Key Features and Benefits of Duette® Shades
Superior Insulation and Energy Efficiency
The honeycomb air-pocket structure reduces heat transfer through the window. Duette® Architella® models, with three insulating air pockets, improve this further and are GREENGUARD-certified for low chemical emissions. In Singapore’s tropical climate, insulated shades can noticeably reduce air-conditioning costs over the course of a year.
Solar Heat Control
Duette® shades regulate solar heat gain – the main reason Singapore rooms overheat in the afternoon. The Duolite® option combines a sheer front and a blackout back in a single shade, so you can diffuse morning light and block harsh afternoon sun with one product.
Diffused Daylight with No Glare
The fabric softens and spreads incoming sunlight, eliminating the harsh light bars that bounce off traditional slat blinds. This makes Duette® particularly suitable for home offices, study rooms, and rooms with screens.

Yes. The honeycomb structure creates an insulating air barrier between the window and the room, reducing solar heat gain in Singapore’s tropical climate. Architella® models with two air pockets offer the highest energy savings. Exact savings depend on window orientation, glass type, and air-conditioning usage patterns.
Yes. Any Duette® shade can be fitted with PowerView® Gen 3 Automation, Hunter Douglas’s latest motorisation system. This allows control via the PowerView® app, Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or the Pebble remote.
Yes. Duette® fabrics are heat-pressed and treated to hold their pleats permanently, with anti-static and soil-resistant properties. They do not sag or warp in Singapore’s humidity, and have been used in Singapore homes for decades.
Duette® shades are cellular (honeycomb) shades designed for thermal insulation and diffused light. Silhouette® shades feature fabric vanes suspended between two sheer panels, designed for view-through and precise light tilting. Duette® is better for energy efficiency and full blackout; Silhouette® is better for living rooms with a view.
