Advanced Features & Design Options
Customize Duette® Honeycomb Shades with advanced options for challenging windows, room darkening, flexible light control and enhanced outdoor views.
Duette® Shades for Challenging Windows
One of the advantages of Duette® Honeycomb Shades is their versatility for windows and doors that can be difficult to cover. Specialty configurations are available for arched and angled windows, skylights, tilt-turn windows, French doors, sliding glass doors and other unique openings.
For tilt-turn windows and select doors, the TrackGlide™ system uses a slim track that adheres directly to the glass, allowing the shade to move with the window without drilling into the frame. TrackGlide™ can be customized with room-darkening fabrics, top-down bottom-up control and cordless operation.
Duette® shades can also be tailored for specialty-shaped windows and skylights. For sliding glass doors and wide openings, Duette® Vertiglide™ brings the insulating cellular design to a vertical shade that moves smoothly from side to side.
LightLock® Blackout System
For bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms where exceptional room darkening is a priority, Duette® Honeycomb Shades can be customized with the LightLock® system. U-shaped side channels overlap the shade fabric to help prevent light from entering around the edges, creating a significantly darker room than standard blackout shades.
LightLock® combines this enhanced light control with the insulating cellular construction of Duette® shades, helping create a more comfortable environment for sleeping, relaxing or watching a screen. Explore our room-darkening window treatment solutions to discover additional ways to control incoming light.
Light Control & Privacy Options
Duette® Honeycomb Shades can be customized for different levels of natural light and privacy, with fabrics ranging from light filtering to room darkening. For even greater flexibility, Duolite® combines two fabrics in a single shade, allowing you to switch between softly filtered light and increased privacy or darkness throughout the day.
A Duolite® dual shade system pairs a light-filtering or sheer fabric with a room-darkening fabric, giving you two levels of light control at the same window. It’s an ideal option for bedrooms, living spaces and other rooms where lighting needs change from morning to night.
Duette® shades are also available with top-down bottom-up operation, allowing you to lower the shade from the top to bring in natural light while keeping the lower portion of the window covered for privacy. This makes it especially useful for bathrooms, bedrooms, street-facing windows and other spaces where you want daylight without exposing the entire window.
ClearView® Fabrics for Enhanced Views
ClearView® fabrics offer a more open view through select Duette® Honeycomb Shades while still providing filtered natural light and daytime privacy. The sheer cellular fabric reduces the visual barrier at the window, making it easier to enjoy outdoor views when the shade is lowered.
This option is especially well suited for living rooms, kitchens and other spaces where maintaining a connection to the outdoors is important. ClearView® fabrics can also help diffuse harsh sunlight and reduce glare while preserving the clean, insulating cellular design of Duette® shades.
