Two-fabric layered blinds — alternating sheer and solid horizontal stripes that align for daytime view-through or offset for blackout privacy. The most flexible single-blind specification available.
A Duplex (or Duo) shade is a single roller blind made of two layers of striped fabric — alternating bands of sheer and solid material. Sliding one layer relative to the other aligns the sheer stripes for daytime view-through, or offsets them so the solid stripes overlap for full privacy. One blind, two completely different functions.
A continuous-loop chain (or motorised drive) rotates the inner tube — sliding the two fabric layers relative to each other. Pull one direction: sheer stripes align for daytime view-through. Pull the other: solid stripes overlap for evening privacy. The transition is smooth and infinitely adjustable.
Duplex shades replace the traditional sheer + blackout dual-track combo with a single elegant blind — saving wall depth, eliminating an extra track, and delivering a modern striped aesthetic that looks intentional in both alignments. The default specification for modern apartments and budget-conscious villa schemes.
Duplex shades use UV-stable polyester face fabrics, anodised aluminium dual-tube housings, and FR-certified hospitality-grade options — engineered for 15+ years of daily operation. The two-layer construction adds a small amount of thermal insulation over single-layer rollers, reducing solar heat gain in Gulf summer.
Independently tested and certified to international standards.
Four duplex configurations for residential, hospitality, and modern commercial.
Sheer + dim-out striped fabric — the default duplex specification. Day-mode aligns sheer stripes for view-through; night-mode offsets to dim-out stripes for soft privacy without complete blackout. The most popular and cost-effective duplex spec.
Sheer + blackout-coated striped fabric — combining day-mode view-through with full 100% blackout when offset. The premium specification for master bedrooms and hotel suites where total darkness is required without sacrificing daytime view through a single blind.
Wider stripes, contrasting colour stripes, jacquard-textured solids, and design-led patterns — duplex shades upgraded with statement aesthetics. The choice for boutique hospitality, designer residential, and commercial schemes where the stripe pattern itself is part of the interior design.
Motorised duplex systems with smart-home and BMS integration, FR-certified hospitality grades, custom stripe widths, and project-specific bespoke fabric matching for high-end residential, premium hospitality, and signature commercial schemes.
Specified across modern apartments, villas, hotels, and commercial residential.
