Cell size does not tell you the height of a fully raised shade. Use the complete stack and mounting reference to compare how much glass stays exposed.

Choosing 3/8 vs 5/8 cellular shades is mainly a choice between two pleat scales within the products that offer them. Both can be single-cell shades. The fraction does not tell you whether the shade has one, two or three layers of cells, and it cannot establish which complete product will insulate your window better.

No-drill cellular shades fit only when the actual opening can support the selected headrail. The useful first measurement is usable mounting space, not the overall width of the sill or the depth of decorative trim.

The important difference between the two SenseBlinds day-night cellular shade models is the upper fabric.

Choose between softened daylight without an outdoor view through the cellular panel and a sheer upper section that preserves a filtered view.

A water-repellent shade spray rating describes how a fabric surface responds to a controlled spray test. It can help you compare a documented finish, but it does not establish that a complete window shade can withstand a shower, immersion or water reaching its controls.
