Homes across Bedfordshire often have a mix of older glazing and modern extensions, which can make temperature control tricky — especially through late winter and early spring.(https://www.patternmatch.co.uk/page-4/)

That’s why many homeowners in Bedford, Ampthill, Flitwick and surrounding villages are choosing Duette® blinds by Luxaflex, paired with PowerView® smart automation for everyday comfort that quietly fits into modern living.

What are Duette blinds?

Duette blinds feature a honeycomb structure within the fabric. These hidden air pockets form an insulating layer at the window, helping rooms feel warmer in winter and more balanced throughout the year.

Homeowners often notice:

Less chill near the glass

Fewer draughty spots

A more even temperature across the room

What is PowerView® automation?

PowerView® is Luxaflex’s smart automation system, allowing Duette blinds to open and close smoothly at the touch of a button — or automatically on a schedule.

In Bedfordshire homes, PowerView is often used to:

Close blinds as daylight fades to help retain warmth

Open blinds in the morning for natural light

Manage large or hard-to-reach windows with ease

It’s also a discreet, child-safe solution with no visible cords.

Are Duette blinds still in style?

Yes. In 2026, homeowners want interiors that feel calm, practical and uncluttered. Duette blinds suit that perfectly — particularly in open-plan living spaces, kitchen extensions and bedrooms.

PowerView automation adds convenience without changing the look of the blind itself.

Are blackout Duette blinds available?

Yes. Duette blinds are available in light-filtering, room-darkening and blackout fabrics. Blackout options are especially popular in bedrooms, where accurate measuring helps minimise light gaps.

Are Duette blinds good for bifold doors?

Very much so. Duette blinds work well on bifold and patio doors, helping manage glare and heat loss while maintaining privacy. PowerView makes day-to-day use even easier, especially across wide spans of glass.

Are Duette blinds suitable for conservatories?

Yes. Conservatories across Bedfordshire often suffer from temperature extremes. Duette blinds help reduce heat loss in winter and control sunlight in warmer months — with PowerView allowing easy control across multiple blinds at once.

Do Duette blinds improve energy efficiency?

Duette blinds are one of the most energy-efficient internal window coverings available. Their insulating design helps reduce heat transfer through glazing, supporting a more comfortable home with less reliance on heating and cooling.
