There’s a particular quality to light in a well-appointed Jupiter home — warm, filtered, soft at the edges. Not the harsh midday glare that fades your upholstery or the full-blackout darkness that makes a room feel closed. Something in between: controlled, considered, beautiful. Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades are one of the most effective ways to achieve exactly that — and they do it while quietly managing your energy costs in ways you’ll notice on your utility bill.
This guide covers everything you need to know about Duette honeycomb shades: how they work, which options exist in the Hunter Douglas lineup, and why they’re one of the most requested products at Interiors by Laura.
What Are Duette Honeycomb Shades?
The honeycomb cell structure creates a thermal barrier between the window and the room. In Palm Beach County’s climate, that barrier works hard in two directions: blocking summer heat gain and slowing winter heat loss. Hunter Douglas Duette shades are engineered — not just decorative. Interiors by Laura, as an authorized Hunter Douglas dealer, carries the full Duette collection.
How Duette Reduces Your Energy Bills — Even in Florida
Every window in your home is a potential solar collector. South- and west-facing windows receive direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day. Hunter Douglas has conducted independent energy testing on Duette shades. Their cellular construction reduces heat gain through windows, contributing to meaningful reductions in air conditioning load. In a Jupiter home where the AC runs heavily from March through November, that reduction adds up over a cooling season.
The Duette Lineup: Single-Cell, Double-Cell, and Architella
Single-Cell Duette
One row of honeycomb cells. Excellent light filtering and a clean, refined appearance. Best for rooms with some natural heat management.
Double-Cell Duette
Two rows of honeycomb cells — more insulation, greater energy performance. The most popular choice in Interiors by Laura’s Palm Beach County installations.
Architella® — Triple-Cell
Hunter Douglas’s highest-performing cellular shade. A cell-within-a-cell construction. Best for south- and west-facing windows with direct afternoon sun exposure in the Jupiter luxury market.
Light Control: Duolite, LightLock, and Standard Filtering
Duolite® — Two Shades in One
A Duolite shade contains two fabric layers — a sheer and an opaque — that operate independently. In a master bedroom, Duolite eliminates the need for two separate window treatments.
LightLock™ — True Room Darkening
A unique side-track system that seals the shade to the window frame, eliminating light leakage at the edges. Ideal for east-facing Jupiter bedrooms where morning sun is intense.
Motorized Duette: PowerView® for Palm Beach Homes
PowerView motorization allows scheduled automation, app control, smart home integration, and voice control. For Duolite shades, you can program the sheer layer to open with morning light and the room-darkening layer to close at bedtime.
