Advanced Features & Design Options

TrackGlide™ System for Doors & Tilt-Turn Windows
The TrackGlide™ system is a unique operating option designed for hard-to-cover windows and doors. Ideal for French doors, patio doors, and tilt-turn windows, this system allows shades to move with the window—without the need for drilling into frames.
A slim track adheres directly to the glass, making it perfect for tight spaces where traditional window coverings won’t fit. TrackGlide™ is available with room-darkening fabrics, top-down bottom-up control, and cordless operation for added convenience.

LightLock™ Blackout System
Achieve the ultimate in room darkening with the best blackout shades available. The LightLock™ system for Duette® Honeycomb Shades uses side channels that seal the edges of the fabric, blocking out incoming light for near-total darkness.
Unlike standard window shades, LightLock™ eliminates light gaps along the sides, creating an ideal solution for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms where complete darkness is essential.
If you’re looking for blackout window coverings in Roseville, this system offers one of the most effective ways to control light and improve sleep and comfort. Explore our window shade options for more light control solutions.

Duolite® Dual Shade System
Duolite® is a popular upgrade that combines two shades in one window. With a dual shade system, you can switch between light-filtering and room-darkening fabrics for flexible light control throughout the day.
The top portion allows soft, filtered light and optional view-through, while the lower shade provides increased privacy and darkness when needed. This makes Duolite® an ideal solution for bedrooms, living spaces, and any room where both natural light and privacy are important.
Even when fully lowered, Duette® Honeycomb Shades continue to provide insulation, helping maintain comfort while adapting to your lighting needs. This type of dual shade design is often compared to “day and night shades,” offering both visibility and privacy in one system.

ClearView® Fabrics for Enhanced Views
ClearView® is a newer fabric option for Duette® Honeycomb Shades designed to improve visibility to the outdoors while maintaining interior comfort. These fabrics allow more natural light in and create a clearer, more open view compared to traditional cellular shades.
While honeycomb shades are known for their insulation, ClearView® offers a balance of energy efficiency and view-through performance—reducing glare and helping protect your home from heat and UV exposure. Learn more about ClearView® window shade technology.
Available on select Duette® shades, this option is ideal for living rooms, kitchens, and spaces where you want to enjoy the view without sacrificing comfort.
