Cool Comfort in the Desert: Using Shades to Stay Cool in Tucson

Did the record-breaking heat this summer have you searching for ways to make your home more energy efficient? At Desert Wind Shutters, we offer a double-cell honeycomb shade called the Duette Shade.

The honeycomb shade was invented in the early 1980s in response to the energy crisis of the 1970s. Its unique “cell-within-a-cell” design traps air inside the pockets, creating insulation that keeps the heat out and the cool in, and vice versa during the winter.

The Duette line offers many versatile options, including top-down/bottom-up operation. It comes in a variety of opacities—sheer, light filtering, room darkening, and even blackout, as well as a wide range of fabric choices. The Hunter Douglas Duette line is an excellent option to help you beat the Tucson, Arizona heat!

Best of all, honeycomb shades are so energy efficient they qualify for the federal energy efficiency tax credit—but this credit ends on 12/31/2025. Give us a call today to get the best value on your shades!
