3 Reasons Why Cellular Shades are a Great Investment

Classic Blinds & Shutters • September 23, 2025

Maybe you've been thinking about giving your windows a new style by updating your window dressings. The world of window treatments is vast and wide, making deciding what style is best for your home is difficult. Shutters, curtains, blinds, shades, what have you. One thing to think about is Georgia's fluctuating weather patterns. Summers are hot and humid, and winters are cool and rainy. Selecting a window treatment with excellent insulating properties, aesthetic style, and functionality is your best choice. Here at Classic Blinds & Shutters, we proudly carry Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades, which meet all these criteria and more.

Superior Insulating Qualities

Duette® Cellular Shades will offer you year-round comfort by keeping your house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Hot or cold air is trapped within the honeycomb pockets so that it does not enter your home. For even further insulating properties, you can opt for the Duette Architella® version. This style features a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design and is the most energy-efficient style available.

Exquisite Style

Duette® Cellular Shades will beautifully filter the natural light to create a welcoming ambiance. They are offered in three different pleat sizes—⅜", ¾," or 1 ¼" and can easily be fitted to beautify a variety of window styles and doors, including arches, trapezoids, angles, circles, ovals, bay, and French and patio doors.


These shades come in a generous selection of luxurious fabrics, including fabrics that are made from over 50 percent recycled material. Coming in over 150 fabric and color options ranging from calming neutrals to soft blues and greys, as well as creamy whites, these shades will instantly sophisticate a single room or an entire home.

Functional Design

Not only are these shades insulating and stylish, but they are also incredibly functional. They have excellent room-darkening qualities with our LightLock® blackout system and will absorb the sound for a quiet room that will allow you to get a peaceful night's rest. During the day, they have superior view-through with our ClearView® sheers.


You can easily control your light and privacy with one of our Top-Down or Top-Down/Bottom-Up designs or our Duolite® system. Shade management is easy with various control options, including smart automation, push/pull, cord loop, manual skylight, and retractable cord. One of our window experts can provide detailed demonstrations of each.


They also come in a variety of gliding systems:

  • Vertiglide™ system for door coverings.
  • SkyLift™ for skylights.
  • TrackGlide™ system for tilt/turn windows.
