Find the Pinnacle of Control with Blackout Cellular Shades
Duette® Cellular Shades are the classic honeycomb shade designed by Hunter Douglas for year-round insulation. Their inner cellular construction helps to organically regulate internal home temperatures by reducing unwanted energy exchange between the inside and the outside world, and their design also makes them great at sound absorption for quieter home environments. And while Duette Cellular Shades offer a substantial array of environmental control attributes for homeowners, there are additional ways to elevate their light control abilities to create blackout cellular shades with unmatched command over the internal home atmosphere. Learn more about upgrades for cellular shades with our team of design experts at Little's Custom Blinds & Shutters as they share their list of the five best ways to elevate the light control abilities of your new cellular shades.
5 Ways to Upgrade Your Cellular Shades for Better Light Control
1. Top-Down/Bottom-Up
Duette® Cellular Shades are available with the innovative Top-Down/Bottom-Up operating system created by Hunter Douglas. As the name implies, this control system allows you to open your window treatments from the bottom up, like traditional shades, or the top down, giving you even greater flexibility when it comes to your window design.
2. PowerView® Automation
Motorization is a powerful upgrade for cellular shades because of the convenience it offers homeowners and the precision it brings to the shade's overall performance. PowerView® allows homeowners to open or close their shades using a remote and offers custom scenes for automated usage through the PowerView® app that optimizes light control and ensures shades are automatically drawn as appropriate for individual household routines.
3. LightLock® Cellular Shades
For blackout cellular shades, consider the light-blocking power of the LightLock® system by Hunter Douglas. Using a set of u-shaped sidetracks, the LightLock® system deflects sunlight trying to sneak around the edges of a traditional cellular shade. This results in substantially less light entering a room, elevating basic cellular shades into blackout cellular shades.
4. Multi-Tiered Window Fashions
Creating a layered window fashion with cellular shades and custom drapery is another way to elevate light control in a room. Each layer of a multi-tiered design adds another level of light control for better room-darkening abilities. Plus, by using the drapery as the top layer, homeowners enjoy an expanded ability to customize different looks for window fashion to suit existing interior design styles.
5. Options for Doors and Windows
To create blackout interiors throughout your home, it's essential to dress all windows and doors with glass features like French or sliding glass doors. Happily, with cellular shades, homeowners can customize treatments for doors or windows in their home as Hunter Douglas cellular shades have operating systems to suit a range of custom shapes, including:
- Vertiglide™ system for cordless door coverings
- SkyLift™ system for skylight coverage
- TrackGlide™ system for tilt-turn windows
