Discover LightLock® for room darkening, TrackGlide™ for tilt-turn windows, and Duolite® dual shades for flexible light control throughout the day.
Duolite®
Experience one of the most versatile light-control systems available for cellular shades. Exclusive to Hunter Douglas, Duolite® combines two shades in one headrail—a light-filtering front shade for soft, diffused daylight and a secondary room-darkening shade for enhanced privacy and darkness. Throughout the day, you can enjoy beautiful natural light while continuing to benefit from the insulating cellular construction that makes Duette® one of the industry's most energy-efficient window treatments. It's the ideal solution for homeowners who want year-round comfort without sacrificing daylight or views.
LightLock®
Need the ultimate room-darkening experience? LightLock® is an exclusive Hunter Douglas innovation that surrounds the edges of your Duette® shades with U-shaped side channels to dramatically reduce light leakage. Perfect for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms, LightLock® delivers exceptional darkness while the honeycomb construction continues to insulate your windows. If you're looking for the best room-darkening window treatments, LightLock® provides outstanding comfort, privacy, and better sleep.
TrackGlide™
Some windows require more than a standard shade. TrackGlide™ is designed for tilt-turn windows, French doors, shallow window frames, and other challenging openings where traditional window treatments may not fit. The guided track system keeps your Duette® Honeycomb Shades close to the glass as windows tilt or swing open, delivering smooth operation, outstanding insulation, and beautiful light control. It's one of the many reasons Duette® shades are an excellent choice for specialty windows throughout your home.
