Today’s Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb Shade
Honeycomb shades (also called cellular blinds or shades) are one of the more popular window treatments used today in residential homes and businesses. With their honeycomb design, they offer great energy efficiency as well as sleek beauty. We invite you to visit our Window Products showroom in Branford to see and operate the new and improved Duette® Honeycomb Shade by Hunter Douglas.
Updates to Duette Honeycomb Shades
This year, Hunter Douglas has updated their Duette® honeycomb shade with a new headrail profile and finish, new hardware, and new fabrics. These updates give you a streamlined, clean appearance, with enhanced child and pet safety.
- NEW Seamless Duolite™ Design – Duolite features two different fabrics for your single window opening. The top fabric panel will be sheer fabric that is fused together with a bottom fabric panel. The bottom panel may be semi-sheer, semi-opaque or opaque fabric. The Duolite feature offers a multitude of ways for you to manage your light and privacy needs
- NEW Fabrics and Colors – The Duette honeycomb shade line has a total of 39 fabrics with over 420 colors. The new fabrics include Northwood, which has a rustic charm and clean, modern lines; Alexa, which has an organic feel; and a new exclusive Alustra® Duette® Architella® fabric called Jardin, which is created from textured yarns for that casual-chic look.
- NEW Vertiglide™ Honeycomb Shade With PowerView™ – Vertiglide shades can be operated from side to side instead of up and down. They are ideal for glass sliding doors and large openings. New this year is the addition of PowerView Motorization. You can now use smart home technology to program or automatically adjust your Vertiglide with your remote or smart device.
- NEW Honeycomb Shaped Headrail – The new headrail now reflects the honeycomb fabric shape, which allows the eye to follow the honeycomb design from the top of the shade to the bottom. Rails are textured and matte-finished and will color-coordinate with the shade fabric.

How to Select Honeycomb Shades
Benefits of Honeycomb Shades
While there are many great styles and features of window treatments out there, here at Window Products in Connecticut, we often get questions about honeycomb shades and whether (and why) we recommend them. We’re here to tell you that honeycomb shades offer a variety of benefits. Read on to discover more! [Read more…]
Dual-Function: Window Treatment or Room Divider
Sliding panels, also known as sliding screens, gliding window panels, or panel track blinds, were created to cover patio doors and large windows. Because each panel glides fluidly on its own track, it didn’t take long for people to realize that they were more than just a great window treatment option. We now see sliding panels being used as a creative room divider or closet-door replacement. As your local Hunter Douglas dealer serving Connecticut, at Window Products, we carry the innovative Skyline® Gliding Window Panels and Duette® Honeycomb with Vertiglide™ honeycomb shade that both work very well in this non-traditional way.
Vertical Honeycomb Shades
Honeycomb shades entered the market in the 80s to replace the mini-blind. At first only a horizontal window covering, honeycomb shades didn’t immediately offer a solution for large windows or patio doors. Then people with honeycomb shades on their windows starting asking for a complementary look for their larger windows and doors, so Hunter Douglas created a vertical option. [Read more…]
