Keep cool this summer with stylish honeycomb blinds

Updated honeycomb design from Hunter Douglas keeps in even more cooled air

Honeycomb shade design, introduced over 30 years ago, is already a proven room insulator. The basic concept behind honeycomb shade construction is that by trapping air within a “cell,” the shade traps air and creates a barrier between the window surface and the room. The resulting “draft blocker” increases the comfort level in a room, whether it’s winter or summer.

Newer-design honeycomb shades create even more insulating power by inserting a cell-within-a cell. Shades with as many as three to five pockets of air reduce energy loss through a window by up to 40 to 50 percent. The resulting energy efficiency keeps out heat in the summer (and holds in heat in winter) and also blocks or filters light for a soothing, room darkening effect.

The only honeycomb fabrics on the market that feature this patented cell-within-a cell construction are the Duette Architella® and Architella Trielle™ from Hunter Douglas. Along with helping to reduce energy consumption, these updated honeycomb fabrics are GREENGUARD GOLD certified so they contribute to healthier indoor air quality.

The line also features 13 fabric styles, 200 colors, and a variety of privacy and light control options. For easier cleaning, fabrics are anti-static and dust- and soil-resistant. Child- and pet-safe operating systems are available to eliminate cords. Manufactured in the U.S., Duette Architella honeycomb shades can be custom fit to cover almost any window, and carry a lifetime guarantee.
