Known for their incredible versatility and energy efficiency, cellular shades have an ingenious design and a clean, modern aesthetic. You might be more familiar with their other name – honeycomb shades — which comes from their honeycomb-shaped cells. Whatever you call them, these are some of the most popular window coverings on the market for many good reasons.
Advantage Blinds carries cellular shades near Prosper, TX, from premier brands like Hunter Douglas, Alta Window Fashions, and Norman® Window Fashions. It’s easy to see why our clients ask for them often, and we enjoy explaining how they work.
Hunter Douglas pioneered the cellular shade concept 40 years ago with their groundbreaking Duette® Cellular Shades. We feature this classic line plus an attractive hybrid honeycomb shade.
Known for the exquisite light it allows through and a myriad of high-quality fabrics, Duette® Cellular Shades fit horizontal windows measuring 4” to 174” wide and 6” to 144” high. The vertical applications range from 12” to 336” “ to 120” high. The pleat sizes for these shades are ⅜”, ¾". or 1¼".
Duette® Cellular Shades have several control options:
You can upgrade these cellular shades with exclusive high-end fabrics, blackout material, and see-through sheers.
Unique to Hunter Douglas, Sonnette® Roller Shades combine a roller shade and cellular design. The insulated roller shade fabric has a honeycomb layer, adding dimensional beauty and soft, radiant light. Like Duette® Cellular Shades, these come in different opacities and materials. They are available for horizontal windows measuring 15” to 84” wide and 12” to 84” high; the cell sizes are 2”.
Sonnette® Roller Shades have these control options:
Alta Window Fashions cellular shades use high-performance fabrics that retain their color and durability while filtering sunlight. They have six cell styles, with opacities ranging from sheer to blackout. These shades are also wrinkle- and stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Alta cellular shades have these control options:
Norman® Portrait™ high-end cellular shades have single or double cell layers and different cell widths. You’ll love looking through the many patterns and textures, including the stunning woven collection. Choose from different opacities, from sheer to blackout.
Norman® cellular shades have these control options:
Cellular shade fabrics have pleated cells in one or two layers. They open and close just like accordions; when open, the honeycomb-shaped cells trap air when you lower the shades, forming an insulating barrier between your home and the outside. Cellular shades come in various fabrics, colors, and pleat sizes, and we can customize them to fit different window shapes and sizes.
All window coverings provide at least some insulation against heat and cold, but cellular shades are the hands-down winner for the most protection from the elements. Window treatments earn a rating for their insulation, known as “R” or resistance rating. Higher numbers have the best cold- and heat-blocking properties, and most window coverings are from R0 to R3.
Cellular shades have impressive R-ratings from 3.5 to 3.7, which saves money on heating and cooling bills.
The U.S. Department of Energy posts that cellular shades can save consumers up to 20% on heating and 15% on utility bills for heating and cooling.
Besides their legendary energy efficiency, cellular shades have other great qualities, including:
