REDUCE YOUR ENERGY COSTS BY UP TO 43%* WITH DUETTE ® ARCHITELLA® SHADES

One of the greatest benefits of Luxaflex Window Fashions is the ability to control a room’s temperature. Luxaflex Duette Shades offer the highest level of energy efficiency compared with any other window covering.

The revolutionary Duette Architellla fabric range features a double honeycomb cell construction with four layers of fabric and three distinct insulating air pockets which traps air to provide extraordinary, energy efficient comfort throughout your home all year round.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY LUXAFLEX ® DUETTE ® SHADES
* Savings are based on the installation of fully-recessed, reveal-mounted Duette Architella 20mm Blockout Fabric Shades in an average home in Sydney, compared with the House Energy Rating standard of Holland Blinds from AccuRate in that home. These calculations have been modelled by an independent third party. Savings will vary based on the window type and installation. 1 Based on information from NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System). Visit www.nabers.com. au for more information. ^ The R-values are the combined measurement of 3mm (one-eighth inch) CI glass (R=0.127) plus the window covering and are reported in metric SI units. Thermal properties are determined by a certified third party laboratory utilising accepted ASTM, NFRC and WES standards and procedures. Measurements may vary based on window type and method of installation.

Duette Architella Shades

Did you know that up to 30% 1 of total heat loss from a home occurs through uncovered windows?

The Luxaflex Duette Architella covered window pictured above demonstrates significantly improved energy savings versus the uncovered window.

Duette ® Shades R-values^

A product’s “R-value” is a measurement of its ability to resist heat fl ow. In a home during winter, R-values indicate the ability of walls, roofs and windows to keep the heat inside. The higher its R-value, the more insulation a product provides. A fully-recessed, reveal-mounted Duette Architella Shade can increase the R-value of a 3mm single glazed window from 0.13 to 0.78, reducing the heat transfer through that window by 65%. Independent modelling has shown that this in turn can reduce an average home’s heating costs by up to 43%*.
