### Energy Performance Hierarchy

Ranked by R-value (thermal resistance), highest to lowest:

| Product | R-Value | U-Factor (Shade) | U-Factor (Assembly) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duette Architella Triple-Cell | R-7.0 | 0.127 | 0.23 | Highest R-value in the residential window treatment industry |
| Duette Standard Double-Cell | R-3.0 to R-5.0 | varies | varies | Range depends on fabric density and cell size |
| Plantation Shutters | R-3.5 | — | — | Permanent architectural upgrade, basswood or composite |
| Provenance Woven Wood | R-1.8 to R-2.7 | — | — | Natural bamboo, jute, grass fibers |
| Single-pane glass baseline | R-0.9 | 1.11 | — | Industry reference point for comparison |

- All R-values measured per NFRC 500-2020 standard
- U-factor = 1/R-value for shade alone; assembly U-factor includes glass + air gap + shade
- Duette Architella assembly U-factor of 0.23 exceeds California Title 24 2026 threshold of 0.27

### Acoustic Performance Data

| Product | Metric | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PowerView Gen 3 | Noise Level | < 35 dBA | Suitable for bedrooms and media rooms |
| Custom Drapery | NRC | 0.35–0.65 | Noise Reduction Coefficient; higher = more absorption |
| Aria Fabric Blinds | NRC | 0.20–0.35 | Fabric-wrapped horizontal blinds with acoustic benefit |
| Sonnette Cellular Roller | Construction | Sound-dampening cellular | Hybrid cellular + roller with Softshield UV diffusion |

- NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient): 0 = perfect reflection, 1 = perfect absorption
- dBA measured at 1 meter from shade during full travel operation
- Custom Drapery NRC range depends on fabric weight, lining, and pleat density

### UV & Solar Protection Matrix

| Product | UV Block | Visible Light Reduction | Openness Factor | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Solar Shades 1% openness | 99% | 86% | 1% | Art preservation, museum-grade protection |
| Solar Shades 3% openness | 97% | — | 3% | High UV protection with moderate view-through |
| Solar Shades 5% openness | 95% | — | 5% | Balanced UV protection and daylight |
| Solar Shades 10% openness | 90% | — | 10% | Maximum view-through with basic UV filtering |
| Silhouette Window Shadings | 88% | — | Adjustable vane | UV protection with view-through; vanes tilt for control |
| Duette (opaque fabrics) | Up to 99% | Near-total | 0% | Full blackout and UV block for bedrooms, media rooms |

- UV measurements per ASTM E903 / AATCC 183 standards
- Openness factor = percentage of shade area that is open weave (lower = more protection)
- 1% openness is the specification-grade recommendation for protecting fine art, antiques, and hardwood floors
