Operation made easy

• Manual crank as standard. Designed for straight drop applications, the 9:1 gear ratio ensures easy operation that is not dependent on strength—ideal for awnings that cover up to 25m2.
• STC Awnings can be fitted with a unique spring mechanism. This intuitive operating system allows you to raise or lower the bottom rail by hand, setting it at the desired height.
• We partner with Somfy®, the largest and most trusted name in home automation, to offer motorised Evo Awnings, allowing for operation via the touch of a button or wall switch. Ideal for awnings that cover up to 32m2. Via Somfy Connexion, you can also control or schedule Evo Screens via a smart device or voice control.

Four models offering various levels of functionality

• Evo Straight Drop: Great cover at a great price; this entry-level awning is secured to the ground using either locking bolts or straps.
• Evo Cable Guide: Featuring high tensile 2.5mm 316 grade marine stainless steel cable guides, this awning can be positioned at any height on the drop. A great solution for coastal applications.
• Evo Pivot Arm: This awning can either project from the window to achieve airflow and sun protection or be extended to a 75-degree angle to operate similarly to our Straight Drop.
• Evo Side Tension Channel (STC): This awning ensures fabric is tensioned within a floating channel, effectively enclosing the likes of balconies to create an instant outdoor room.

Energy-efficient insulation

Studies show that windows are responsible for up to 30% of your home’s energy losses. Duette shades trap air in distinct pockets, creating exceptional insulation in both warm and cool climates.

Our latest innovation, Duette Architella®, features a honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design for even greater energy efficiency. Increasing the R-value of a 3mm single glazed window from 0.127 up to 0.775, they make for a perfect solution when retro-fitting existing windows.

An extensive choice of innovative operating systems to pick from

• UltraGlide®: Replaces a traditional cord with a retractable soft-touch wand and click and walkaway functionality.
• LiteRise: Forgoing cords and wands completely, this intuitive option features a perfectly balanced spring reaction system, allowing you to move the shade by hand and set it at the height you desire.
• PowerView® Automation: A completely cordless battery-operated system allowing for one-touch operation. With PowerView, Duette Shades can be controlled via remote control, smart device or voice control. Read more about our powerful Duette Shades and PowerView integration here.

Incredibly versatile

Duette Shades are designed to fit almost any window size and shape. Made to measure, Duette Shades lend themselves to difficult window applications, including skylights, bay windows and numerous shapes. But their versatility doesn’t stop there. A range of options exists to enhance their function that goes beyond our standard bottom-up operation.

• Top-down: Allows the shade to cover the lower part of the window whilst allowing light and view from the top. A great option for privacy.
• Top-Down / Bottom-Up: Provides complete versatility allowing the shades to be open from the top, from the bottom, or even somewhere in between for the perfect balance of light and privacy.
• Day-Night: This shade has a seamless central rail separating two fabrics (like blockout and sheer). The rail can be raised or lowered at any time to expose the desired area of either fabric.
