Why Choose Duette® Cellular Shades?
Energy Efficiency: The honeycomb-shaped cells trap air at the window, creating an insulating layer between the room and the glass. This innovative cellular design helps reduce heat transfer for greater year-round comfort and improved energy efficiency.
Light Control: Duette® fabrics range from sheer and light-filtering to room-darkening, making it easy to customize how natural light enters each room. Specialty options offer even more control when you want filtered light during the day and greater darkness at night.
Privacy: Enjoy natural light while maintaining the level of privacy your space needs. A variety of fabric opacities and operating options allow Duette® shades to balance privacy, daylight and your view.
Sound Absorption: The cellular construction of Duette® shades can also help absorb sound, creating a quieter, more comfortable atmosphere inside your home.
Design Flexibility: Choose from an extensive collection of colors, textures, pleat sizes and fabrics to complement your home’s interior. The clean, streamlined look of Duette® cellular shades works beautifully in everything from modern spaces to more traditional Austin homes.

Customize Duette® Honeycomb Shades for the way you use each room. Explore innovative options for light control, room darkening, privacy, specialty windows and preserving your view.
Flexible Light Control
With Duolite®, two fabrics work together on a single Duette® shade for flexible light control throughout the day. Enjoy softly filtered natural light and privacy with the light-filtering fabric, then adjust the room-darkening fabric into place when you want greater privacy and light control.
This dual-shade design is ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, media spaces and other rooms where your lighting needs change from day to night—all without installing two separate window treatments.
Duette® also offers top-down/bottom-up shades for even more control over light and privacy. Lower the shade from the top to bring natural light into the room while keeping the lower portion of the window covered for privacy.
TrackGlide™ for Tilt & Turn Windows
TrackGlide™ makes it possible to enjoy Duette® Honeycomb Shades on windows and doors where a traditional shade can be difficult to install or operate. The innovative system uses tracks along the sides of the window to keep the shade aligned with the glass as the window or door moves.
Designed to attach without drilling into the window frame, TrackGlide™ is an ideal solution for tilt & turn windows, French doors and other challenging applications. The shade stays securely in place while providing the light control, privacy and insulating benefits of Duette® cellular shades.
LightLock® for Room Darkening
For bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms where darkness matters, Duette® Honeycomb Shades can be paired with LightLock® for enhanced room darkening. While room-darkening fabric blocks light through the shade, light can still enter around the edges of many window treatments. LightLock® is designed to help address those gaps.
U-shaped side channels fit along the window frame and capture the edges of the Duette® shade when it closes, helping prevent outside light from entering around the sides. The result is a darker, more comfortable space with the insulating benefits of Duette® cellular shades.
ClearView® for an Enhanced View
Want the insulating benefits of Duette® Honeycomb Shades while preserving more of your view? ClearView® sheers offer enhanced view-through while softly filtering incoming natural light.
ClearView® helps you enjoy more of the landscape outside while maintaining the energy-efficient cellular design that makes Duette® shades so popular. It’s an appealing option for living rooms and other spaces where natural light and the view are an important part of the room.
Duette® Shades for Every Window

Duette® Honeycomb Shades FAQs
What is the difference between honeycomb and cellular shades?
Honeycomb shades and cellular shades are two names for the same style of window treatment. The fabric is constructed with cells that form air pockets at the window, creating the distinctive honeycomb shape. Duette® Honeycomb Shades are Hunter Douglas cellular shades designed to provide insulation, light control and privacy while offering a wide range of fabrics and operating options.
Are Duette® Honeycomb Shades energy efficient?
Yes. Duette® Honeycomb Shades are designed with a cellular structure that traps air at the window, creating an insulating layer between the glass and your living space. This helps reduce heat transfer and can make rooms feel more comfortable throughout the year. For homeowners looking for energy-efficient window treatments, Duette® cellular shades offer a combination of insulation, light control and style.
Can Duette® shades provide both privacy and natural light?
Yes. Duette® shades are available in a range of fabric opacities, allowing you to balance privacy with filtered natural light. You can also choose top-down/bottom-up shades, which let you lower the shade from the top while keeping the lower portion of the window covered. This is especially useful when you want daylight and privacy at the same time.
Can Duette® shades make a room darker?
Yes. Duette® Honeycomb Shades are available with room-darkening fabrics for bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms and other spaces where greater light control is important. For enhanced room darkening, Duette® shades can also be paired with LightLock®, which uses side channels to help reduce light gaps around the edges of the shade.

Can Duette® Honeycomb Shades be motorized?
