HUNTER DOUGLAS Hunter Douglas introduces the NEW Duette Architella Collection, an evolution in honeycomb shades! The unique honeycomb within a honeycomb construction provides deep, luminous color, true opaque appearance, improved pleat retention, softer touch and higher R-Values (up to 38% greater than comparable pleats!) – a truly distinctive option over any other shade in the market.
The introduction of the Duette honeycomb shade by Hunter Douglas in 1985 created the first new category in the window fashions industry in decades, offering optimum energy efficiency, light control and style possibilities. The luxurious and soft, yet durable fabrics of Hunter Douglas Duette shades are available in several honeycomb pleat sizes, a wide range of colors and textures, and fabrics with opacities that range from sheer to opaque. Innovative hardware systems enable Hunter Douglas Duette shades to cover any window, regardless of shape, size or location. With eight pleat size and construction options in the Duette line, there is a solution for every window. For a refined, timeless design, the 3/8" pleat size is ideal. For a versatile look on any window, there is the 3/4" pleat size. Consider the 1¼" pleat size for a dramatic appearance on a grand scale. Double and triple honeycomb Hunter Douglas Duette shades are also available for added energy efficiency and color intensity. Duette's 25th Anniversary 2010 marked the 25th anniversary of Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb shades, an integral part of the Hunter Douglas success story.

Hunter Douglas Duette - Keeping it Simple, Making it Beautiful Hunter Douglas, the originator of the honeycomb shade, has created a simply beautiful collection of window coverings. Duette shades offer a full spectrum of benefits, including the best pleat retention, light control and privacy options, energy efficiency and easy maintenance. In 1985, a whole new world of decorating possibilities was set motion with the creation of the original Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb shade. Its bountiful palette of hues places you at the summit of quality. You're sure to find the color you need. Complete decorating freedom and flexibility are at your fingertips with Hunter Douglas Duette fabrics. Including such choices as Opaque fabric which blocks 99% of outside light. Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb shades are beautiful, yet practical, with no visible cords, holes or seams. They are designed to present value, for a sensible and stylish decorating alternative. Colors are timeless, ranging from neutral cream and white, to muted blue and warm gold, all with a neutral white back for a uniform exterior look. The versatility of scale provided by different pleat sizes gives you decorating options unparalleled by other shade manufacturers. For added beauty and a look of tailored precision, the majority of Duette honeycomb shades are made with TruePleat™ construction, a proprietary Hunter Douglas process that ensures crisp pleats year after year. Select your fabrics from any of the sheer, semi-sheer, semi-opaque and opaque options in the Hunter Douglas Duette Collection. Featured in this photograph is the Hunter Douglas Duette Duolite® honeycomb shade that provides complete privacy or a soft focused view. It's two beautiful window shades in one. Typically sheer or semi-sheer fabric is used for the top panel, and opaque or semi-opaque fabric is used for the bottom panel, with both center and bottom moving rails to provide light control and versatility. Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb shades are energy efficient, easy to maintain, and simple to install and operate. Their innovative honeycomb construction helps keep heat in during cold winter months and hot air out during Summer months. A beautiful look combines with lasting strength, durability, and superior performance. Hunter Douglas Duette Triple Honeycomb fabric provides more insulation against winter cold than any other honeycomb fabric on the market. The air in its three layers of cells acts as a barrier against temperature flow. The barrier also works well to protect against the heat. The product carries an R-value of 4.8. When compared with the R-value of an uncovered window, 1.75, it's easy to see why it's now more important than ever to cover your windows with products that work efficiently and look beautiful in your home.

Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb Shades Product Specifications
Hunter Douglas Duette Fabric Collection Duette honeycomb shades are available in colors ranging from soft neutrals to elegant jewel tones, in a palette that reflects current color trends, including the return to blue, and green with more of a yellow undertone. We also have more fabrics available in the red family than ever before. The Hunter Douglas Duette fabric collection includes:
Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb Shades Provide Optimal Light Control Whether you want complete privacy or sunlight filtered through a beautiful sheer fabric, you'll find fabric options ideally suited to your light control needs. Hunter Douglas Duette shades provide a variety of light control and privacy options. Translucent fabrics allow you to enjoy the light, while preserving privacy. For maximum light control, the blackout fabric blocks 99% of the light and assures absolute privacy.
Breezy Cleaning Care and Cleaning: Durability is a hallmark of Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb shades. The strong, anti-static fabrics repel dust and dirt. Consequently, they require little cleaning and maintenance. Regular dusting with a feather duster is all that's necessary in most circumstances. For a more thorough cleaning, the fabric can be lightly vacuumed with a brush attachment. Sponge or Spot Cleaning: When needed, all Duette fabrics can be cleaned by gently blotting with a soft, damp cloth or sponge, using lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to the fabric. Take special care when cleaning blackout fabrics to avoid creasing. Basin or Bathtub Cleaning: For Duette Semi-Opaque 3/8”, 3/4”, Double and Triple Honeycomb on Standard or EasyRise headrails only. Do not immerse any other headrails. To clean the entire shade, immerse the assembly in lukewarm water with a mild detergent and move it around lightly with your fingers. Wash for about five minutes, then rinse with clean water. Close the shade before removing it from the rinse water. Holding the rails, tilt the shade to allow excess water to escape. Re-install the damp shade back into the window opening and lower the shade all the way to allow it to dry completely. Important Cautions: Do not immerse Duette blackout fabrics. Do not immerse any Duette battery powered or motorized headrails. Ultrasonic Cleaning: Professional ultrasonic cleaning is generally a very safe and effective method for comprehensively cleaning a Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb shade. However, the shade should be handled carefully and only mild cleansing solutions should be used. In addition, the fabric should be in a stacked or closed position when being removed from the tank so that water cannot become trapped in the honeycombs. Important Cautions: Do not ultrasonically clean Duette blackout fabrics. Do not ultrasonically clean Duette EasyRise shades. The On-Site™ Injection/Extraction Cleaning Process can be used on these (and all other) Duette fabrics. Duette Honeycomb Shades From Hunter Douglas Absorb Sound Duette honeycomb shades feature a unique honeycomb construction that "traps" air for superior energy efficiency and provides softly diffused light that cuts the glare and heat. Duette honeycomb shades also are highly sound absorptive. The fabric style showcased on the sliding doors above is the Majestic semi-opaque fabric in the 1¼" honeycomb pleat which absorbs 60 percent of reflected sound. Also shown, the Vertiglide hardware system which allows the honeycomb fabric to be oriented vertically with the shade operating sideways. Offering heights up to 120-inches and no bottom rail, Duette with Vertiglide is ideal for covering windows of this type and stacks back to a mere six inches. Hunter Douglas Duette: Simple and Beautiful for Life Backing each Duette honeycomb shade is the Hunter Douglas lifetime limited warranty. In simplest terms, Duette shades are guaranteed for as long as they cover your window. Hunter Douglas not only originated the honeycomb shade, they were the first to provide a lifetime limited warranty for its honeycomb shades. Duette shades and their owners benefit from this history of innovation and superior quality.

This comes in semi-opaque and opaque fabrics in ¾” and 1¼” pleat sizes in 12 fashionable colors. Six of 12 Duette Architella Classic colors have a natural street-side option. While the white street-side color reflects sunlight and increases summertime energy efficiency, the new natural color option blends with the home’s exterior and meets the requirements of some homeowners associations.
