First developed by Hunter Douglas during the global energy crisis of the 1980s, Duette® was introduced to the world as the first ever energy efficient window covering. Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades feature a unique construction of honeycomb cells that trap air and insulate. Redesigned over the years, Duette® continues to be the benchmark for energy efficient window coverings, and now they offer so much more than just insulation.
Duette® Honeycomb Shades are the original cellular shades, specifically engineered to provide beauty and energy efficiency at the window in both cold and warm climates. Their honeycomb construction traps air in distinct pockets, which creates insulation that can help lower your energy consumption and energy bills.
Duette shades are available in an expansive range of pleat sizes, fabrics, colors, opacities and textures. Innovative operating system design options such as Top-Down/Bottom-Up and Duette Duolite® make these shades a top choice for any window, skylight or even specialty window shapes like arches, sidelights and circles.
Duette shades are available in a single-cell design as well as the industry-leading Duette Architella®, which features a honeycomb within a honeycomb for maximum energy efficiency.
When it comes to options, the sky is the limit. Duette® Honeycomb Shades can be customized to fit any size window, no matter how unique, including circles and arches. The Vertiglide™ operating system is uniquely designed for a vertical orientation and operation of Duette®, perfect for sliding glass doors. Duette® comes in a wide array of fabric types and colors, textures and pleat sizes, making it possible to find the perfect complement to your home’s decor. Duette® is also available in varying levels of insulation. If you have an older home that needs a lot of extra insulation, you can opt for Duette® Architella, known for its patented honeycomb within a honeycomb design for maximum insulation.
For doors that need extra insulation, the Vertiglide™ operating system is the ideal option. It’s designed for vertical applications and uses the same fabrics as your horizontal Duette shades. You can use one shade to cover the entire expanse of a sliding door. Or, cover the door with a split stack Vertiglide shade, with each side of the shade operating independently.
Duette shades are designed and custom-crafted in the U.S. with the highest level of quality. Best of all, every window treatment from Hunter Douglas is covered by our lifetime limited warranty.
