As February comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to think about upgrading your home to be more cozy, stylish, and energy-efficient. With Hunter Douglas Duette®, Silhouette®, and Pirouette® Window Shadings, you can achieve all three effortlessly. Each shade offers unique benefits that cater to different needs while enhancing the overall comfort and design of your space. Whether you’re looking to cut energy costs, diffuse natural light, or make a bold style statement, this guide will help you find the perfect solution.

And with the Celebration of Light Savings Event for Silhouette® & Pirouette® running through March 31, 2025 as well as the Winter Comfort Savings Event for Duette® through February 28, 2025 now is the ideal time to invest in these premium window treatments and transform your home.

Key Features of Hunter Douglas Shades

1. Duette® Honeycomb Shades: Energy Efficiency, Light Control & Comfort

Windows account for up to 30% of a home’s energy loss, which can drive up heating and cooling costs year-round. Duette® Honeycomb Shades combat this issue with their unique honeycomb structure, which traps air to create an insulating barrier at your windows. This design reduces heat loss in winter and minimizes heat gain in summer, keeping your home comfortable while lowering energy bills.

Light Control & Room Darkening Capabilities

Duette shades don’t just insulate—they also provide exceptional light control options, making them perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms. For those who need total darkness, Duette® LightLock™ technology is a game-changer. The LightLock™ side channel system blocks nearly 100% of incoming light, ensuring you can enjoy restful sleep or glare-free movie nights.

Whether you want soft, natural light or complete blackout capabilities, Duette® Honeycomb Shades offer the flexibility you need. And with their wide range of fabric options, colors, and opacity levels, you can customize their appearance to complement your home’s decor.

2. Silhouette® Window Shadings: Light Diffusion, UV Protection & DuoLite System

One of the biggest challenges during winter is dealing with harsh, low-angle sunlight. Silhouette® Window Shadings are designed to solve this issue by using their floating fabric vanes, which are suspended between two sheer layers to create a soft, diffused glow. This eliminates glare while still allowing natural light to brighten your home, making them ideal for living rooms, offices, and dining areas.

UV Protection for Your Interiors

Natural light is beautiful, but it can also cause fading and damage to furniture, flooring, and artwork. Silhouette® Window Shadings block up to 88% of harmful UV rays, helping preserve the integrity of your home’s interior while still letting in beautiful daylight.

DuoLite®: The Best of Both Worlds

If you love natural light but also need privacy or room-darkening capabilities, Silhouette® DuoLite® is the perfect solution. This innovative system combines a light-filtering Silhouette shade with a room-darkening roller shade in one integrated design. During the day, enjoy soft, diffused light, and in the evening, lower the roller shade for enhanced privacy and reduced light levels.

With DuoLite®, you no longer have to choose between brightness and darkness—you get both in a single, seamless window treatment.

3. Pirouette® Window Shadings: Bold Textures, Precise Light Control & DuoLite

For those who want a window treatment that makes a statement, Pirouette® Window Shadings deliver bold design and superior functionality. The soft fabric vanes appear to float over a sheer backing, creating a dimensional, sculptural look that enhances any room.

Dynamic Light Control for Any Setting

Pirouette shades offer precise light control, allowing you to adjust the vanes to achieve your desired level of brightness or privacy. When fully open, they provide clear, unobstructed views. When partially tilted, they diffuse harsh sunlight for a soft, inviting glow. And when closed, they offer complete privacy while maintaining their stylish aesthetic.

DuoLite®: A Dual-Shade Solution for Ultimate Flexibility

Like Silhouette®, Pirouette® Window Shadings also come with the DuoLite® system, which lets you combine a sheer shade with a room-darkening roller shade. This means you can enjoy a softly lit ambiance during the day and block out external light completely at night—ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, and spaces where both natural light and privacy are important.

With a wide range of fabrics, textures, and bold color choices, Pirouette shades can be customized to match any design style, from modern minimalism to classic elegance.

Smart Convenience with PowerView® Automation
