subject: Describing About How Duettes Became The Ultimate In Window Treatment Insulation. [print this page] It sounds like it has something to do with music, but its not. Duettes are another breakthrough in window treatment. Also called honeycomb shades and cellular shades, Duettes became the ultimate in window treatment that provides great insulation. They are as durable as they are beautiful, combining the luxury of soft fabric with remarkable strength and superior performance. Duettes are distinguished by a crisp, clean style. The honeycomb construction of these soft yet durable shades makes them highly efficient.
They consist of two or more sheets of accordion-pleated, reinforced fabric bonded together and joined at the pleats to form compartments that trap air. These compartments have an insulating effect, so they can help keep a home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Another benefit of this unique design is the compartments, combined with the opacity of the shade fabric, diffuse and soften sunlight as it passes through them, lending interiors a warm glow. The fabrics made to it are anti-static and dust-resistant therefore cleaning is a breeze.
There are a lot of honeycomb shades to choose from. They come in sheer, semi-sheer, semi-opaque, and opaque fabrics to give you your choice in light control; even available in single, double and triple honeycombs. The shades are available in fabrics and patterns ranging from sheer to opaque and offering 5 levels of privacy and light control. Level 1 reduces glare and provides no privacy, while level 5 blocks light and provides complete privacy. There are many fabric groups to choose from with shades as varied as soft neutral or deep jewel tones. The original Duette shades have options for 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" and 1 1/4" pleats in single, double and triple cell construction.
Duette shades can be mounted inside or outside window frame and can be fitted to almost any shape window, including bay windows and semi-circles. They can even be used on sliding glass doors with a vertical pleating option. To make Duettes easy to open and close, a variety of lifting mechanisms are available. For ultimate convenience, Duettes are available with battery powered or electrical-powered remote/switch operation. State of the art lifting systems are available for easier operation and enhanced child safety.
