Dual Shades

When your home brings in natural light, it brightens the mood and enhances productivity. But what happens when the amount of light overwhelms you? Or, when you want to block it out completely? We call it the Duolite® feature, providing two window shades for the same window.

  • Two shades on ONE headrail
  • Full light filtering
  • Full room darkening
  • Or, a combination of both!

Double layer window shades offer the widest range of light control. When you want full light, the window can be clear and open. Then, in one setting, you’ll have soft, filtered, natural light. In another, room darkening bliss. You can also combine the two opacities for a little bit of both. How does this happen? That’s the magic of dual shades. Duolite® is available in a variety of formats, including solutions for dual roller shades, honeycomb shades, dual sheer shades, woven shades & more. Read more about the innovation of Duolite.

Dual Honeycomb Shades

It’s two shades on one window! One shade portion is light-filtering, while the other shade portion is meant to block the light. Joined together at the middle point, these dual cellular shades can be adjusted up or down, covering the entire window with one portion, the other portion, or a little of both. Light filtering can simply soften the light, or it can be entirely view-through. The room darkening portion can block the light, or just provide a darkened space. These Hunter Douglas dual shades are an incredible way to control the light while enjoying energy efficiency.

Secondary Blackout Roller Shades

The most common type of double layer window shades, enjoy two shades with two very different opacities. The front shade is designed for beautiful style and light-filtering. The second shade is most often a blackout roller shade, lowered into place for room darkening and complete privacy. With motorized dual shades, you can transform your Austin home in an instant. Experience this control with sheer shades, woven textures shades, solar and roller shades and the Vignette collection of roman shades.

Secondary Honeycomb Shades

It’s an amazing innovation for the Provenance collection of Woven Wood Shades. The softened light that filters through woven natural fibers can now be completely blocked when you need them to be. The hot temperatures here in Texas can be blocked, while you enjoy the gorgeous look of your woven wood shades. While the woven shade provides a stunning backdrop at the window, the honeycomb shade can drop into place, offering privacy, light and temperature control.
