These versatile window shades combine insulation, privacy, and light control with a clean design that complements almost any room.
Energy-Efficient Honeycomb Shades
The signature cellular construction of Duette® Honeycomb Shades creates insulating air pockets between the room and the window. This added barrier helps reduce heat transfer, keeping warm air inside during Nova Scotia winters and limiting unwanted heat gain during warmer months.
The cellular construction also helps absorb sound, which can soften outside noise and reduce echoes within the room. This added acoustic benefit can be especially valuable in bedrooms, home offices, media spaces, and homes near busy streets.
For Halifax homeowners, that means greater year-round comfort without sacrificing natural light or beautiful design. Explore how energy-efficient window treatments can help improve insulation throughout your home.

Explore Duette® Honeycomb Shade Features
Duette® Honeycomb Shades can be customized with innovative features that enhance light control, privacy, comfort, and everyday function. Explore specialty options designed to solve different needs throughout your home.
Dual Duette® Honeycomb Shades
Enjoy two levels of light control in one window treatment. Dual cellular shades combine two different Duette® fabrics in a single shade, allowing you to transition between light filtering and room darkening as your needs change throughout the day.
The two fabrics meet in the middle and adjust together, so you can position the shade to choose which fabric covers the window. It’s a versatile solution for bedrooms, living spaces, and other rooms where you want natural light at some times of day and greater privacy or room darkening at others.
LightLock® for Room Darkening
Create a darker, more comfortable space with LightLock® for Duette® Honeycomb Shades. Designed for enhanced room darkening, the system uses specially designed side channels to help prevent light from entering around the edges of the shade.
Paired with room-darkening Duette® fabrics, LightLock® provides greater control over incoming light, making it an ideal option for bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms, and other spaces where a darker environment is preferred.
ClearView® for Enhanced Views
Enjoy greater view-through while your Duette® Honeycomb Shades are lowered. ClearView® fabric is designed to preserve your connection to the outdoors while helping diffuse harsh sunlight and protect interiors from damaging UV rays.
It’s an ideal choice for rooms where the view is part of the design, especially when covering expansive glass. For Halifax homes overlooking the water, landscape, or surrounding scenery, ClearView® offers a beautiful option for large windows where maintaining the view is a priority.
TrackGlide™ for Doors & Specialty Windows
Designed exclusively for Duette® Honeycomb Shades, TrackGlide™ uses narrow side tracks to keep the shade securely positioned against the glass as the window or door moves. This innovative system makes Duette® Shades an ideal option for French doors and other glass doors where a traditional free-hanging shade may not be practical.
TrackGlide™ can also provide light control and privacy for challenging applications such as narrow, shallow, and tilt-turn windows. The system attaches without drilling into the window frame, creating a streamlined solution while allowing the window or door to remain functional.
Duette® Vertiglide™ for Wide Windows & Sliding Doors
Bring the insulating cellular design of Duette® Honeycomb Shades to wide windows and sliding glass doors with Duette® Vertiglide™. Instead of raising and lowering, the cellular shade travels side-to-side, making it easy to access the door or open the shade to enjoy the view.
Vertiglide™ offers the clean appearance and energy-efficient construction of Duette® in a vertical format designed for expansive openings. Coordinate Vertiglide™ with horizontal Duette® Shades to carry the same fabric and design throughout a room.
