Otherwise known as Honeycomb Blinds or Cellular Honeycomb Shades, refer to a type of window shade or blind that maximizes energy efficiency and sound reduction by using small honeycomb structures to trap air.

Cellular shades provide room darkening, light filtering, and privacy control through their unique composition and installation. Although these shades are a popular choice for larger windows, they come in a large variety of types and styles to fit any home.

Cellular shades work by creating a pocket of air between your room and the window using unique honeycomb fabric construction. Although this structure provides sound insulation as well as some heat control, the added insulation also increases the energy efficiency of any room, reducing heat loss and cooling costs.

• Top Down/Bottom Up – This option allows the operator to simultaneously lower the top of the screen and raise the bottom to maximize privacy while minimizing light. This option gives the greatest amount of flexibility in shade control.
• Top Down – Unlike the Top Down/Bottom Up feature, this option only allows the operator to raise the shade from the windowsill, minimizing the variations in light and privacy control. Although Top Down cellular shades models come in larger sizes, they are generally not the ideal choice for most windows.
• Two Blinds in One – Two types of fabric are used for this cellular shades option: One on the bottom rail and one on the top. This feature allows for light filtering during the day and room darkening at night using two different cellular fabrics. Although the fabrics do not overlap, the combination does provide for maximum flexibility in light and privacy control.
