Hunter Douglas Duolite shades — two fabrics in one shade for day-to-night light control
Hunter Douglas

Duolite®

Two Shades. One System.

Most shades do one thing well. Duolite® does two — without doubling up on hardware. Two fabrics — one light filtering, one room darkening — in a single shade. No second window treatment. No compromise.

How Duolite Works

Five products. Five approaches to dual-fabric light control. Each engineered differently for its shade type.

Cellular Honeycomb Shades

Two Fused Fabrics · Three-Rail System

Two honeycomb fabrics — one light filtering, one room darkening — are fused together into a single shade with a three-rail system. The top rail is fixed. The bottom rail raises the entire shade. The middle rail is where the magic happens — slide it to control exactly how much of each fabric is exposed.

The cellular construction traps air for insulation, making Duette Duolite one of the most energy-efficient dual-fabric options available.

Cellular Honeycomb Shades

Dual-Fabric Honeycomb · Three-Rail System

Same fused dual-fabric honeycomb construction and three-rail system as Duette Duolite — light filtering on top, room darkening on the bottom, middle rail for precise control.

Applause delivers the full Duolite experience at a more accessible price point, with the same energy-efficient cellular design and the same range of operating systems.

Two Shades · One Roller
Vignette® Duolite

Roman Shades

Two Shades · One Roller

Two shades on a single roller. The front shade is a sheer or light-filtering fabric with Vignette’s signature clean, tailored folds. The back shade is an opaque room-darkening panel.

Lower the front shade completely, then lower the back panel to any position for precisely the darkness you want. No added mounting depth — both shades share one roller.

Roller Shades

Roll-Within-a-Roll · Dual Fabric

A patented roll-within-a-roll. A decorative sheer or semi-sheer fabric on the front, with a color-coordinated room-darkening opaque liner hidden inside the same tube. Both fabrics deploy from one compact mechanism — the lowest-profile dual-fabric roller system on the market.

Once the front shade is fully lowered, the back liner can be adjusted to achieve soft filtered light or complete room darkening.

Sheer Shades

Independent Room-Darkening Roller

A translucent Silhouette shading with its signature floating S-shaped vanes sits in front. Behind it, on the same headrail, an independently operated room-darkening roller shade. The two operate separately — lower the Silhouette, open the vanes, then position the roller shade at any height for exactly the light and privacy you want.

Gorgeous views outward, total privacy inward. Named 2015 Product of the Year by the Window Covering Manufacturers Association.

Duolite vs. Standard Shades

Most shades do one thing well. Duolite® does two — without doubling up on hardware.

Single Fabric

Standard Shades

A single fabric at a single opacity. Beautiful and effective — but fixed. Light filtering stays light filtering. Room darkening stays room darkening.

When your needs shift from day to night, a standard shade can't shift with you. That typically means layering drapery, adding a separate liner, or investing in a dual-roller system with twice the hardware.

vs
Dual Fabric

Duolite®

Two fabrics in a single shade — one sheer or light filtering, the other room darkening. Soft ambient light when you want it, total darkness when you need it. One product handles both.

No second headrail, no extra mounting depth, no added bulk at the window. One shade, one system, one clean line.
