The Power of Duette® Cellular Shades with Hunter Douglas Vertiglide™

Did you know of the protective qualities that vertical cellular shades bring to your home? For one, they block the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation that can damage furniture, flooring, and artwork. If you've ever noticed a bright red sofa fading to a dull pink or a cherished portrait losing its vibrancy, you've seen firsthand the profound damage that UV can inflict on a space.

Vertical cellular shades also help save energy, as they reduce the use of your home's HVAC system since their honeycomb design creates an insulative barrier, thus minimizing the strain on heating and cooling systems.

For example, consider a living room with large, uncovered windows during a cold Nebraska winter. Without insulating shades, heat escapes through the glass or small fissures in the window frame, and the furnace has to put in overtime hours to maintain a consistent temperature, which increases wear and tear on the system.

Last—but certainly not least—vertical cellular shades keep your home and your loved ones safe from peeking passersby. For example, with uncovered sliding glass doors, your home feels exposed, but these shades create a stylish barrier, offering peace of mind and the comfort of true privacy on dark winter evenings.

For these reasons (and more), our experts are quick to recommend vertical cellular shades for sliding glass doors and other expansive windows!

The Innovation of the Vertiglide™ System

The Hunter Douglas Vertiglide™ system takes the protection and simplicity of their cellular shades to the next level. Designed with functionality and style in mind, this system operates by sliding horizontally along a sleek, discreet track—much like a sliding door. Unlike traditional vertical blinds with individual slats, Duette® Cellular Shades with Vertiglide™ feature a continuous fabric panel that can be split to the sides or center, offering a seamless, polished look. Opening and closing are effortless—simply glide the shade smoothly from one side to the other with a handle or the convenience of PowerView® Automation.

The Advanced Performance of Duette® Architella® 

If you're looking for superior insulation and energy savings, Hunter Douglas Duette® Architella® Cellular Shades are a premium innovation within the Duette® Cellular Shades line and take energy efficiency to all new levels. Its innovative honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design creates multiple insulating layers, making it the most energy-efficient option available. This advanced construction is perfect for sliding glass doors, where heat loss or gain can be most significant.
