How Duette® Cellular Shades Improve Energy Efficiency at Your Windows
Whether your home is too hot in the summer or too chilly in the winter, adding insulation helps. You can upgrade to double or triple-pane windows, add weatherstripping around frames, apply window film, and caulk gaps and cracks.
But why not invest in a solution that insulates, controls light and privacy, and adds beauty to your home? Laura's Draperies, Bedspreads, and More partners with Hunter Douglas and retails Duette® Cellular Shades, the ideal solution. This design was the first honeycomb shade introduced to homeowners; it’s still the best one on the market.
How Hunter Douglas Cellular Shades Create Superior Insulation
The honeycomb design of Duette® Cellular Shades for windows creates pockets of trapped air that form insulation barriers. We compare it to a down jacket that keeps you warm, since it creates multiple layers of still air that resist temperature transfer.
This window treatment maintains your desired indoor climate and reduces the workload on your heating and cooling systems. During hot summer days, this insulation prevents outside heat from coming indoors, keeping your air conditioning from working overtime. In winter, Duette® Cellular Shades retain warm indoor air, reducing heat loss through glass surfaces.
How Energy Savings Make Financial Sense
Cellular shades for windows can lower your monthly utility bills. Studies have shown that properly installed window treatments can reduce energy consumption by up to 25% during peak heating and cooling seasons. That translates to meaningful savings accumulating over time, making your investment financially sound.
P.S.: Your purchase can also earn a Federal Tax Credit of up to $1,200 on select styles; we’re happy to explain the details.
Duette® Cellular Shades Offer Other Perks
Hunter Douglas cellular shades come in different opacity levels, from sheer fabrics that gently filter sunlight to darker options that promote better sleep. The pleated design creates clean lines that complement traditional and modern interior design styles.
These shades come in horizontal and vertical orientations and an impressive selection of heights and widths. We customize them for hard-to-fit applications like skylights and glass patio doors. With 150+ fabric/color choices, finding fabrics that suit your decor is easy.
