Dual Shades
What Can Dual Shades Do?
- Softened light in one position
- Light blocking with the second shade
- Both disappear into the headrail
An incredible range of light control, your home can feature the soft, glowing light that flows through a filtering fabric of the front shade. When you need more control, lower the secondary blackout shade into place. Room darkening extends the function of your space with comfort, control and privacy.
The Duolite® system is available in three varying options in operation. Many of the products are offered with a secondary blackout shade. Honeycomb shades are seamlessly designed as a two-in-one, which allows you to adjust both portions up and down to change the light control. And, finally, a new innovation is available with woven woods, adding a second covering of honeycomb design, adding not only light control, but energy efficiency.

Dual Honeycomb Shades
There’s a special type of operating system when it comes to double honeycomb shades. The two shades share one window, but they are joined in the middle. These two shades are often chosen to be a combination of light-filtering and room darkening, so you can experience a wide range of light control while keeping your windows covered and protected from the heat. Cover the entire window with the light-filtering shade, or cover it completely with room darkening. Mix things up a bit by adjusting a little of both so you can experience customized light control.

Secondary Blackout Roller
Featuring a second shade behind the front shade is one of the more common ways to get double layer window shades in your home. This type of dual shades feature allows two window shades to share the same headrail, functioning independent of one another, so you can always have the type of light control you’d prefer. Both shades can also disappear up into the headrail, so you can enjoy your bare windows again if you’d like. Lower just the front, light-filtering shade for dynamic atmosphere–even view-through with certain fabrics. Then, begin lowering the secondary blackout roller shade down to gain the control you need, stopping at any point along the way.

Secondary Honeycomb Shade
Exclusive to our Provenance Woven Wood Shades collection, the secondary honeycomb shade is set to lower in place behind the decorative front woven shade. Enjoy the soft light that filters through the natural fibers of the woven wood shade materials. Then, when you need to control the temperature or block out the light, it’s easy to lower the cellular shade into place. The is the first time woven shades have had the opportunity to provide the highest window coverings standards for energy efficiency, and we can’t be more excited about this innovation.

A five star company in every way. 🙂 Dan CooperJuly 26, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the privilege of working with Lynn at Lūmora on new window coverings throughout our home earlier this year. Throughout the process, Lynn was an excellent communicator and went above and beyond to guide us through the sometimes overwhelming process. Even after one covering didn't quite turn out how we expected, she worked together with us to make sure we were happy. And I can say, we are very happy! I'd definitely recommend Lynn at Lūmora to anyone looking to update their home, be it 100 years old like ours, or even brand new construction. Thank you for the lovely window coverings and great customer service! Jen BlumJuly 17, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After completing our kitchen remodel, we needed new blinds for our main floor. Feeling a bit overwhelmed and unsure of where to start, we were fortunate to receive a recommendation for Lūmora. Sally’s help during the decision-making process was outstanding. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and had great suggestions that fit our needs. Ashley was also helpful when I stopped in the showroom, and the professional installation was flawless. I highly recommend Lūmora!

Lūmora was wonderful to work with, helping us find beautiful custom blinds for our entire home in the Ashbury neighborhood. Lynn went above and beyond, presenting us with a thoughtful gift after our first order was installed and offering us a returning customer discount when we finished the rest of our home blinds later. She and everyone at Lūmora were kind, efficient, and wonderful to work with! And costs were the same as Costco with much better quality. Would recommend them to anyone!
