Stay Comfy with Energy-Efficient Shades
In the midst of the bustling summer season, there is something uniquely comforting about retreating to a cool corner in your own home. Whether you've spent an active day at the beach, hours in the garden, or toting your kids from one adventure to the next, a sun-soaked afternoon in North Carolina calls for a leisurely wind-down time out of the harsh sunlight.
Likewise, in the winter, spending hours in a warm room in your plush armchair with a captivating book with a refreshing cup of tea all map the perfect route to rejuvenation—and Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation with Duette® Cellular Shades facilitates both of these possibilities
At Blinds and Designs, we take great pride in offering a wide range of beautiful Hunter Douglas shades, including Duette® Cellular Shades. Expertly engineered to add an additional layer of insulation, these shades keep your rooms cozy throughout the year, enhancing your living quarters into a perfect sanctuary with a remarkable blend of functionality, style, and energy efficiency. When paired with PowerView® Automation, whether you're an aspiring tech enthusiast or a pragmatic homeowner seeking efficiency, prepare to swoon over these smart and chic window treatments.
Moderate Your Room’s Temperature with Cellular Shades
Duette® Cellular Shades celebrate the simplicity of a roller-style shade with an energy-efficient cellular design. Their honeycomb shaped pockets trap air at the window and so your inside air stays in and the outside air stays out.
Cellular shades naturally diffuse light. These shades are offered in over 150 colors, including fabric options made from over 50 % recycled content. These shades will instantly beautify and insulate your home simultaneously. You can select from different fabric opacities—from semi-opaque to room darkening. Duette® Cellular Shades can be fit to a variety of window and door sizes and types such as ovals, arches, circles, trapezoids, French doors, sky and sidelights, and more.
You can control your cellular shades with a variety of operating systems including:
- Push-up/Pull-down LiteRise® lets you operate your window treatment by simply pushing up or pulling down with your hand.
- UltraGlide® is a retractable corded system that always remains a constant length when raising and lowering your window treatments.
- Corded Loop EasyRise™ is perfect for opening and closing larger shades in a continuous cord loop, specially engineered for smooth, easy operation.
- Simplicity™ is a manual operating system for skylights that is available for vertical or horizontal orientation and can stack in any direction.
- PowerView® Automation, motorized window shades
Motorized Window Shades near Fletcher, NC
Powerview® Automation is powered by Bluetooth technology. In its third generation, PowerView® Automation is a motorized window treatment system that allows you to move your shades at the touch of a button or according to your schedules—day or night, whether at home or away.
Operated with the PowerView® app on your tablet and smartphone, through the sleek Pebble® remote, or operated with smart-home systems for voice-operated convenience, PowerView® Automation can increase your privacy and security with automatic scheduled closing and opening times and is a safer option because smart shades do not have cords that can be dangerous to young children and pets.
It's also an energy efficient solution, especially when paired with Duette® Cellular Shades— schedule your shades to open or close with the movement of the sun to heat or cool your spaces naturally and rely less on your HVAC.
