Smart Value, Quality Construction
Applause shares the cellular technology that made Duette® famous, delivering excellent energy efficiency at a more accessible price:
Energy-saving design:
- Honeycomb cells trap air for insulation
- Reduces heat transfer through windows
- Helps lower heating and cooling costs
Quality features:
- Crisp, even pleats that hold their shape
- Anti-static, dust-resistant fabric
- Durable construction for years of use
For budget-conscious Ottawa homeowners who want cellular shade performance without premium pricing, Applause is the smart choice.
LightLock™ Available
Like Duette, Applause is available with LightLock™—Hunter Douglas's ultimate room-darkening solution. The unique side channel system absorbs and deflects light that would otherwise seep around shade edges.
Perfect for:
- Bedrooms requiring complete darkness
- Nurseries for better nap times
- Media rooms and home theatres
- Shift workers needing daytime sleep
LightLock transforms Applause from good blackout to exceptional blackout at a fraction of premium shade costs.
Easy, Safe Operation
Applause offers multiple child-safe operating systems:
- System / Description
- LiteRise® / Cordless push/pull
- UltraGlide® / Retractable cord
- Vertiglide™ / Vertical for sliding doors
- PowerView® / Full motorization
All cordless options meet Health Canada safety regulations. Motorization is available for hard-to-reach windows and smart home integration.
Colors & Options
Applause fabrics cover the essentials:
- Light-filtering for living spaces
- Room-darkening for bedrooms
- Popular neutral and contemporary colors
- ¾" and 1¼" cell sizes
While the fabric selection is more focused than Duette's extensive library, Applause covers the colors and opacities most homeowners need. Our specialists can help you determine if Applause meets your requirements or if Duette's expanded options are worth the upgrade.
