Cater for all shapes and sizes with Softshades

It's amazing to see how windows have trended over the years. Over the last century, windows have gone from a simple feature in the home to one of the main focal points. So many modern homes are now designed with floor to ceiling windows, skylights and windows in weird and wonderful shapes and sizes.

However, one thing remains the same - windows can be a challenge to effectively cover - you need the right balance between light and privacy, not to mention the right look for your home.


The Luxaflex Softshades collection is a unique collection of window treatments that are non-traditional, soft and beautiful. They can provide a solution for one window or you can co-ordinate between the various products to create a unified look for your entire home. The challenge for many is covering large window expanses, including floor to ceiling windows, which Luxaflex has taken into consideration with Luxaflex Luminette Privacy Sheers. The sheers have a 180 degree rotation to control light and privacy when open and closed and can be operated with the Softrack Exclusive Track System, which features a scissor mechanism to perfectly align the vanes at all times.

When it comes to skylights and other weird and wonderfully shaped windows, Duette Shades were designed as a suitable option particularly for arched, sloped or hard to reach windows. Duette Shades are particularly unique as they are made from a spun bonded honeycomb structure fabric which makes them more energy efficient - an advantage for all homes year round as it means they also keep energy costs down.

All products in the Softshades collection are designed to complement each other and can be fully motorised. Other options include  Pirouette Shadings and Silhouette Shadings.

Searching for Skylight Blinds?

As if Luxaflex Duette Shades weren't unique enough with their honeycomb structure and energy efficient properties, they can also be fitted to skylights throughout your home.

A common problem with skylights is that they need to be operated manually - often resulting in you having to stand on a chair to pull down the blind by hand to shield the light. Duette Skylight Shades can be operated with PowerRise Platinum Technology - which means easy operation with an easy-to-use remote - imagine operating your blinds at the touch of a button!

What's more, Duette Skylight Shades can also be fitted to arched, sloped or hard to reach windows, so you can ensure that your home is protected from heat and glare, wherever your windows are situated. For the ultimate in light and heat control, choose light filtering or blockout fabrics.

Lastly, you won't need to spare a thought about struggling to clean your blinds, particularly when they are unreachable. Duette Skylight Shades are made from an anti-static spun bonded polyester fabric and are dust resistant, making them ideal for the family home. The fabric can be washed in water by hand and unlike some other cellular products, will not fall apart or lose shape.

With summer just around the corner, there is never a better time to beat the heat and glare with Duette Skylight Shades!
