Good news Hunter Douglas dealers: the company has just announced that its Duette Honeycomb Shades are eligible for 2023 tax credits regarding energy efficient home improvements. This means homeowners that opt for select Hunter Douglas Honeycomb Shades reduce roughly 30% of the cost–up to $1,200–through annual federal tax credits, adding a nice selling point onto the product.
