Match the Movement of the Glass
They tilt in at an angle; they turn in like a door. There are lots of opportunities for fresh air and outdoor views, but coverage is tricky. With TrackGlide, the honeycomb shades glide up and down on a track that moves with the window–staying on the glass no matter the position. Enjoy light control and privacy without a hassle.
Benefits of Honeycomb Shades
Because the TrackGlide system comes with Duette Honeycomb shades, you get all of the benefits of this versatile collection, which happens to be a favorite for Denver area homeowners. Full light control and comfortable privacy top the list, along with the cordless design and incredible energy efficiency. If that’s not enough, you can opt for additional features, such as room darkening or top down bottom up.
The Track Details
Two narrow tracks run alongside the window frame, adhered in place. The honeycomb shades are attached inside of these tracks, gliding up and down to provide customized light control, privacy and energy efficiency. This narrow track works beautifully for shallow windows, french doors and tilt turn windows. Because they do not require drilling, the tracks can accommodate shades almost anywhere.

FAQ for Covering Tilt Turn Windows
We are excited to show you the possibilities that come with installing the TrackGlide system for your tilt turn windows and a new way to cover french doors. Let’s explore common questions we hear from homeowners…
Can tilt turn windows be covered without stopping the function?
Yes, the TrackGlide narrow track is adhered to the edges of the window. That means the window moves and the honeycomb shades move with it. Whether you are opening or closing tilt-turn windows, the window coverings match that movement, staying out of the way and allowing coverage in every position, for light control, privacy, sound absorption and energy efficiency.
What are the best window treatments for tilt turn windows?
We offer cellular shades from the Duette honeycomb shade collection. These are the cellular shades that work with the specific track of the TrackGlide system. The fabric opacity will determine if you have more or less light entering your home through these specialty windows. We offer translucent options with ClearView fabrics, light filtering fabrics and room darkening fabrics. They are always energy efficient, due to the cellular construction. You may choose other features, such as top down bottom up, to invite light in across the top part of the window, even as the bottom remains covered.
Where do you offer in-home consultations?
We serve Denver and the Front Range, from Boulder to Castle Rock and from Aurora to Eagle–and everywhere in between!
Are tilt turn window coverings on display in the showrooms?
Yes, we have three local window treatment showrooms for you to see tilt turn blinds on display, including Park Meadows in Centennial, Cherry Creek in Denver, or our Wheat Ridge location. Call ahead to check on display availability. Summit County homes are visited with in-home consultations by appointment only.
How is the measurement and installation processes handled?
Our team begins by taking professional measurements in your home. Once the window shade order has been placed, it can take 6-8 weeks for the products to arrive, based on the availability through Hunter Douglas. We handle professional installation, ensuring that your beautiful tilt turn shades are installed properly and function as intended. Tilt turn coverings can take 1-2 hours per room to install, depending on the windows and product sizing.
Are tilt turn blinds considered blackout or energy efficient?
Yes, they are energy efficient, due to the cellular structure of the honeycomb shades. They stop direct light at the window and insulate to prevent exterior air from influencing the interior air temperature. If you would like to prevent the majority of light from entering, we can help you select the right blackout fabrics for your home.
