The design of the Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades makes it the perfect window covering to use for creating energy-efficiency. The single-cell honeycomb design provides more insulation by trapping air inside the pockets.
The insulation within the shades means that your air conditioning or heating unit doesn’t have to work as hard to control the temperature of your home. This will lower your energy consumption, and even your energy bill. And if you want the most optimal energy efficient window shades available, then there’s the Duette® Architella® Honeycomb Shades which features a honeycomb inside of a honeycomb. This will increase the insulation, making it the most energy-efficient design yet.
These window treatments are available in many different fabrics, pleat styles, colors, and textures, making them perfect for any room. Also, we can apply the Duolite® option where two panels of fabric are included on one shade in order to maximize your options for light control.
Applause® by Hunter Douglas is a collection of honeycomb shades known for their energy efficiency. They are the only honeycomb shades with a triple-cell construction which maximizes their energy saving ability.
Applause® shades are available in several different shapes guaranteed to fit any window.

The Applause® shades are also compatible with several different operating systems, such as:
The Solera® soft shades have the energy efficiency of a cellular shade, while having the look of a classic Roman shade. The cellular construction of Solera® shades increases the insulating properties to lower your energy consumption. As an added bonus to these effective shades, they can also improve your room’s acoustics while reducing the intensity of outside noise.
These are available in all fabrics and because the Solera® shades can be lowered and raised from either the top or bottom, you can control the light and privacy of your home.
The Sonnette™ cellular roller shades innovative design enhances its energy efficiency. They are created with two layers of fabric and curved contours to provide added insulation and an elegant look to your windows. Having the extra layer of fabric will really increase the ability to trap cool or hot air which makes them effective for sustaining your home’s energy.
These shades come in 48 different colors and are offered in 4 fabric collections. And you can choose from semi-opaque and room-darkening options to better suit your specific needs.

Nothing has a bigger impact on your day than the quality - or lack - of sleep. The recent time change quickly reminded us how important sleep can be. Are the bedrooms in your home conducive to a good night of sleep, or do you suffer with light control, noise or temperature issues? Window coverings will affect all of that - creating the ideal environment for a peaceful night of rest. It’s time for you to find out about the options available to you and your family…
Before choosing your perfect bedroom window coverings, you should know that both features - room darkening and blackout - will provide your bedrooms the darkened atmosphere needed for improved sleep. While many window coverings are advertised with these enticing slogans, true room darkening and blackout shades will not leave you disappointed, creating the ideal environment to block out light - even during the day. Most of the time, once our clients start choosing from collections of window coverings that have room darkening and blackout features available, the decision really comes down to other characteristics - including style choices.
Room darkening is a great option for most bedrooms. When you hear “Room Darkening”, it means that most of the light is kept out of the room. While most of the light is blocked for a dark nighttime environment, depending on window location and fabrics chosen, your bedroom may receive dim light during the day. Some good examples of window coverings with room darkening are Solera Soft Shades and the Duette Collection. The beautiful fabrics of either line will highlight your decor while darkening your bedrooms for a good night of sleep. High levels of energy efficiency will ensure consistent, comfortable temperatures, while sound absorption can help provide a peaceful night of rest.
When the term “Blackout Shades” is used, it refers to window coverings that are completely opaque, not letting any light in. This is easily demonstrated with Designer Roller Shades from Hunter Douglas. The low profile design provides a sleek, custom fit to keep light out - using fabrics that block any incoming light. Blackout shades are an ideal choice if your bedroom windows are East or West facing, as you may need the effect of Blackout Shades to control the direct sunlight. The benefit of this extreme light control is that it also keeps that direct sunlight from heating up your bedroom during the day, and it offers exclusive privacy when you want it.
For the highest levels of light control, the innovation of Silhouette Window Shadings now offers an exclusive blackout shade. Yes - you read that right. Silhouettes, commonly known for the beauty and light dimming sheers that provide you with a dynamic view - even in the lowered position, now come with A Deux. Silhouette Window Shadings with A Deux offers the addition of a second shade - a roller shade - on the same shared headrail. This second shade operates independently of the Silhouette, giving you the chance to have the widest range of light control on the market. Perfect for setting an - always ideal - atmosphere in your bedroom.
A better night of sleep is only a phone call away. Our design experts can help you decide which feature, either room darkening or blackout shades, will give you the best night of sleep, based on a variety of factors. The fun part will be selecting the beautiful fabrics and textures to heighten the style of your bedrooms! Contact our team, at Horizon Window Fashions, for a free, in-home consultation.
Brrrr...it’s mid-December, and we are already looking forward to warmer spring temperatures. While our weather this year has not gotten as cold and snowy as years past, the chilly temps have us dreaming about bundling up and flying south for the winter! How is the atmosphere in your home? We have amazing solutions so you can relax in the warmth and comfort of your home with energy efficient window coverings.
Chances are...No. For the same reason that it is always a good idea to use caution with a glass full of hot liquid, new windows will not help as much as you would hope. Why? Glass is an amazing conductor. That means that even new windows will still feel cold on the inside of your home. The air that fills your home is continually moving, and every time it brushes up against your windows, the temperature of that air is lowered, creating a draft. With energy efficient window coverings, like the beautiful Duette Honeycomb Shades seen here, a layer of cell within cell structural insulation provides the protection you need to keep the air in your home at a comfortable temperature. And the designer appeal they offer will transform the look of your home!
We recommend these to anyone living in the Reno area. Why? Not only will they keep your home at a comfortable and consistent temperature during the cold months, but they will continue to maintain comfortable temperatures year round. Through the cold of winter, and the heat of summer, your furnace and air conditioner will not be working overtime at any point during the year. In addition, advanced levels of light control will make changes to your home that you will see and feel immediately. Designer appeal, energy efficiency, light control, privacy and UV protection...could you want anything more? Hunter Douglas also offers a wide range of energy efficient window coverings to suit your style, and also your budget, like the affordable Applause Honeycomb Shades seen here.
Hunter Douglas offers a wide range of products. Most popular, and well known, is the collection of Duette Honeycomb Shades. This cellular structure was awarded the highest levels of energy efficiency in the industry. Along with those window coverings, their line of Vignette Modern Roman Shades, shown here, is another strong choice to make your home as comfortable and consistent as possible throughout the year. With fabrics, textures and styles to choose from, you will outfit your home with a beautiful look. You will also enjoy comfort and warmth in the next few months, and for years to come.
It's that time of year when all you want, after spending time navigating your way through cold temperatures, is to come home to warmth and comfort. You can have that warmth, comfort and so much more with energy efficient window coverings. Don't spend the next few months wishing you had a solution!
