Types of Window Shades That Insulate Your Space
Hunter Douglas window treatments are stunning to look at and have qualities that make them functional and durable. The Covered Creations design team is excited to discuss this respected brand’s cellular shades, which go above and beyond to provide insulation to homes and save you and your family money on each energy bill—while adding light control and style to your home.
Energy Efficiency Meets Versatility with Cellular Shades
Duette® Cellular Shades are the classic cellular shade that provides insulation without compromising style. These were the first honeycomb shades on the market, designed to insulate windows and lower energy costs.
Hunter Douglas offers them in single- or double-cell designs and in an unmatched range of fabrics, including sheer, semi-opaque, and opaque options. That variety makes it easy to match any decor scheme, control the light entering your space, and protect privacy.
This type of window shade is also known for its ability to fit unusual window shapes, like arches and skylights. Duette® Cellular Shades come in horizontal and vertical applications; we also customize them for sliding doors;
These options are available with Duette® Cellular Shades:
- Duette® Architella® Cellular Shades: A honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design for more energy efficiency.
- The Alustra Collection® of Duette®: Exclusive, design-inspired fabrics made of natural fibers.
- LightLock™: A side channel design that absorbs or deflects nearly all incoming light.
- Duolite®: Combines two fabric panels, one light-filtering and the other room-darkening, into a single shade.
Hunter
Douglas Roller Shades with Hidden Potential
Sonnette® Roller Shades bring an innovative perspective to traditional roller and cellular shades: They combine the simple control of classic roller shades with an energy-efficient upgrade: honeycomb shaped cells that fit seamlessly into the design. Their dual-layer construction creates air pockets that reduce heat gain and heat loss to insulate windows and regulate room temperature.
Available in over 50 fabrics, Sonnette® Roller Shades diffuse light; their gentle curves add a dimensional beauty to your windows. Order them in various fabric opacities for different privacy and light control levels. They’re also an elegant way to reduce glare without completely blocking natural light.
Sonnette® Roller Shades offer these features:
- Front-rolling fabric: For clearing handles and window cranks.
- Kickback™ feature: When the shade is fully lowered, the top fabric at the headrail kicks back, moving the fabric closer to the window.
Which Type of Window Shade Should You Choose?
Hunter Douglas Sonnette® Roller Shades and Duette® Cellular Shades are two excellent options that combine beauty and utility, but the right choice depends on your needs. Sonnette® Roller Shades are streamlined and modern, and Duette® Cellular Shades might be better if you need maximum insulation or unique window solutions. Both look great in your home and provide energy efficiency and enhanced comfort year-round.
