your chosen Duette® fabrics. We match these for you, but you can

uniform backing for your Duette® Shades (regardless of their interior
colour) with our Duette® Duo Tone style. Or if you want to be bolder
with your exterior view, then choose Duette® Full Tone, where the
same colour hue features both back and front of the blind.

Feels goodEnergy efficiency has always been core to Duette® Shades success, and we are
proud to say our latest range has an even better level of insulation, with some
fabrics in the range achieving an outstanding A++ rating. Even with double
glazing, a building can lose up to 50% of its heat through windows and doors.
By choosing Duette® Shades you can insulate your home all year round and
keep warmer in winter and cooler in the summer.
Our most energy efficient designDuette® Architella® Shades, are constructed with a unique cell-in-cell
design, that can reduce the thermal gain from the sun into a room,
reducing the need for artificial cooling and reduce energy usage and
emissions. As the temperature drops, the honeycomb effect keeps the
warmth in the room, reducing heating costs by up to 46%; better for
the pocket and the planet. Our Duette® Architella® Shades are
available in both 32mm and 64mm sizes.

...Sounds goodA successful room design can soothe the senses in invisible ways.
Windows and hard floors can make a room seem cold or noisy,
as sound bounces off the hard surfaces. Duette® Shades can help
keep internal noise at bay and reduce the effect of ambient noise
from hard surfaces within the home by up to 60%.
...Does goodDuette® Shades help make homes more energy efficient but we
also want our products to make you feel comfortable and give
you peace of mind. That’s why we’re committed to designing
products with sustainable methods and materials. Our new
Duette® Eternity fabrics are made with 40% recycled polyester
material, and our new Bamboo fabric range incorporates 25%
natural bamboo fibres from sustainable plantations.
