Living in Daphne means enjoying sunny skies, warm Gulf Coast temperatures, and Southern charm year-round. But it also means managing heat, humidity, and strong sunlight in your home. That’s where Hunter Douglas Duette™ Honeycomb Shades come in—offering the perfect balance of style, comfort, and energy efficiency tailored to life in Daphne.
Year-Round Comfort & Energy Savings
Duette™ shades feature a unique cellular (honeycomb) structure that traps air at the window, creating an insulating barrier. This helps keep your home cooler in Daphne’s hot summers and more comfortable during cooler months—leading to noticeable energy savings on your utility bills. For even better performance, Architella® and Trielle™ double-cell designs offer up to 40% more insulation.
Custom Light Control & Room Darkening Options
Whether you’re brightening your breakfast nook or creating a dark, cool bedroom retreat, Duette™ shades have the perfect light-filtering or blackout solution. Choose from:
- LightLock™ for complete darkness (ideal for bedrooms and media rooms)
- Duolite® for two-in-one sheer and blackout coverage
- Top-Down/Bottom-Up for flexible privacy and sky views
These features are perfect for Daphne’s bright, sun-drenched days.
Peace & Quiet with Noise Reduction
The same honeycomb structure that insulates also reduces outside noise by up to 70%—great for homes near busy streets or bustling neighborhoods. Create a quieter, more peaceful environment to relax or work from home.
Designed for Southern Style
With over 150 designer fabrics, textures, and colors—including recycled and sustainable materials—Duette™ shades blend beautifully into coastal, farmhouse, or classic Southern interiors. They can be custom-fit to nearly any window shape, including French doors, arches, and skylights, common in Daphne’s architectural styles.
Cordless, Motorized & Smart Home–Ready
Duette™ shades are available with child- and pet-safe cordless systems like LiteRise®, EasyRise™, and UltraGlide®. For ultimate convenience, opt for PowerView® Automation, allowing you to control or schedule your shades with an app, remote, or voice assistant. You can even choose solar-powered operation for an eco-friendly upgrade.
Built to Last, Easy to Maintain
With fade-resistant fabrics and crisp, long-lasting pleats, Duette™ shades are designed for everyday durability. They’re low-maintenance too—a quick dusting is all it takes to keep them looking fresh.
Award-Winning Performance & Tax Benefits
