Introducing state-of-the-art Duette® honeycomb shades with TruRise™ lifting system from Hunter Douglas. Now you can effortlessly raise a Duette honeycomb shade by simply pulling straight down on the sleek new tassel, or lower the shade by lifting the tassel straight up. What could be easier?

New lifting mechanism raises and lowers the shade surprisingly fast with little effort.

As the shade is raised, the cord length never extends beyond 42" - no matter how large the shade. Therefore, the cord does not pool on the floor.

Single cord operation offers enhanced aesthetics, and child and pet safety.

Easy to use, ergonomically-designed tassel complements any décor.

When to choose Duette with TruRise:

Large window applications where 1¼" fabrics look fabulous.

Any window where the ease of raising and lowering a shade is desired

Tips to remember when selecting Duette with TruRise:

Only 1¼" Duette fabrics are currently available with the TruRise lifting system.

Available in widths up to 120" and heights up to 84" with a maximum of 37 square feet.
