Energy Chic Shades

Our energy chic shade is the latest innovation from Hunter Douglas. The energy chic shade is the Duette Architella honeycomb shade. Offering the best in energy efficiency, greater sound absorption and a radiant color palette, Duette Architella is the next generation of honeycomb shades. This shade is actually a honeycomb shade inside a honeycomb shade. The construction creates three distinct air pockets and traps more insulating air than any other shade. While providing you with great energy savings, the Duette Architella shade is also very fashionable. With a large color palette there is a color to fit any room. Plus, some colors are available to have the street side color be the same as the inside color (no more boring white from the outside of your home)!
