Hunter Douglas' Duette Architella Honeycomb Shades Now Eligible for Federal Tax Credits

Consumers may now have the opportunity to save on their energy bills and their taxes with Duette® Architella® honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas, North America's leading manufacturer and marketer of custom window coverings.

Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, federal tax credits for energy-efficient products are available for 30 percent of the cost of most Duette Architella shades, up to a maximum of $1,500 in total, when purchased and installed through December 31, 2010, provided the expense meets the tax guidelines. Highly insulating Duette Architella shades, which can more than double the energy efficiency of a window, are the first and only window shades to qualify for the tax credit without add-on insulation systems.

"Uncovered windows can literally be energy holes, depleting a home of up to half of its heating and cooling energy dollars," said Marv Hopkins, Hunter Douglas President and CEO. "We specifically designed and developed the award-winning, strikingly beautiful Duette Architella shade -- our most energy-efficient product and the fastest-growing innovation in the extremely popular cellular category -- to address this problem. This takes the air-trapping cellular structure of our original Duette honeycomb shade and makes it even more energy-efficient by placing a cell within a cell."
