When rebuilding or renovating in Louisville, Colorado, natural light, energy efficiency, and mountain views are priorities. Three Hunter Douglas window treatments frequently top design wish lists: Duette® Cellular Shades, Pirouette® Sheer Shades, and Silhouette® Sheer Shades. Here's why homeowners are loving them.
1. Duette® Cellular Shades – Energy & Comfort in One
As Hunter Douglas’s classic honeycomb shade, Duette® offers industry-leading insulation thanks to its unique cell structure, which traps air to keep out heat in summer and retain warmth in winter. With features like the Duolite® two-fabric system, Top‑Down/Bottom‑Up operation, and motorization via PowerView® or Ease®, they offer both energy savings and tailored light control.
In Louisville’s fluctuating climate and high-altitude sun, Duette® shades help maintain indoor comfort, reduce energy usage, and protect furnishings all while offering quiet and clean aesthetics. Their sound absorption and wide fabric selection add to their appeal.
2. Pirouette® Sheer Shades – Style Meets Precision
For homeowners who love a designer look with functional control, Pirouette® Sheer Shades offer crisp horizontal vanes mounted on a sheer backing. They beautifully balance light and privacy—and vanish into a sleek cassette for full views.
Pirouette® shades provide precision light filtering and can block up to 99% of UV rays when closed. They’re an elegant, modern choice—ideal for spaces with views of the Flatirons or downtown Louisville.
3. Silhouette® Sheer Shades – Diffused Light and Soft Ambience
If you envision refined, gentle lighting in your rebuilt home, Silhouette® Sheer Shades are a sophisticated match. Their S‑shaped vanes gently float between dual sheers, creating a soft glow while maintaining privacy and filtering harsh sunlight.
Their dual-layer construction enhances insulation and UV protection (up to 88%). With motorized options like SoftTouch® or PowerView®, they blend convenience with high-end design.
Drapery & Layering: The Finishing Touch
Many Louisville homeowners combine these shades with custom drapery for a layered, designer look that adds warmth, texture, and additional insulation. Drapes soften large windows and sliding doors, and they work seamlessly over these Hunter Douglas shades to maximize comfort and style.
- Duette® is ideal for energy-conscious homeowners wanting strong insulation and sound absorption in rebuilt spaces.
- Pirouette® offers refined control and a statement look for living rooms or formal areas.
- Silhouette® is perfect for bedrooms or casual living rooms where soft light and a soothing ambiance matter most.
Smart, Stylish, and Practical in Louisville
These shades strike a balance between smart-home readiness (motorization and voice control), energy-efficient window treatments, and modern curtain styles without compromising views or elegance. They enhance rebuilt Louisville homes by adding long-term comfort, design cohesion, and cutting-edge functionality.
