Honeycomb Shades
Hunter Douglas Honeycomb Shades
Uncovered windows account for heat gain in the summer and thermal heat loss in the winter. Air trapped inside the cells of cellular shades provides a natural barrier to the outside weather to help you to manage your energy costs and look good doing it. There are a lot of options in this category of window treatments. We’re happy to help you narrow down the options for your project.
Did you know that we Pacific Northwesterners utilize honeycomb shades more than anywhere else in the US? It’s true! We even use them for skylights. Their versatility, unobtrusive design, and small stacking profile get out of the way so we can enjoy our beautiful PNW views and enjoy the sun, or not… With the tightest fits amongst window covering shades, honeycomb shades are often a favorite choice for bedrooms where room darkening is important.
Honeycomb shades can also integrate into your home’s smart design via automation. It is a win-win, all the while allowing you to put your light exactly where you want it when you want it.
SIDELIGHTS
The small windows on one or both sides of your door are called sidelights, and they can be tricky to deal with as a homeowner. Here we see that the top down honeycomb shade provides privacy and lets light in at the same time.
DUETTE ARCHITELLAⓇ
This is the Hunter Douglas cell within a cell design found in the Duette ArchitellaⓇ line of Hunter Douglas’s honeycomb shade repertoire. Duette honeycomb shades are available in an incredibly wide range of fabrics, pleat sizes, opacities, and operating systems, and are even available in vertical applications.
Hunter Douglas’s Vertiglide TM is featured in the Verticals section of our webpage.
An often overlooked factor in room design is sound absorption. The Duette Honeycomb shades can reduce the intensity of outside sound, and improve the internal room acoustics. What does that mean? The echo noticeable in grand style rooms or rooms with mostly hard surfaces is softened, creating a more quiet, tranquil room, from both inside and outside sources.
The wide variety of options can be overwhelming, but no need to worry. We are happy to help you narrow down your choices to find the perfect solution for your windows.
DUOLITE
Another option for privacy is the Duolite feature. With a sheer fabric on the top and a light filtering fabric on the bottom your privacy is enhanced even more. We like the softening effect this has on light entering your living space as well.
