For most homeowners, energy-efficiency is a big deal. Not only is it important to keep your home feeling comfortable, but saving money is essential to most household budgets. Especially in older homes, replacing windows with a more energy-efficient product is an obvious solution, but before you go that far, upgrading to energy-efficient shades might be the best way to go. We’ll explain.
Duette®
Hunter Douglas introduced the first energy-efficient window treatment in 1985 in response to the global energy crisis of the 1970s. This pioneering window treatment was the first generation of Duette® Honeycomb Shades. Also known as cellular shades, these shades are uniquely designed with small air pockets in a honeycomb pattern to trap air and insulate the interior of homes. This revolutionary design changed the way the world thought of window treatments.
Today, after undergoing several redesigns over the years, Duette® remains the gold standard when it comes to energy-efficient window coverings. This latest redesign of Duette® is a fashionable energy management solution that combines style with the latest innovations in energy-efficiency. Available in a wide spectrum of fabric, color and opacity options combined with the latest convenient operating systems like Vertiglide™ and Top Down/Bottom Up, and of course PowerView® Motorization, it’s easy to find the perfect Duette® Shade for your home.
Solera®
A contemporary combination of traditional roman shades and the energy-efficiency of honeycomb shades, Hunter Douglas presents Solera®. Solera® Soft Shades will give your home the insulating benefits of cellular shades with the designer look and customizable options available only with roman shades. With a wide array of fabric, color and opacity options, Solera® is an excellent choice for any room in your home. Also available with operating systems like Top Down/Bottom Up and PowerView® Motorization, Solera® Soft shades are convenient and easy to operate.
