greater darkness, privacy and comfort.
TrackGlide™ for Tilt-Turn Windows & Doors
Designed for tilt-turn windows, French doors and other challenging applications, TrackGlide™ keeps Duette® Honeycomb Shades securely aligned with the window or door as it opens and closes. The system attaches without drilling into the window frame, making it especially useful where traditional shade installation may be difficult. Enjoy the insulating cellular design and light control of Duette® shades, with options including room-darkening fabrics and top-down/bottom-up operation.
Duolite® Dual-Shade Light Control
Duolite® combines a light-filtering fabric and a room-darkening fabric in a single Duette® Honeycomb Shade, providing two levels of light control at one window. Enjoy softly filtered natural light during the day, then transition to greater privacy and room darkening when needed. This dual-shade design gives Houston homeowners greater flexibility to manage changing sunlight, privacy and comfort throughout the day.
ClearView® Fabrics for Enhanced Outdoor Views
Available with select Duette® Honeycomb Shades, ClearView® fabric offers a more open view to the outdoors while filtering natural light and helping reduce glare. Its sheer, cellular construction provides greater visibility through the shade while retaining the insulating benefits of Duette® honeycomb design. ClearView® is an ideal option for Houston homeowners who want to preserve outdoor views while managing bright natural light and maintaining comfort at the window.
