Duette® Honeycomb Shades as a Solo Window Treatment
At Smart PNW, we know that great window treatments are an essential part of an appealing room. Subpar window coverings-or worse, none at all-can make a space look unfinished and unlived in. Layering shades and curtains are nothing new in the design world, and it looks great. However, the wrong window treatment can quickly take your space from awesome to eyesore. With Duette® Honeycomb Shades, you’ll find a window shade that looks great all on its own or mixed and matched with others.
Duette® Honeycomb Shades
Honeycomb shades provide privacy, light control, and UV protection and have the highest insulation value of any residential window covering. Curtains and drapery serve roughly the same purpose as cellular shades, so pairing the two can provide even more insulation. If too much bulk at the window is your worry, these shades look great by themselves! Choose which option works for you.
Is Sun Protection Your Main Priority?
Cellular shades are the way to go if you want shades that provide exceptional protection from UV rays without being a room's focal point. These shades do their job so well they don’t need a secondary treatment-though one could definitely be added. Duette® Honeycomb Shades can also seamlessly coordinate with any decor style.
Nosy Neighbors?
Duette® Honeycomb Shades allow you to enjoy maximum privacy with light-filtering and room-darkening opacities. Side gaps and light leaks are a thing of the past with the LightLock™ system. Patent-pending side channels block or deflect nearly all incoming light. You can also partially or fully raise the shades to enjoy more natural light when privacy isn’t a concern. If your nosy neighbors are also the noisy type, you’ll also enjoy the sound absorption provided by honeycomb shades.
Love Carefree Maintenance?
Cellular shades are straightforward to care for. Hunter Douglas uses high-performance fabrics that maintain the crisp pleats of your shades. There’s no dressing required when you raise or lower them. To keep your shades looking brand new, you have to use a feather duster or soft cloth to remove dust as needed. You can also spot clean using warm water and a mild detergent. A set of curtains would only increase the time you spend cleaning.
They’re Happy in the Spotlight
Want to make a statement with your cellular shades? Duette Honeycomb Shades are available in a wide variety of fabrics, including selections from the exclusive Alustra® Collection of Duette®. The subtle metallic sheen incorporated into the premium Alustra® fabrics says “style” in a way no other material can. Add the luster of custom hardware, and you’ll have windows you won’t want to take your eyes off.
