Duette® Cellular Shades for Sidelights

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are one of the most energy-efficient window treatments available. These unique sidelight window shades double as insulation, reducing outside sound and managing temperatures. You can let in sunlight by raising the shades.

Consider cellular shades if you:

  • Prioritize energy savings.
  • Prefer privacy to a view.
  • Want to block glare and UV rays.
  • Seek a quieter home.

Luminette® Sheer Panels for Sidelights

Luminette® Sheer Panels from Hunter Douglas have fabric panels that hang vertically between sheer fabric as a kind of combination of sidelight blind and shade. The sheer fabrics adjust to the light, view, and privacy as you need them. These sidelight window shades reduce glare and protect from dangerous UV rays, which could fade your home’s interior, like the flooring.

You may enjoy sheer panels as sidelight window treatments if you:

  • Want a view but don't want the glare.
  • Enjoy natural light but also want UV protection.
  • Prefer to see out but don't want others to see inside.
