What Are Duette Shades?

Duette® Honeycomb Shades are the original cellular shades, engineered to provide beauty as well as offering levels of energy efficiency in both cold and warm climates. The honeycomb construction of the Duette Honeycomb Shades traps air in distinct pockets, which creates insulation that can help lower your energy consumption and energy bills.

Available in an expansive range of fabrics, colors, opacities and textures and have operating system design options such as Top-Down/Bottom-Up and Duette Duolite® that make these shades versatile throughout the home including hard to reach windows (such as Skylights) and 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.

Why Pick A Duette Shade?

There are many reasons to choose a Duette Shade for your home. Apart from our extensive fabric range and their versatility throughout the home, Duette Shades have many other qualities that make them a perfect inclusion for almost any room.

Reduce Your Heating Costs By Up To 43%*

Did you know most of your home’s energy is lost through windows? Research has revealed that up to 30%^ of total heat loss from your home occurs through uncovered windows. The Luxaflex Duette Architella covered window below on the right demonstrates significantly improved energy savings versus the uncovered window on the left.

What Happens In Summer & Winter?

During winter there’s an immediate reduction in radiant heat loss to the cold window glass, and people feel warmer. Here’s how it works:

All people and objects give off and receive radiant heat. When significantly more is given off than they get back to cold glass, it can feel like a chilly draft, even if the window is tightly sealed. When people lose enough radiant heat to feel uncomfortable, they will typically turn up the thermostat, consuming energy resources and adding utility costs – but a well-insulating shade can counteract all this.

Similarly in Summer the reverse effect is seen. The pockets of air traps and blocks incoming heat, keeping the home cooler inside.

The Quiet Achiever

Duette Shades make the perfect choice when looking at blinds for the bedroom or across your home including media rooms. With the Luxaflex Duette Shades honeycomb technology in addition to their energy efficiency properties with helping to keep your home warm in winter and cooler in summer, the honeycomb technology also helps to reduce everyday sound energy.

Sound energy is absorbed within the cell, dulling exterior noise by up to 55% even with Translucent fabric. Allowing light to enter your home while keeping noise at bay.

Pairing Up

Duette Shades can be paired with your choice of the largest range of operating systems Luxaflex Window Fashions offer, allowing them to be easily adapted for any window or door. Operating systems include child-safe options such as EasyRise, UltraGlide®, the cord-free LiteRise, a hard-wired motorised system, or our tech-savvy PowerView™ system. Vertiglide Shades are perfect for light control in doorways. The ideal solution for sliding doors, the fabric runs from side to side, suspended from a single track system.

Daylighting

Another important energy-related function of window coverings is to diffuse incoming sunlight to soften it and bring it deeper into a room. This function is called “daylighting.” In addition to reducing glare and improving visual comfort, daylighting can often save energy by reducing the need for electrical lighting.

Total Blockout Solution

The Duette Shade Signature headrail has been cleverly designed to ensure minimal light gaps when paired with a blockout fabric, giving you a more complete blockout control which is perfect for bedrooms and media rooms.

Top Down, Bottom Up

Lowering the blind from the top down allows light and provides a view, while maintaining privacy. Duette Shades also works well for skylights, which operate with a control stick. In addition, shapes such as triangles and arched windows can be covered with a fixed Duette shape. Teamed up with a blind below, they provide an ideal solution to unusually shaped windows.

Extensive Range

Available in a wide variety of colours, textures and fabrics, our revolutionary (and super stylish) design provides thermal insulation and sound absorption – without losing on form or efficiency. You can also pair Duettes with other window furnishings such as Luminette® Privacy Sheers or Silhouette® Shadings to complete your whole-house fit-out.

Duette Shades – Trackglide System

Designed for European-style Tilt-Turn windows, the TrackGlide® System with Duette Shades provides exceptional insulation, privacy and light control without restricting the full functionality of a Tilt & Turn window. The unobtrusive side tracks keep the shade in position regardless of whether the window is closed, swung open or tilted from the top.

Experience Next Level Darkness With Duette Lightlock Shades

Created to help you outsmart the sun and enjoy a better night’s sleep, Duette LightLock Shades combine the industry leading Duette Shades with the patented LightLock System to achieve unparalleled darkness.
