WHAT ARE Cellular/Honeycomb Shades?
Cellular shades, also known as "honeycomb" shades due to its distinctive shape, and the interior looks like rows of tiny hexagons. What truly sets them apart, however, is their energy-saving ability. The unique honeycomb structure of these shades traps air, acting as an insulating barrier that helps regulate the temperature in your room. By preventing hot and cold air from easily entering or escaping, cellular shades help maintain a comfortable environment throughout the year, reducing energy costs.
Why Choose Cellular/Honeycomb Shades
- Superior Insulation: Cellular shades provide excellent insulation, keeping your room warm in winter and cool in summer. The honeycomb design makes them the most energy-efficient option, with varying levels of insulation available to suit your needs.
- Light Filtering and Blackout Options: Choose between light filtering fabrics for soft, diffused light with privacy or blackout fabrics with a mylar lining for complete darkness and privacy, perfect for sleep.
- Sleek Design: With a slim-profile headrail and minimal stacking, cellular shades offer a clean, modern look. Their sleek design allows for easy layering with other treatments like drapery for a polished finish.
Important Considerations
Before choosing Cellular/Honeycomb Shades, keep these points in mind:
- Cell Size Matters: The size of the cells affects both the look and function of your shades. Smaller cells are easier to maneuver and fit well in narrow spaces, but they can appear busier with their smaller rows. Larger cells provide better insulation and a more streamlined appearance, though they may not be suitable for all window sizes.
- Light Control: Unlike mini blinds, honeycomb shades don’t offer the same level of adjustability. The amount of light that enters the room when the shades are closed depends on the fabric's opacity. Carefully consider your needs when choosing between sheer, solid, or blackout options for your space.
- Material Sensitivity: Honeycomb shades are made from soft fabrics, which can absorb moisture and odors over time. Avoid installing them in areas with high humidity or moisture, such as near stoves, sinks, or showers, to preserve their appearance and longevity.
