Duette D2 - 3/4" Single Cell

Duette 3/4" honeycomb shades give you Hunter Douglas quality and style at a very attractive price. With the larger honeycomb cell, you get added insulation. These light-filtering window shades are private, yet they allow light to filter into your home. Duettes are available in a large pallette of colors, from pale neutrals to rich, deep tones. Colors are backed by white for a uniform appearance on your home's exterior. An occasional vacuuming is all that's needed to keep these window shades looking fresh.The soft, flexible nature of Duettes allow these window coverings to stack compactly when raised, so they virtually disappear. Duette cellular shades are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.A host of extremely popular lifting options provides added safety and convenience, as well as ease of use. Check out the Bottom-Up/Top-Down, EasyRise, Ultraglide, LiteRise(cordless feature, which now comes standard with a matching fabric valance), and Duette PowerRise (motorized) features. To see matching Vertiglide shades, visit our Vertical Blind Alternatives category or click here. Color shown in picture is Aubergine D2-484.

"I purchased a Duette powerise shade with a remote for a window that is 16 feet up a wall. I have twice been sent a shade with a motor that does not work. The first time I received it the motor did not work at all. It was picked up and "repaired". When we installed it again it became apparent that it was not repaired but simply sent in the same condition. The only positive is that blinds.com will give me a refund but I am still very disappointed that I couldn't get a window covering that worked. Considering I spent over $400.00 on a single shade that's pretty sad. Needless to say I will not be buying a Hunter-Douglas product again."

"We bought Hunter Douglas Duette 3/4" shades (top down and bottom up). Blinds.com was $100 less than any local supplier of the exact same shade. Ordering was easy, delivery was swift, installation was easy - there was a bracket missing and Blinds.com customer service sent it quickly. We are very pleased."

"We purchased new shades for our new windows and simply love the look. We received color samples promptly in the mail, took the measurements and then called to place the order.
The blinds arrived in less than 2 weeks, were absolutely perfect and very easy to install.
We just love them. I love the cordless feature and the top-down/bottom-up feature for our double-hung windows.
We enthusiastically recommend blinds.com."

"I am not a handy-man -- nor do I claim to be one. This product was one of the simplest home projects I've done. Only "gotcha" is that the mounting brackets should be aligned properly. I was lucky to have a back edge to put my mounts flush against, but I still ended up a bit crooked on one. This prevented the headrail from snapping into place -- once I fixed the crooked mount -- everything fell into place nicely."

"Blinds.com saved me nearly half of what I would have spent in any blind store in or around New York City. It was a pleasure doing business with them. When I called the 800 number the representative answered all my questions and gave me suggestions on measuring for a perfect fit. I had chosen a color in a local store, and the representative sent me a sample of this color and similar ones. I wish the samples were perhaps twice the size.
I emailed my order with the measurements and other requirements, and in less than two weeks the shades arrived, we installed them and they are perfect. Thank you!"

"I am very satisfied with my new Duette blinds. I have had Duettes before, and have been pleased with the way they look, and the insulation from heat and cold at the windows. With the 2" faux wood blinds I replaced, that wasn't the case. This is the first time I have had the "Lite Rise" feature--and boy is it terrific! No more cumbersome cords to pull and then try to fasten out of the way. It simply lifts up to the position I want, and stays there."

"Wow - I am one happy camper! The exact same Hunter-Douglas cellular shades that I was going to get through a local "discount" vendor -- but the price on Blinds.com was 38% less! I saved over $500 bucks - which is huge! They arrived in perfect condition (excellent packaging) and in less than half the time the local vendor had quoted us! The measurements were right on the money and installation was easy & quick - just like the customer service agent said it would be. These honeycomb blinds work flawlessly. The windows look awesome. I am sooooo happy that I got brave and ordered them from this website! instead of just playing it safe and buying them locally thru Costco. The gal on the Blinds.com "800" number who helped me with my order ("Ann") was very patient, knowledgeable, and just set me at ease. Now, I'm already looking at other products on the Blinds.com website, to do the other windows in our house! You can bet I will recommend this business to others!
THANK YOU"

"We purchased Hunter Douglas Duette shades for three rooms in our house. They are well made, easy to install and look great. Very nice selection of colors. I had a question about measuring and called Blinds.com for advice. The person I spoke with was very helpful. Would definitely purchase these shades again. Thank you."

"The blinds we ordered were beautiful; however, we measured our windows incorrectly. Be sure to measure your windows at least in 4 or 5 different areas. Our area was curved so we were off on our measurements."

"I purchased 2 of these shades for my recently re-done kitchen. Ordering several samples was extremely helpful in determining the exact color. The match is perfect. They were installed in a short time and the mechanisms work very smoothly. I am very pleased with my purchase and with the overall experience in dealing with this company. I would definitely recommend them and I would not hesitate to order again."

"I ordered blinds for all 64 windows in my new home. They were beautiful, fit perfectly, and the installation was a breeze...we had them all installed in 2 days. Even four months later, my husband still comments on what a great job I did when ordering them...and it's all thanks to you and your superb products... and even better customer service! Furthermore, with my home having so many windows, I really appreciate their insulating factor. I would highly recommend Blinds.com to anyone. They definitely set the standard for outstanding service in every way."

"Customer service was great, installation couldn't be easier. They fit perfect. The plastic pieces connecting the two strings from headrail to the one string on pulldowns are cheap and broke after 1 year."

"Overall we are very pleased with the product, but had tremendous difficulty in finding a shade that worked properly for our upper, large window. The upper shades are operated by remote-control and it took 5 shades before we finally received one that my husband was able to reconfigure to work. Blinds.com was outstanding at continuing to send us new shades as each one malfunctioned. I rate Blinds.com 5 stars for their customer service and commitment to customer satisfaction. We do not know if the blind was to blame or the way it was shipped. I would definetly buy from Blinds.com again and would recommend them to my friends. I would also purchase this Hunter Douglas product again, but would be hesistant to go the remote-control route."

"I had the very same blinds priced from an installer in my town. They were more than 3 times as much!!! That was including installation - so I thought - maybe they are really hard to install. First I order just one blind. My husband put it up in under 10 minutes. Then I ordered the other 27 blinds which arrived in about 1 week, were perfectly sized, and which my husband upt us at a rate of about one every 4 minutes. They are beautiful - the VERY same brand name and extras as I had been priced before. Fantastic! If I had more windows, I would use them again immediately! Thanks."

"I bought these shades for both of my daughters bedrooms. They have the privacy they need while filtering in the natural light. The Easy Rise lift system is the best, the shades stay even whether they're going up or down. The color matched their decor perfectly and they look beautiful inside the room and from the exterior as well."

"This is the perfect product for that hard to reach window. We had alot of light coming in early in the morning as well as some heat loss issues plus a privacy concern for a second story foyer window. Our solution was the Duette Remote Blind. We installed it and it was the perfect solution. Now we can open it when we want the light to come in and warm up the house, close it at night to keep the heat in and it provides privacy to our upstairs hallway and bathroom at night. This was the best product for our issues and the best site to order it from. Pricing was cheaper and the customer service was fantastic."

The quality and appearance of the blinds are absolutely as promised as well as being the easiest to install window treatment ever! Ordering was easy and delivery prompt.

As soon as my new patio door is installed, I will be ordering matching blinds for it."
