Duette® honeycomb blinds were born out of a need for smarter, more energy-efficient window coverings. In the early 1980s, skyrocketing energy costs prompted a new wave of home innovation. Traditional window treatments just weren’t up to the task — homeowners needed a solution that could deliver superior insulation without sacrificing style.
Introduced in 1985, the Duette® blind was the first shade of its kind, featuring a unique honeycomb construction that trapped air and created a layer of insulation at the window. This groundbreaking design not only helped maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round but also paved the way for a new era of energy-smart homes.
Over the decades, the Duette® blind has continually evolved. From introducing a wide range of fabrics and opacities to developing the Architella® range — an advanced cell-within-a-cell construction offering even greater energy efficiency — Duette® Shades have remained at the forefront of design, technology and sustainability.
In keeping with Luxaflex’s our commitment to a greener future, many Luxaflex® Duette® fabrics today are made with up to 90% recycled polyester.
This sustainable innovation appeals to a growing community of eco-conscious homeowners, without compromising the style and sophistication the Luxaflex brand is known for.
As we celebrate 40 years of Duette® excellence, we also look forward — pioneering eco-friendly practices that help protect our environment for generations to come.
