Duette® Shades

For over thirty years, we have taken pride in having the ‘original and the best’ honeycomb blinds on the market.

 

The unique honeycomb structure of Luxaflex Duette Shades offers a contemporary, striking look, along with efficient insulation by trapping air within the honeycomb cell. Easy to care for, this product comes in a large selection of cell sizes and styles. Versatile design caters for arches, angles, and skylights.

 

Exclusive to Luxaflex Window Fashions, Duette Architella Shades feature a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb structure for superior energy efficiency. This design reduces heat loss in winter and keeps your home cooler in summer.

Silhouette® Shadings

In an unassuming yet powerful fashion, light influences the mood of a room. Luxaflex Silhouette® Shadings with signature S-Vanes combines elegance with functional design that allows you to harness and beautifully diffuse natural light to your exact preference. A clever blend of on-trend design aesthetics and practicality, the innovative material used allows you to see outside, while restricting the view from the street for privacy.

 

Silhouette® Shadings come with Luxaflex’s signature “S-Vane.” This unique product offers a huge range of colours in both room-darkening and translucent fabrics. They can be opened for a full, soft-focus view, closed for privacy, or tilted for light control. And you can coordinate the tones of Silhouette® Shadings with Luminette® Privacy Sheers to achieve a consistent look and colour palette throughout your home.


VERSATILE FABRICS

Made from 100% anti-static, dust-resistant polyester, Silhouette® Shadings are durable and easy to clean. They come in two opacities. Translucent fabrics gently filter light to provide a warm glow while protecting furnishings from UV light; room-darkening vanes provide complete privacy without totally darkening an environment. In addition, Silhouette® is available in a range of gorgeous fabrics – from metallic Myst to silken French Linen.

  • What are soft shades, and how are they different from other window coverings?

    Soft shades are fabric-based window coverings that combine the functionality of blinds with the elegance of curtains. Unlike traditional blinds with hard slats, soft shades use folded or layered fabrics to filter light gently. Popular styles include Roman shades, Duette (honeycomb) shades and Silhouette shades. They offer a softer look, better light diffusion and are often chosen for their aesthetic appeal in living rooms, bedrooms and formal areas. Some styles also provide excellent insulation and UV protection.

  • Are soft shades good for privacy and light control?

    Yes, soft shades are designed to provide both privacy and flexible light control. Many styles, like Silhouette or Luminette shades, feature sheer layers that diffuse sunlight while maintaining outside views. For greater privacy or darkness, options like blockout Roman shades or dual-layered Duette shades are ideal.


    Some models offer top-down/bottom-up operation, allowing you to control light and privacy independently. Soft shades strike a balance between functionality and style, making them suitable for most rooms in the home.

  • How do you clean and maintain soft shades?

    Soft shades should be dusted regularly using a feather duster or vacuum with a brush attachment. For spot cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild detergent—avoid saturating the fabric. Avoid harsh scrubbing, especially on delicate materials.


    Some shades, like Duette or Silhouette, are best cleaned by professionals to maintain their shape and integrity. Always check manufacturer care instructions, as fabric type and construction vary. With regular maintenance, soft shades can remain attractive and functional for many years.
