When it comes to window coverings, this ultimate pairing of honeycomb blinds and automation go way beyond convenience.
Duette Honeycomb Shades have always offered the very best in year-round window insulation. The innovative cellular construction traps air between layers of pleated, reinforced fabric, creating an effective barrier against heat-transfer. These classically elegant, high-performance window coverings keep warm air in (or out depending on the season) - maintaining your comfort and lowering your energy bills in the process.
Now you can make the most of Duette Shades by adding a PowerView Gen 3 Automated operating system. Not only does it make operating your blinds easy and convenient, you’ll have total control of your shades anytime from anywhere - you can even schedule your blinds to automatically open or close at sunrise and sunset times as calculated by the PowerView App.
The easy-to-use features are designed to help you control your energy consumption throughout the seasons, optimising efficiency and ensuring you always come home to comfort.
PowerView® Gen 3: Making the World’s Most Beautiful Window Coverings the Most Intelligent
Featuring innovative construction that traps air in engineered internal pockets, Duette Shades provide best-in-class insulation regardless of what weather is serving up outside. These sleek window coverings will keep the warm air in and cold air out all winter - lowering your energy consumption and bills in the process. Custom crafted to fit your space, Duette Shades provide beautiful light control, privacy and premium insulation all year round.
If you’re looking for the ultimate in cellular insulation, we offer Duette Architella Shades. Unequivocally the best insulating window covering in the market, these high-performance shades utilise cell-within-a-cell construction, creating 3 air-pockets to achieve more significant gains in energy efficiency.
The PowerView® App Puts the Control in Your Hands.
The PowerView App is the starting point for the entire PowerView Gen 3 system. Enabled with Bluetooth technology, it features real time, two-way communication between your shades and the PowerView Gen 3 system, allowing you control that’s fast, easy and accurate.
From the convenience of your phone or tablet, the PowerView App can operate your window coverings individually, by room, or throughout the home using pre-set Scenes and Automations. Use the App to control up to four blinds or a remote if you have up to 15 shades.
Control Options to Suit Your Lifestyle
The PowerView App on Your Device:
With The PowerView App you can use your smartphone or tablet like a remote control for individual shades or the entire home.
The Pebble Remote:
With the Pebble, you can organise different groupings of windows to your preferences or set a “Favourite” position for your blind. Raise, lower or traverse your blinds with the open and close button or press stop to adjust any shade to your perfect, preferred position. For an added pop of colour, the Pebble comes in a range of colours to choose from.
The Surface Wall Mounted Remote:
The Surface Remote, which easily mounts to any wall, operates the same way and with all the same features as the Pebble, but from a convenient fixed location. It comes in several colour options to mix and match to your personal style.
PowerView® Gateway:
Control your blinds from anywhere in the world! This feature ‘turbocharges’ the capacity of your PowerView app – allowing you to add voice control; integrate with other home automation features like lights and music; and leverage the RemoteConnect functionality, which allows you to control your shades from anywhere in the world.
