Duette® Blind Systems: The Original Honeycomb Duette Blind for Energy-Efficient Living & Conservatories

A Duette® blind is one of the most advanced blind solutions available, combining refined design with proven thermal performance. Known as the original honeycomb blind, Duette® blinds use an innovative honeycomb structure to deliver exceptional insulation, light control, and visual elegance. This article explains how Duette® honeycomb blinds work, where they perform best, and why they are considered one of the most highly energy efficient window covering solutions on the market.

What Is a Duette Blind?




A Duette® blind is a type of pleated blind formed using a unique honeycomb design. Unlike standard pleated blinds, Duette® blinds feature clever honeycomb cells that trap air within the blind.

This honeycomb construction creates an insulating barrier at the window, helping to reduce heat loss through your windows while maintaining a clean, architectural appearance.

How Does the Duette Blinds Honeycomb Structure Work?

The honeycomb structure is formed by layers of fabric arranged into cellular pockets. These cells contain air, creating an extra layer of insulation between the glass and the room.

This innovative honeycomb configuration allows the blind to effectively contain air, keeping interiors warmer in winter and cooler in summer while reducing outside noise.

Why Choose Duette Shades Over Other Pleated Blinds?

Unlike standard pleated blinds, Duette® blinds conceal operating cords within the fabric using unique Pure™ technology. This improves child safety while delivering a cleaner finish.

As specialist blinds, Duette® blinds outperform many alternatives in both energy saving and durability, making them a long-term solution rather than a decorative upgrade.

Duette Blinds for Conservatories and Roof Blinds

A conservatory presents one of the most challenging environments for any blind. Duette® blinds are particularly effective here due to their insulating properties.

Used as roof blinds, Duette® blinds help insulate large glazed areas, reducing glare, managing heat loss, and improving comfort throughout the year.

Light Control, Blackout and Privacy Options

Duette® blinds are available in a range of light-filtering and blackout blinds. Blackout options provide excellent control without compromising the honeycomb design. These blinds are designed with a brush attachment onto the headrail to minimise/eliminate light bleeding from the top of the blind.

This balance of light control and insulation makes the blind suitable for bedrooms, media rooms, and living spaces where performance matters as a single blind solution instead of using two or more layers to achieve similar results.

Colour, Fabric and Duette Silk Finishes

A wide selection of colours is available, from neutral tones to expressive shades. Duette® fabrics are engineered to hold their pleat while maintaining softness.

Premium finishes such as Duette® Silk enhance visual depth while preserving the unique honeycomb configuration and performance.

Energy Efficiency and Thermal Performance

Made to measure Duette® blinds are highly energy efficient. The honeycomb structure helps reduce heat loss, improve insulation, and create an energy saving buffer at the window during cold seasons and cool in the summer seasons. 

This makes Duette® blinds one of the most effective thermal blinds available for residential glazing.

Electric Blinds and Smart Home Integration

Duette® blinds can be specified as electric blinds with motorisation and remote control. Integration with a smart home system such as Google Home allows seamless daily operation.

Motorisation improves accessibility while maintaining smooth, controlled movement of the blind.

Expert Advice, Installation and Bespoke Fit

Professional specification ensures correct measuring, fixing, and long-term performance. A free consultation allows expert advice on configuration, fabric and operation.

Unlike mass-market suppliers such as Hillarys advisor or other online suppliers, Duette® blinds benefit from a considered installation process.
