Cellular Shades

Insulating single-cell fabrics that cut heat gain and block 98% of UV.

Overview

Cellular Shades, Made to Your Measurements

Our Cellular Shade collection offers a variety of light-filtering and blackout 3/4" single cell fabrics to brighten up or darken any room, adding the warmth and flair you have been looking for. Not only are cellular shades fashionable, but they are
functional, too.

Honeycomb shades: the energy-efficient window shade

Cellular shades are also called honeycomb shades — the name comes from the air-trapping cells you see from the side. Those cells are what make them the most
energy-efficient window shade we install: an insulating layer at the glass that cuts heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. Available cordless or motorized, and in light-filtering or blackout fabrics.

Top-down bottom-up cellular shades

Most of the cellular shades we install are top-down bottom-up: the shade can open from the top to let light in over the sill while keeping the lower half covered for privacy — the usual answer for bathrooms, street-facing rooms and kitchens. Cordless lift is standard on this style.

FAQ

Custom Cellular Shades Questions

What are cellular shades?

Cellular (honeycomb) shades are made from fabric cells that trap air. Ours use a 3/4" single-cell fabric in light-filtering and blackout options. The cells add insulation, cutting heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter.

Do cellular shades insulate?

Yes — that’s their main advantage. The honeycomb structure creates an insulating layer at the glass, which helps reduce heat gain and makes rooms more comfortable year-round.

Are cellular shades out of style?

No. They remain one of the most popular shades because they work: clean lines, excellent light control, and real energy benefits. They pair well with modern and traditional rooms alike.

How do you clean cellular shades?

Regular light dusting or a gentle vacuum with a brush attachment keeps them fresh. For spots, dab with a damp cloth — don’t soak the fabric. We’ll cover care for your specific fabric at installation.
