Tandem Shades

Tandem shades, also called ‘dual shades’ because they provide two treatments in one operation system, are an excellent way to add style and enhance light control and privacy. Dual shades create an engaging, dynamic statement without being too bold. The design professionals at Simply Windows are ready to help you create a window treatment that’s uniquely yours with tandem shades.

Why choose dual window shades instead of layered window treatments? Drapery or shutters paired with shades or blinds look lovely, but it’s not an aesthetic for everyone. Two shades in one provide a clean, uncluttered look perfect for a contemporary or minimalist décor style. A dual shade system gives you more flexibility regarding daytime privacy and light control at night.

Hunter Douglas Duolite®

The innovative Duolite® system from Hunter Douglas allows you to enjoy both a light-filtering and room-darkening fabric on a single shade. This feature is offered on several shades offered by Hunter Douglas, including Vignette® Modern Roman Shades. Choose from more than 25 fabric and colors options for this contemporary take on a classic Roman shade. Opt for a sheer or light-filtering shade in the front and a room-darkening opaque shade behind it for total control of your privacy and incoming light.

Duolite® is also available on Duette® Honeycomb Shades. Honeycomb shades are an amazing window treatment in their own right. The cellular construction traps air to help keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year long. Duette Honeycomb Shades are offered in over 150 fabric and color choices and three pleat sizes to perfectly complement any size window. These shades also absorb sound to reduce exterior noise.

Tandem Shades by Norman®

SmartFit® Dual Shades with Frame set the bar for tandem shades just a little higher. The separation of the shades allows for nearly endless design combinations. You can use the shades independently or together for the effect of blackout shades with the restriction of a solo window treatment.

The integrated wood frame is available in your choice of style and color and provides a sophisticated, stylish accent to your window shades. The coverage provided by the frame ensures exceptional light control and privacy and is especially well suited for French doors and skylights. The award-winning SmartFit® design is cordless and offers the convenience of top-down/bottom-up operation. You can cover even the widest of windows with SmartFit® Dual Shades thanks to T-posts that allow for several shades to be hung side by side. These shades also offer the enhanced energy efficiency of honeycomb construction. Enjoy improved acoustics, lessened exterior noise, and a more consistent interior temperature no matter what the weather is.
