Each collection features a unique approach to dual light control.
Vignette Roman shade sequence

Compare the optionsDuette and Applause cellular
These cellular shades feature two different fabrics fused into one single, energy-efficient design. This provides seamless transitions between light and dark settings throughout the day.
Compare the optionsSilhouette sheer shades

Managing room light
The rear fabric creates darkness, while your choice of mount helps manage light spill around the edges.
Daylight and evening privacy
The front fabric softens the sun for a calm room during the day. Switch to the rear layer at night to ensure full privacy and a restful environment.
Beyond light-filtering
If you need complete darkness at the edges, we can discuss additional options like LightLock for Duette shades. Duolite focuses on dual-fabric control rather than side-channel sealing.
Compare the optionsProfessional mounting and fit
A successful installation considers your trim, window depth and fabric path. We review your specific window conditions to ensure the shade functions beautifully and sits flush.

Frequently asked
Can I add Duolite to any shade?
No, it is a built-in feature for specific Hunter Douglas collections. We help you choose the right model to ensure the dual-fabric system integrates perfectly.
Which shades offer Duolite?
Popular choices include Designer Roller, Alustra Woven Textures, Vignette, Duette, Applause and Silhouette. Each collection offers a distinct way to manage your light and privacy.
Does my roller shade need power?
Many Duolite roller shades use PowerView automation. We confirm the requirements for your chosen model during your design consultation to ensure easy operation.
How does Vignette Duolite work?
You lower the front shade fully, then engage the rear layer for privacy. We demonstrate this movement so you feel comfortable using your new shades.
Is Duette Duolite just two rollers?
No, it uses two fabrics fused into one shade. It provides a different look and movement than a rear roller system.
Does Duolite include LightLock?
LightLock is a separate enhancement for Duette shades. We can discuss your needs for total darkness and determine if this addition is right for your windows.
Is it private at night?
The rear layer is designed to provide privacy and darkness. We can help you compare material options to ensure they meet your specific needs after the sun goes down.
Can you retrofit older shades?
It is not usually possible to retrofit existing shades. We will identify the best new system for your home based on your current window conditions.
