FABRIC RANGE
POLYESTER
History of polyester
• Polyester was invented by American Wallace Caruthers of Du Pont in 1941 by
combining Ethylene Glycol and Terephthalic acid to form Polyethylene Terephthalate
or PET
• Du Pont decided to concentrate on Nylon and British co ICI patented the PET and
created the first Polyester fibre and called it Terylene
• Du Pont purchased the US rights to Terylene in 1945 and in 1950 they produced their
own polyester called Dacron followed by Mylar
Spun Bonded Polyester
• Duette fabric is manufactured from spun bonded polyester (non-woven)
• The polyester material is heated to high temperatures to become fluid and passes
through tiny spinneret holes and is cooled turning it into fibres
• The fibres are spun out at high speed and land on a conveyer belt and form a web of
fabric
• It is then thermally bonded to complete the process.

CELL CONSTRUCTION DUETTE ARCHITELLA - UNIQUE CELL CONSTRUCTION Duette Architella shades have a patented honeycomb-within-a- honeycomb construction for a higher level of energy efficiency. Three distinct air pockets reduce heat transfer, helping to keep the home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. ILLUMACEL TRANSLUCENT Aurora fabrics feature Illumacell; a clear inner cell that allows light to filter through and illuminate the shade from top to bottom. 5|Page
INSULATION
WARMER IN WINTER, COOLER IN SUMMER
While the glass area of the home may account for about 10% of the external area, it is responsible
for up to 42% - 45% of unwanted heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Effective window
insulation can dramatically improve comfort and reduce energy costs.
All Luxaflex Soft Shades offer some degree of window insulation, however Duette and Duette
Architella provide the most energy efficiency.
The ultimate insulation solution is a fully recessed, reveal-mounted Duette Architella shade. It will
reduce heat transfer through a single- glazed window by 83% and has the potential to reduce
home heating costs by up to 43%.
Insulation is measured in R–Value. R-value is a rating which measures how well insulation can resist
heat flow. Duette Architella shades provide up to 33%* more insulation then standard insulation
options including double glazed windows.
The table below measures these insulation factors against other options that a consumer would
otherwise use in their home.

UNDERSTANDING R-VALUES A product’s “R-value” is a measurement of its ability to resist heat flow*. In a home during winter, R-values indicate the ability of walls, roofs and windows to keep the heat inside. The higher its R-value, the more insulation a product provides. A fully recessed, reveal-mounted Duette Architella shade can increase the R-value of a 3mm single glazed window from 0.13 to 0.78, reducing the heat transfer through that window by 83%. Independent modelling has shown that this in turn can reduce an average home’s heating costs by up to 43%^. * The R-values are the combined measurement of 3mm (one-eighth inch) CI glass (R=0.127) plus the window covering and are reported in metric SI units. Thermal properties are determined by a certified third-party laboratory utilising accepted ASTM, NFRC and WES standards and procedures. Measurements may vary based on window type and method of installation. ^ Savings are based on the installation of fully recessed, reveal-mounted Duette Architella Opaque Shades in an average home in Sydney, compared with the House Energy Rating standard of Holland Blinds from AccuRate, in that home. These calculations have been modelled by an independent third party. Savings will vary based on the window type and installation. 7|Page

CONFIGURATION
DAY/NIGHT OVERVIEW
The Day/Night Design option provides an all-in-one finish without a visible moving rail, for a
seamless integrated look.
The Signature Day/Night design integrates the rail into the fabric cell, to allow for the two-
separate fabric opacities to be teamed into one seamless fabric panel.
The Day/Night middle rail allows for the shade to be easily adjusted on-site if required.
DAY/NIGHT - ORDERING INFO
Day/Night is available with Duette Ultraglide, Literise & PowerView Shades.
• Day/Night can only be fabricated with the Sheer fabric on top and either the
translucent or blockout opacity on the bottom.
• Due to the specialized fabrication process of Day/Night Shades, this will be a fully
imported product from the USA which incurs slightly longer lead times.
• Not available in the 10mm fabric range.
• Not available with standard cord lock hardware.
11 | P a g eTOP DOWN/BOTTOM UP OVERVIEW The Top Down/Bottom Up design incorporates one fabric with the ability to manipulate light from the top and from the bottom while retaining a high level of privacy. Top Down/Bottom Up is available across a range of fabric options allowing for either Blockout, Translucent or Sheer fabric options. The Signature Top Down/Bottom Up design introduces a light seal to minimise light from the top. This feature ensures that the top rail seals itself with the headrail with a new lip at the back of the product for assistance. Duette Top Down/Bottom Up Shades are perfect for areas where you want to have more natural light into the room while allowing a high level of privacy. TOP DOWN/BOTTOM UP - ORDERING INFO Top Down, Bottom Up is available with Duette Ultraglide, Literise, Easyrise, PowerView & Standard Cord Lock in both 10mm & 20mm options. 12 | P a g e
SKYLIGHT MANUAL OPERATION - 10MM ONLY Maximum Width: 2600mm Maximum Drop: 2600mm This shade is hand or pole operated with a length up to 2500mm long. The shade can be installed in any position from horizontal to vertical. The shade has tension cords (to prevent fabric from sagging) and friction cords to prevent fabric sliding down the tension cords. The shade will stop in any position due to the friction cords. For Inside Fit, brackets are used for the head rail and the bottom rail is screwed directly to the frame. For Face Fit, brackets are supplied for both top and bottom rails. 13 | P a g e
LIMITATIONS All Duette Shades come with limitations by means of square metreage. It is best to work this out before looking at minimum and maximum widths/drops however this can be achieved on our order forms by simply entering width and drop. 14 | P a g e

21 | P a g eULTRAGLIDE The ultimate in convenient operation, the Ultraglide Operating System features a click and walk away system using a retractable wand mechanism to raise and lower shades. In an effort to move towards a seamless, cord-free product offering, the existing Ultraglide operating cord has been replaced with a retractable wand. This wand not only provides a sleek, clean finish, but also brings added strength, flexibility and enhanced child safety when operating the Duette Ultraglide System. The wand is soft-touch coated for a premium feel, while the teardrop-shaped tassel provides the perfect ergonomic operation. Wands are colour co-ordinated with the hardware and can be ordered in the following standard sizes - 305mm, 457mm, 610mm, 762mm, 915mm, 1066mm, 1219mm, 1600mm and 2134mm.

Available with Bottom Up, Top Down, Top-Down/Bottom-Up and, Day/Night configuration options. 22 | P a g e
ULTRAGLIDE WAND MEASURING GUIDELINES Control wands for Ultraglide Shades work best when ordered at a length approximately equal to the distance from the headrail to the shoulder of the user. The Ultraglide wand tassel should fall between the shoulder heights of the consumers in the home, as shown in the illustration below. 23 | P a g e
ULTRAGLIDE OPERATION
For smooth operation, keep the wand close to the fabric when raising and lowering the
shade.
TO LOWER THE SHADE
• Pull the wand toward the centre of the shade at about a 45° angle.
The locking mechanism at the top of the wand releases with a
“click.” The shade lowers as you allow the wand to return to the
vertical position.
IMPORTANT: The wand must be pulled in close to the front of the
shade. Do not pull the wand out away from the shade.
• To stop the shade while lowering, move the wand back toward the vertical position
and give a slight downward pull to engage the locking mechanism.
• If the shade hits an obstruction as it is lowered it will stop, which may cause the
cords in each cord rout to become misaligned. This may cause the shade to be
angled or tilted when fully raised. If this occurs, do the following:
➤ Raise the shade slightly.
➤ Lower the shade completely to the sill. In some cases, pull gently on the bottom
rail to get it to drop completely.
IMPORTANT: If the shade is tilted when fully raised, do not pull harder on the wand. It
does not correct the tilt and may make it worse.
TO RAISE THE SHADE
• Pull the wand straight down or slightly toward the outside.
➤ With each stroke the shade partially raises.
➤ Allow the wand to retract after each downward stroke.
➤ Use multiple strokes until the shade reaches the desired position.
DAY/NIGHT & TOP DOWN/BOTTOM UP SHADES
• To rate Day/Night and Top- Down/Bottom-Up shades, the right wand operates the
middle rail and the left wand operates the bottom rail (unless reverse controls were
specified on the order).
IMPORTANT: You must first lower the bottom rail before lowering the middle rail.
Likewise, you must first raise the middle rail before raising the bottom rail.

26 | P a g ePOWER SUPPLY OPTIONS
Each PowerView shade is available with either battery pack, DC power supply or Li-ion
External Battery Pack.
BATTERY WAND
• Replaceable batteries containing between 8 - 12 batteries
per wand (depending on width, size and configuration)
• For all Duette configurations, battery wand has two
placing locations;
o High Mount - Mounted behind the headrail or
o Low Mount - Mounted below the headrail
behind the fabric stack
• Skylift Shades less than 787mm in width, require a pre-
attached satellite battery pack (mounts behind the
bottom rail or outside opening).
• Skylif Shades greater than 787mm wide, will have the battery packs concealed in the
bottom rail.
• For Skylift shade less than 787mm wide, specify extension cable length: 380mm, 1.2M,
3M or 6M
• Average of 9 – 12 months of battery life before batteries will require replacement
(dependant on factors such as width, drop, how often shade is operated etc)
• Energizer Ultimate Alkaline AA batteries should be used when replacing the batteries
in the PowerView battery pack. Alkaline batteries are the optimum and
recommended choice for all Duette shades.
DC POWER PACK
DC Power allows the shade to be connected directly to power by means of a 3-pin-plug.
It is not recommended that the cable is cut and connected to direct current as this
converts 230 volts (standard home current) to 18 volts (required voltage for all Duette
Shades).
If requiring hardwiring, please refer to the www.mynzws.co.nz portal.
LI-ION EXTERNAL BATTERY PACK
The battery pack gives you the option to charge in-place or
at a position of your choice. The Li-ion battery chemistry
gives a prolonged operating life of between 9 - 12 months;
meaning recharge is only required once a year. We
recommend that you only use the charger supplied with
the battery pack to recharge the battery pack and typical
charging time from empty to fully charged is 3-4 hrs.
The brackets supplied with each battery pack are designed to be installed on a wall and
as such, are not designed to be installed on the back of the headrail of the shade.
Each Li-ion battery pack is supplied with the battery, charger and 2 x wall brackets.
NOTE: Available with all Duette Shades with the exception of Skylift operation

• For all bay windows that are not 90° right angles
• Determine where in the reveal the blind will sit
• Measure at the front edge where the headrails meet and write down butting
• Note where controls are on each end (Top down/Bottom up). Their width will increase
so they will need to move back in the opening as the controls clash and hold the
headrails apart
• The approximate gap between fabrics control to control will be 25mm
• The approximate gap between fabrics with control butting to non-control is 15mm
