In India, where summers can be scorching and winters can be chilly, energy efficiency is a crucial concern. One effective way to regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption is by investing in high-quality insulating window shades.
When it comes to insulating your windows, cellular shades are the clear winner.
Insulated Shades for Windows
Cellular shades are the pinnacle of energy efficiency in the window treatment market. Available in a variety of styles, cellular shades offer a perfect blend of function and aesthetics.

The History of Duette® Honeycomb Shades
Our Duette® Honeycomb Shades were the brainchild of Wendell Colson, Vice President of Research and Development at Hunter Douglas. But the creation of Duette shades began long before Colson had even heard of us.
It all started during the ‘70s energy crisis – when the recent college grad with an architecture degree moved into a home with draughty windows. He went to work in his attic, eventually building the first model of a honeycomb shade using Mylar and cardboard stiffeners
The honeycomb structure of Duette® Sheer Shades minimises solar heat gain through large windows.
