Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades on skylights and windows near Grand Rapids, Michigan (MI)

Hunter Douglas Duette® Skylight Shades

Because of your skylights’ placement overhead, leaving them uncovered can heat up your rooms in warm weather and quickly chill them in the cold. Your skylights will also let in the strongest sunlight, fading your rugs, hardwood floors, and whatever else lies underneath.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are energy-efficient window coverings that come in an extensive list of specialist shapes, including skylights. Their special cellular construction will trap cold and warm air to keep your rooms consistently regulated; the double-cell construction of Duette® Architella® shades are particularly useful for under-insulated rooms. Duette® honeycomb shades in fact insulate so well, they even absorb sound.

Additionally, with over 150 Duette® fabric choices - including those from the renowned Alustra® Collection - homeowners can keep their home’s design elements cohesive from floor to the ceiling. Light-filtering and room-darkening fabric opacities further curate your desired natural lighting: with the LightLock™ blackout system, homeowners can turn their Duette® Cellular Shades into blackout skylight shades to eliminate sun glare. Finally, fabric pleats range from 3/8”, ¾”, and 1 ¼” to complement small, medium, and large windows.

Operating Your Skylight Shades

Custom skylight shades are only the first step to properly covering your overhead windows. A convenient operating system is paramount to meeting your individual light control needs. After all, being able to open and close your skylight window treatments means you’ll be far more likely to use them!

  • Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades and Applause® Honeycomb Shades are exclusively available with the convenient SkyLift™ system. The SkyLift™ system is ideal for hard-to-reach skylights and smoothly draws your shade in and out with a hand crank.
  • The Simplicity™ manual skylight system quickly lets you take control of your Duette® skylight shades either vertically or horizontally with the use of a telescoping pole.
  • For even more ease of operation, motorize your skylight window shades with PowerView® Automation. No more straining to reach a cord or pulling out a step stool: easily extend and retract your shades with the Pebble® Remote, PowerView® App, or the sound of your voice. With the PowerView® Gateway, homeowners can seamlessly integrate PowerView® with their other smart home systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Rechargeable battery wands, a dual charging station, and long-lasting power supplies make operating your motorized skylight shades simpler than ever.
