Homes across Chesterfield, Buxton and the Peak District often experience sharper temperature changes — particularly in winter, when exposed locations, stone-built properties and large areas of glazing can affect everyday comfort.

What are Duette® blinds?(https://www.etienne.org.uk/Pleated/)

Duette blinds are a type of cellular (honeycomb) blind, designed with a pleated structure that traps air within hidden pockets at the window.

This honeycomb design creates an insulating layer between your room and the glass, helping to:

Reduce heat loss during colder months

Minimise draughts near windows and doors

Soften temperature swings throughout the year

For homes in Derbyshire — particularly those with larger windows or exposed locations — this can make rooms feel noticeably more comfortable.

What is PowerView® smart automation?

PowerView allows Duette blinds to move smoothly at the touch of a button or automatically on a schedule, making it easier to manage comfort day to day.

It’s especially useful in homes with:

Tall glazing

Roof lanterns

Hard-to-reach windows

Many homeowners use PowerView to close their blinds automatically as temperatures drop in the evening, adding an extra insulating layer at the glass — or to open them in the morning for natural light.

Do Duette blinds suit modern and traditional homes?

Yes. Duette blinds are known for their clean, understated appearance, making them a great fit for both contemporary homes and updated period properties across Chesterfield and Buxton.

Because they sit neatly within the window, they enhance the space without feeling heavy or intrusive.

Are blackout fabrics available?

Yes. Duette blinds are available in a range of fabric options, including blackout and room-darkening.

Blackout Duette blinds are particularly popular in bedrooms, especially where early morning light, street lighting or seasonal daylight changes affect sleep.

Are Duette blinds suitable for bifold doors?

Absolutely. Duette blinds work well across wide spans of glass, helping to:

Reduce glare on bright days

Improve insulation in winter

Maintain privacy without blocking light

PowerView automation ensures smooth, simple operation across larger installations.https://www.etienne.org.uk/Luxaflex/

Are Duette blinds suitable for conservatories?

Very much so. Conservatories and glazed extensions in the Peak District area often struggle with temperature extremes.(https://www.etienne.org.uk/Gable/)

Duette blinds help make these spaces more usable year-round by reducing heat loss in winter and limiting excessive solar gain in warmer months. PowerView allows multiple blinds to be controlled together with ease.

Do Duette blinds improve energy efficiency?

Yes. Thanks to their cellular honeycomb structure, Duette blinds are one of the most energy-efficient internal window coverings available.

By trapping air at the window, they help reduce heat transfer through glazing, supporting a more stable indoor temperature and improved comfort throughout the year.
