Duette® Honeycomb Blinds | James Albert

Luxaflex® Duette®

The most energy
efficient blind
we offer.

A unique honeycomb cell structure that traps air and acts as insulation at your windows — reducing heat loss in winter, solar gain in summer, and cutting up to 50% of energy loss through glazing.

The Science

How the honeycomb
works for you.

Up to half of your home's heat is lost through windows and doors. Standard blinds do little to address this — but the Duette® honeycomb structure is an entirely different proposition. Each cell traps a layer of still air between the fabric and the glass, creating an insulating barrier that works year-round.

In winter, it reduces the rate at which warm air escapes through the glazing. In summer, it slows the rate at which solar heat enters the room. The result is a more comfortable home and measurably lower energy bills — with the latest A++ rated Architella® fabrics offering the highest level of thermal performance available in a window blind.

The honeycomb cells also absorb sound — reducing echo and reverberation from hard surfaces like glass, stone flooring and concrete walls by up to 60%. Particularly valuable in open-plan spaces and rooms with large areas of glazing.

Cell Configurations

Choose your level
of performance.

Single Cell
Standard honeycomb

One layer of honeycomb cells provides a significant improvement over a standard blind. A great starting point for light filtering and basic thermal performance in living rooms and hallways.

Double Cell
Enhanced insulation

Two layers of honeycomb cells — more air trapped, better insulation, greater sound absorption. The most popular configuration for bedrooms, conservatories and rooms facing north or east.

Architella® Triple Cell
A++ rated · Maximum performance

The flagship Luxaflex® Duette® — a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb structure with three layers of trapped air. Reduces energy loss by up to 50%. The definitive choice for energy-conscious homeowners and premium new builds.

Operating Systems

How you control
your Duette® blinds.

LiteRise® Cordless

Push up or pull down directly on the bottom rail — no cords, no chains, no child safety concerns. The cleanest and safest manual operation available, and the most popular choice for family homes.

Top Down / Bottom Up

Open from the top to let in light while maintaining privacy from outside — or from the bottom as normal. Unique to cellular blinds and particularly effective in bathrooms and ground floor rooms.

SmartCord®

A child-safe single cord operating system that keeps the cord retracted when not in use — combining traditional simplicity with the safety requirements of modern family homes.

PowerView® Motorisation

Full Luxaflex® smart automation — control by app, remote, scheduled timer or voice via Alexa, Google Assistant or Apple HomeKit. Programme blinds to adjust automatically at sunrise and sunset.

Where They Work

Made to fit every
window shape.

Standard Windows

Made to measure for any standard rectangular window — recess or face-fixed, any width or drop.

Conservatories

Duette® is the definitive conservatory blind — the energy performance transforms a cold or overheating space into a year-round room.

Skylights & Rooflights

TruFit® tensioned systems clip into Velux and other rooflight frames without drilling — perfect for overhead glazing.

Shaped Windows

Arches, triangles, ovals and tilt-and-turn windows — Duette® can be made to fit virtually any shape thanks to its flexible fabric construction.

Sustainability

Fabrics made
with the future in mind.

Luxaflex® Duette® offers a range of sustainably produced fabrics — reducing environmental impact without compromising on the thermal performance the range is known for.

Eternity Fabrics

Contain 40% recycled polyester — A++ energy rated and available across the full colour collection.

Bamboo Fabrics

Made using 25% natural bamboo from sustainable plantations — a beautiful, natural-looking option.

Cradle to Cradle™

Select Architella® fabrics are Cradle to Cradle Certified™ — designed for responsible end-of-life recycling.

Energy Savings

The blind itself pays back — lower heating and cooling bills offset the cost of installation over time.
