COOL IN THE SUMMER, WARM IN THE WINTER. Did you know that up to 50% of a home’s heating and cooling energy can be lost through its windows? That’s why we designed this unique cellular shade that traps air in distinct pockets to help keep your house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And while the honeycomb design is praised for its efficiency, its shape and overall aesthetic are nothing short of beautiful. IT GETS BETTER. Architella® is our advanced honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb construction—further increasing your energy-efficiency options. 20% MORE. The new industry leader, Duette® Architella® Trielle™, incorporates six layers of fabric, five insulating air pockets and the largest 1.5” pleat size, delivering 20% more energy efficiency than even our original Architella shades. NO NEED TO COMPROMISE. Our revolutionary IllumiCell™, with an exclusive clear inner cell, diffuses natural light for enhanced illumination and energy efficiency. Yes, you can have both! FOR LARGE WINDOWS AND SLIDING DOORS. Vertiglide™ offers an exceptional, energy-efficient vertical solution for large expanses of windows and sliding glass doors. REDUCE OUTSIDE NOISE. Improve your room’s acoustics while reducing the intensity of outside sound. It starts at the windows. The degree of sound control will depend on the fabric you choose, so if this is an important feature to you, be sure to discuss it with your sales expert. PRIVACY WITH A VIEW.
