Finding a home that invites plenty of natural light inside is a great way to make your experience indoors better. After all, while we’re spending more time indoors, we might as well let some of the outdoors inside. However, if you have a home with skylights or windows that are generally out of reach, you will inevitably find yourself wanting some coverage. Thankfully, your wish can easily be granted by installing custom skylight shades from Hunter Douglas.
Duette® Honeycomb Shades
Hunter Douglas has always been about innovation in style along with home improvement. This desire for innovative style led to the invention of Duette® honeycomb shades. The way these shades work is quite simple, yet very effective. Each shade extends and compresses kind of like an accordion, making for a pleasantly smooth adjustment process when you raise and lower your shades.
And when unfold your energy-efficient shades, you’ll find a series of hexagonal cells that will insulate your windows and lower your energy bills during every season. But that’s just the beginning of what makes these shades so special. The simple design allows for flexible customization, both in terms of style and helpful applications.
For example, you can add a second layer of insulation inside these shades for extra energy-savings with the Duette Architella® Shades. And if you want a seamless transition between two opacities, the Duolite® system will let you move the headrail one way for opaque shades and the other way to reveal a light-filtering shade. But what really separates these shades from other styles is the fact that you can install them on any window in your home thanks to the SkyLift™ skylight system.
SkyLift™ Skylight System
The Duette® Honeycomb Shades and the SkyLift™ skylight system are a perfect pairing. Your custom honeycomb shades are able to open up and compress tightly to keep as much of your natural light as possible when you want your skylight shades open. And while closed, they provide a chic and minimal look that will keep your skylights looking great.
Plus, the insulating cells will be very helpful when you apply them to your skylights. Since the glass panels are the perfect place for heat to escape while it rises in your home, your skylight shades will improve your home’s energy efficiency even more.
