Duette blinds are a luxurious and practical form of window decoration with a unique honeycomb structure. This double fabric layer provides a calm appearance, good light control, and extra insulation.

At Port of Altea, we supply duette blinds fully custom-made for homes on the Costa Blanca. We advise on the right fabric, operation, and installation, measure carefully, and if desired, also take care of the installation.

What are duette blinds?

Duette blinds resemble pleated blinds, but have a double honeycomb structure. This creates a stationary air layer in the fabric, which helps with insulation against heat and cold.

This makes duette blinds particularly suitable for homes in Spain, where sun, warmth, and comfort play a major role.

Extra insulation against heat and cold

The honeycomb structure of duette blinds helps to keep heat out better in summer and retain heat inside in winter.

For homes on the Costa Blanca, this can be a great advantage, especially with large windows, bedrooms, and rooms with a lot of direct sunlight.

Duette blinds are therefore not only beautiful but also functional.

Top Down Bottom Up operation

Like pleated blinds, duette blinds can be equipped with Top Down Bottom Up operation.

This allows you to operate the blind both from top to bottom and from bottom to top. This way, you decide where privacy is needed while still letting daylight in.

This is ideal for apartments, bedrooms, bathrooms, and homes with views from the street or neighbors.

Duette blinds for tilt-and-turn windows

Many homes on the Costa Blanca have tilt-and-turn windows. Duette blinds are very suitable for these because they can be mounted directly on the window or frame.

The window continues to function normally and the blind moves along when the window is opened or tilted.

Duette blinds without drilling

For plastic and aluminum frames, there are systems available where duette blinds can be installed without drilling.

This is ideal when you do not want to damage the frame or when drilling is not possible.

We are happy to advise which system best suits your windows.

Duette curtains in tape-frame

A popular solution is the tape-frame system. Here, an aluminum frame with special mounting tape is attached to the window frame.

The duette curtain is neatly placed in the frame, making it one with the window.

This solution is especially suitable for tilt-and-turn windows, aluminum frames, and plastic frames.

See here how we install a duette curtain in a tape-frame.

Light-filtering duette curtains

Light-filtering duette fabrics softly filter daylight. This keeps the room bright and pleasant while reducing visibility from outside.

This version is popular in living rooms, kitchens, home offices, and spaces where privacy is desired without completely blocking out light.

Blackout duette curtains

For bedrooms, blackout duette curtains are an excellent choice. They limit light entry and provide more peace and comfort.

For maximum blackout, duette curtains can optionally be combined with blackout curtains.

Duette curtains or pleated curtains?

Duette curtains and pleated curtains look similar, but there is an important difference. Pleated curtains consist of a single folded fabric layer, while duette curtains have a double honeycomb structure.

Because of this structure, duette curtains provide more insulation and a slightly fuller appearance.

Duette curtains or roller blinds?

Are you unsure between duette curtains and roller blinds? Roller blinds are sleek and simple, while duette curtains offer more flexibility in operation and insulation.

For windows where comfort, privacy, and insulation are important, duette curtains are often an excellent choice.

Professional measuring and installation

Duette curtains must be measured precisely, especially when placed in a frame or tape-frame.

That is why we provide the complete process from advice and measuring to delivery and installation if desired.

We work in Altea, Albir, Calpe, Benissa, Moraira, Jávea, Dénia, Benidorm, La Nucía, Villajoyosa, Guardamar, and surrounding areas.
