Luxaflex Duette® Honeycomb Shades Melbourne
Luxaflex Duette Shades are elegant honeycomb blinds that combine style, functionality, and energy efficiency. Their unique cellular design provides exceptional insulation, helping to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer, while also offering precise light control and privacy. The clean, architectural finish of Duette Shades adds a refined, contemporary look to any interior.
Duette Shades are highly versatile thanks to their Top-Down/Bottom-Up operating system, allowing you to lower the shade from the top for filtered light while maintaining privacy at the bottom, or raise it from the bottom to enjoy unobstructed views. This flexible design is perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and any space where controlling light, privacy, and views is important.
For the ultimate convenience, Duette Shades can also be motorised, enabling effortless operation via remote control or smartphone app. Motorisation is ideal for large or hard-to-reach windows, and can also be integrated with smart home systems for automated light and privacy control throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Duette Shades
-
There are a lot of factors that affect price – see our summary of pricing variables and options
-
Still the market leader in honeycomb blinds, the Luxaflex Duette Shades series is unrivalled when it comes to elegant window coverings that keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer.
There are many reasons to choose a Duette Shade for your home. Apart from the extensive fabric range and their versatility throughout the home, Duette Shades have many other qualities that make them a perfect inclusion for almost any room. The unique honeycomb structure of Luxaflex Duette Shades provides a contemporary striking look whilst providing efficient insulation by trapping air within the honeycomb cell. The versatile design caters for arches, angles, and skylights.
Exclusive to Luxaflex Window Fashions; Duette Architella Shades, features a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb structure for superior energy efficiency, which reduces heat loss in Winter and keeps your home cooler in Summer.
-
The Luxaflex Duette can reduce your heating costs by up to 43%
Most of your home’s energy is lost through windows. Research has revealed that up to 30% of total heat loss from your home occurs through uncovered windows. The Luxaflex Duette Architella significantly improves energy savings versus the uncovered window.
During winter there’s an immediate reduction in radiant heat loss to the cold window glass, and people feel warmer. Here’s how it works: All people and objects give off and receive radiant heat. When significantly more is given off than they get back to cold glass, it can feel like a chilly draft, even if the window is tightly sealed. When people lose enough radiant heat to feel uncomfortable, they will typically turn up the thermostat, consuming energy resources and adding utility costs – but a well-insulating shade can counteract all this.
-
Similarly to the explanation above… in Summer the reverse effect is seen. The pockets of air traps and blocks incoming heat, keeping the home cooler inside.
-
Yes – Sound energy is absorbed within the cell, dulling exterior noise by up to 55% even with Translucent fabric. The Luxaflex duette can be used allowing light to enter your home or with a blockout while keeping noise at bay.
-
This operation means you can lower the blind from the top down allowing light and providing a view, while maintaining privacy. This is perfect for street facing windows, walkways, bathrooms or anywhere you need privacy in the lower section of your windows.
-
The Luxaflex duette blind and the Verosol pleated blinds are both great options for a skylight window. The Luxaflex skylight blind runs on side channels. The Verosol pleated blind has a silver reflective backing to reflect the heat and has fine wires for operation. We have both products on display in our showroom and both are available in manual or motorised options.
-
The Luxaflex duette blind provides very good blockout. There is only a 5mm gap from the end of the blind to where the fabric starts (which is about 5 times less than a roller blind!). If the slither of light down the side is still too much light for you the Duette LightLock Shades have been created to help you outsmart the sun and enjoy a better night’s sleep. They feature a unique U-Shaped side channel designed to absorb, deflect and block incoming light from seeping through into the room. LightLock blends seamlessly into the window frame preventing light leakage that is inherent with all reveal mounted blockout blinds and is a perfect solution for bedrooms, nurseries and media rooms, where maximum darkness is required.
-
Duette Shades are made of anti-static, dust-resistant fabric which repels dirt and dust. For most Duette fabrics, the following cleaning options are available.
Dusting: Regular light dusting with a feather duster is all the cleaning needed in most circumstances.
Vacuuming: For more thorough dust removal, vacuum gently with a brush attachment.
Compressed air/hair dryer (cool setting): Use compressed air or a hair dryer on a cool setting to blow dust and dirt off shades.
Do not vacuum Elan, Myst and Ménage translucent and blockout fabrics.
Do not spot clean Alexa, Elan, India Silk, Leela, Ménage and Aurora fabrics.
