The honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design is the energy-saving secret of Architella. It all started with an experiment by Hunter Douglas inventor Wendell Colson. In exploring whether more air pockets meant greater insulation value, he thought that if one honeycomb pocket proved to be a good energy saver, perhaps more air pockets would be better. He was right. And so began the development of the energy-saving Duette Architella product. In this video, Colson demonstrates the insulating abilities of Duette Architella shades.

Today, your customers have a heightened awareness of the need to conserve energy wherever and whenever possible —and they have a new desire to act. So show your customers how they can save green on their energy bills, contribute to a greener planet and enjoy the beauty of Duette Architella honeycomb shades.

Aside from energy savings, Duette Architella shades look great and function well in any room!
