Insulating Shades with Designer Styles

We want insulation and we want style. Are those two things mutually exclusive in window treatments? Not with Hunter Douglas. The wide array of window coverings and their innovative designs built for compatible performance allow homeowners to unify their need for insulation around the home with their desire for premium aesthetics. This harmony of features is achieved by combining insulating shades like cellular shades with drapery or side panels to create custom layered window fashions with a designer's feel. Insulated shades are elevated with the addition of accompanying layers made from designer fabrics. Their energy-efficient features are further strengthened through unison with other window coverings. Modern insulating shades can be elevated further with the latest in high-end features like motorization.

Best Insulating Shades

Hunter Douglas is a pioneer in insulating shades debuting their superior Duette® line of cellular honeycomb shades over 35 years ago. The unique cellular construction that Hunter Douglas developed for their honeycomb shades revolutionized window treatment efficiency by creating insulating air pockets that are part of the actual construction of the shade itself. By insulating windows, honeycomb shades improve energy efficiency by reducing energy loss and helping to maintain a regular indoor temperature for comfortable home environments that use less artificial heating and cooling. From their original honeycomb design, Hunter Douglas branched out to create several styles of modern insulating shades including roller shades and Roman shades with a hidden cellular construction. All 3 styles of insulating shade from Hunter Douglas also work with their PowerView® motorized operating system and can be styled with drapery or side panels for a chic layered window fashion.
