Energy-Efficient Cellular Shades for Ontario Homes
Duette® Honeycomb Shades are designed with cellular pockets that trap air at the window, creating an insulating layer that helps reduce heat transfer. This added insulation can help keep rooms more comfortable during cold Ontario winters while also reducing heat gain through windows during warmer months.
Different cell sizes, fabrics, and opacity levels allow Duette® shades to balance insulation with the light control and privacy needs of each room. For homeowners looking to improve comfort at the window, Duette® is one of the most versatile options in our collection of energy-efficient window coverings.
Duolite® Dual Shades
Duette® Honeycomb Shades with Duolite® combine two fabric opacities in a single shade for flexible light control throughout the day. Pair a light-filtering fabric with a room-darkening fabric to welcome soft natural light when you want it, then adjust the secondary fabric for greater privacy and darkness. The two fabrics operate together in one streamlined system, allowing you to position either fabric across the window or display a combination of both.
This dual shade design is especially useful in bedrooms, living spaces, and other rooms where lighting and privacy needs change from morning to night.
LightLock® for Enhanced Room Darkening
For bedrooms, nurseries, and media spaces where controlling outside light is essential, Duette® Honeycomb Shades can be enhanced with LightLock® for exceptional room-darkening performance. LightLock® uses specially designed side channels that fit closely against the window frame, helping prevent light from entering around the edges of the shade.
Paired with room-darkening Duette® fabrics, the system creates a significantly darker environment for sleeping, relaxing, or watching a movie. Explore more room-darkening window treatments to compare options for controlling unwanted light throughout your home.
ClearView® Fabrics
Duette® Honeycomb Shades with ClearView® fabric offer a unique way to enjoy the insulating benefits of cellular shades while maintaining a view to the outdoors. The sheer fabric allows natural light to enter the room and preserves exterior views, while helping soften direct sunlight and reduce glare.
ClearView® gives homeowners greater flexibility in spaces where maintaining natural light and a connection to the outdoors are priorities. When more privacy or light control is needed, Duette® offers additional fabric opacities and operating options to customize the shade for the space.
TrackGlide™ for Doors & Specialty Windows
Duette® Honeycomb Shades with TrackGlide™ bring cellular shade performance to windows and doors where traditional shades can be difficult to use. The low-profile tracks adhere directly along the edges of the glass, keeping the shade securely in place as it moves while preserving access to handles and surrounding hardware.
Ideal for tilt-turn windows, French doors, and other specialty applications, TrackGlide™ provides smooth operation along with the light control, privacy, and insulating benefits of Duette® shades. Discover how the TrackGlide™ operating system works and where it can be used throughout your home.
