Here are some of the many benefits of Duette shades:
Pleat sizes
You can choose 3/8-inch, 3/4-inch, or 1 1/4-inch single or double honeycomb.
Color and choice of fabrics
There are more than 100 different colors and fabrics to choose from, making it easy to design a custom window covering that will blend perfectly with your interior design and color scheme. Regardless of the colors you choose for the interior your shades will have a unified exterior appearance.
Privacy and light control
While slat blinds are wonderful for controlling, they can be difficult when it comes to choosing your light control. Duette honeycomb shades can be ordered in five different levels of opacity, with 1 being the most sheer and 5 being completely opaque.

Cleaning and Care Tips
Information First: Before cleaning, always refer to the information provided by Hunter Douglas for the specific product type of Duette shades you have.
Dusting: The easiest and most common way to clean Duette shades is by gently dusting them. This helps maintain the decor and integrity of the window treatments.
Vacuuming: For a deeper clean, use the brush attachment on your vacuum. It’s a preferred choice for many people, especially for shades in the living room or kitchen where dust might accumulate faster.
Spot Cleaning: If you notice a stain or some dirt, you can spot clean using a soft cloth or sponge, a mild detergent, and lukewarm water. Always blot gently rather than rubbing.
Deep Cleaning: For a thorough clean, you can immerse the entire shade in a tub of lukewarm water and a mild detergent. Move the shade up and down through the water, rinse, and fully raise it to dry. Note: Not all Duettes can be cleaned this way. Always refer to the specific care content provided.
Avoid Harsh Products: It’s important to avoid using harsh cleaning products or accessories that can damage the fabric or structure of the shades.
Maintenance: Periodically check the length of cords, accessories like the rod or curtain rod (if used with drapery), and other parts of your window treatment to ensure they’re in good condition.
Professional Cleaning: If you feel unsure or don’t have experience with cleaning these specific window treatments, it might be a good choice to seek professional cleaning services.
Keep Away From Heat: Avoid exposing the shades to direct heat or sunlight when wet, as this can damage their shape and texture.
Spacing: Ensure there’s adequate space between the shades and windows, especially during winter. Condensation from the windows can dampen the shades, which may lead to mold growth.
Kitchen & Living Room: Given the activities in these spaces, window treatments in the kitchen or living room may require more frequent cleaning. Be cautious of kitchen grease or living room dust.
Innovative Ideas: For those with an interest in keeping their home environment pristine, consider integrating air-purifying plants or using air filters to reduce the accumulation of dust and allergens which can settle on window treatments.
Remember, the ceiling, walls, and other elements in a room can impact how dust and particles circulate and settle, so it’s always a good idea to ensure the entire space is clean. Always refer back to Hunter Douglas literature or contact them directly for the best advice on caring for your Duette Honeycomb Shades.
