NEW Architella™ by Duette® Honeycomb Shades

Hunter Douglas introduces the NEW Duette Architella Collection, an evolution in honeycomb shades! The unique honeycomb within a honeycomb construction provides deep, luminous color, true opaque appearance, improved pleat retention, softer touch and higher R-Values (up to 38% greater than comparable pleats!) – a truly distinctive option over any other shade in the market.

2 pleat sizes are being offered (¾" and 1¼"), 2 opacities (semi-opaque and opaque). The collection is available with UltraGlide® (both pleat sizes available in Standard, Top-down/Bottom-up and Top-down) and Standard Cordlock (¾" pleat size only in Standard, Top-down/Bottom-up and Top-down) or TruRise® in 1¼" pleat size only.

Enhanced Form and Function

Rich, true colors, even with opaque fabrics; crisp pleats, front and back,- and superior energy efficiency are important benefits of the Architella Collection from Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb shades. Shown above is the new Elan fabric, with an elegant and subtle shimmering look.

What is the Value of R-value?

R-value measures a product's ability to keep heat in and cold out. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulation. An R-value of 4.00 will prevent up to 75% heat loss through the window.

Hunter Douglas Duette Architella honeycomb shades, with R-values ranging from 5.48 to 7.73, offer tremendous energy efficiency benefits with distinctive fashion.

In 2007 the Hunter Douglas Architella Collection was presented with the Window Covering Manufacturers Association’s (WCMA) Most Innovative Overall Design of the Year Award for Cellular Shades.
