Applause® Duolite™ Honeycomb Shade

Applause® Duolite™ Honeycomb Shade

At Window Products in Connecticut, many of our customers find themselves in the dilemma of wanting to let light in during the day but wanting total darkness at night. Hunter Douglas, the leader in innovative window treatments, has the answer with their unique feature called Duolite™, which controls day and night levels by using two separate fabric panels to provide maximum light control. Or, more simply stated, Duolite™ is two shades in one.

Products With Duolite™

The Duolite™ light and privacy option is available on Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades, Duette® Architella® Honeycomb Shades, Alustra® Duette® Architella® Honeycomb Shades, Applause® Honeycomb Shades, and Pleated Shades. Honeycomb shades provide energy-efficiency properties—the honeycomb construction traps hot or cold air at the window, and they provide superb protection against harmful UV rays. Pleated shades offer modern colors and patterns that will add a lot of charm to any room. You could select a fun opaque fabric for night with a complementary sheer for during the day. [Read more…]

Pleated or Honeycomb Shades?

Honeycomb ShadesWe have many customers here in the Southbury area who ask about pleated shades. Designed to give homeowners a lighter option to draperies while maintaining the softness of a fabric window covering, pleated shades have been popular for years. In the early 1980s, “energy efficiency” became the new buzzword in the window treatment industry. Industry leaders such as Hunter Douglas took the idea of pleated shades and created the first Duette® honeycomb shade. With a similar look to pleated shades, the unique honeycomb construction offered built-in insulating factors to keep heat out in the summer and heat in during the winter. Stop by one of our showrooms in Southbury or Branford to see full size displays of our pleated or honeycomb shades. [Read more…]
