DuoTone Dual Fabric Honeycomb Shades

Why should the back of your shade match the front? DuoTone Dual Fabric Honeycomb shades allow you to specify different fabric colors for the room side and the street side of the same shade. This is the perfect solution for homes with distinct interior and exterior color schemes, or for rooms where you want the shade to recede from the outside but make a statement inside. The two fabrics are ultrasonically welded at the cell edges, creating a seamless, durable bond. Choose from our full palette of 30+ colors, mix and match opacities (e.g., light-filtering interior face, blackout exterior face), and even combine different cell sizes (subject to compatibility). Available in ¾-inch and 1⅛-inch single-cell constructions. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with cordless, continuous cord loop, top-down/bottom-up, or motorized operation. Two faces, one shade, endless possibilities.

Two Independent Fabric Faces

DuoTone shades are built with two separate fabric layers—one facing the room, one facing the window—welded together at the top, bottom, and each cell division. Each layer may use a different color, opacity, or even fabric type (subject to compatibility). The two layers are permanently bonded and will not separate over time.

Interior / Exterior Coordination

  • Curb Appeal — Specify a neutral, uniform exterior color so all windows appear consistent from the street, even if interior colors vary.

  • Interior Design Freedom — Choose any interior‑facing color that complements your room’s palette, independent of the exterior requirement.

  • HOA Compliance — Meet mandated exterior color standards while enjoying full creative freedom inside your home.

Mixed Opacity Combinations

DuoTone shades can pair different opacity levels on each face. Popular combinations include:

  • Light‑Filtering interior + Blackout exterior — Soft, luminous interior; total darkness from the outside

  • Room‑Darkening interior + Light‑Filtering exterior — Balanced privacy and daylight control

  • Blackout interior + Light‑Filtering exterior — Maximum darkness indoors with a consistent exterior appearance

All opacities are available across the full color palette.

Ideal for Multi‑Family & Planned Communities

DuoTone shades are the top choice for condominiums, townhomes, and communities with strict exterior appearance guidelines. They allow residents to personalize their interiors while maintaining a uniform, HOA‑approved streetscape. Bulk pricing is available for community‑wide installations.

Technical Compatibility

Not all fabric pairings are feasible. Our online configurator automatically checks for:

  • Thickness compatibility — Both fabrics must be similar in thickness to weld correctly

  • Cell size compatibility — Both layers must use the same cell size

  • Opacity compatibility — Certain blackout fabrics cannot be paired with specific sheers

If a combination is not viable, the system alerts you before checkout.

Custom Color Matching

For large‑scale or design‑driven projects, we offer custom color matching for both faces of DuoTone shades. Minimums apply (typically 50 yards per color). Contact our commercial sales team for a detailed quote.
