All Luxaflex Softshades offer some degree of window insulation; however, Duette and Duette Architella provide the most energy efficiency. The ultimate insulation solution is a fully recessed, reveal-mounted Duette Architella shade. It will reduce heat transfer through a single-glazed window by approximately 83 per cent and has the potential to reduce home heating costs by up to 43 per cent.

Luxaflex Softshades create a soft ambiance that makes it easy to relax and unwind. You can adjust the amount of light coming into each room, screen out neighbours, frame a perfect view, protect your furnishings from UV light and prevent heat loss during winter. Compared to traditional window treatments, Softshades are a revolutionary step forward – their beautiful good looks are matched by superior functionality.

Each type of Softshade has specific functions so the individual needs of every home can be met.

• Duette has excellent insulating properties. Air is trapped within a honeycomb cell, reducing heat loss in the winter to keep you warmer, and reducing heat gain in summer to keep your home cooler.
• Duette Architella has a unique honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb construction, to provide even greater energy efficiency.
• Silhouette is a translucent or room-darkening horizontal shade with fabric vanes that can be tilted to let through varying amounts of light and closed to give complete privacy.
• Luminette is a translucent or room-darkening shade with vertical fabric vanes that can be angled to vary the light, from diffused shafts when open to a warm glow when fully closed.
