LightControl Cellular Shades – Complete Opacity Collection

Light control is not a single setting—it's a spectrum of possibilities. LightControl Cellular Shades bring together every opacity option we offer, allowing you to select the exact level of daylight management your space requires. From the soft, ethereal glow of our 5% openness light-filtering fabric to the cave-like darkness of our TripleCell 100% blackout construction, you'll find a solution that matches your needs and your aesthetic. And because these are cellular shades, you also get the added benefits of thermal insulation, noise reduction, and energy savings—regardless of which opacity you choose. All opacities are available in the same colors and cell configurations, allowing you to mix and match throughout your home while maintaining visual continuity. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with cordless, continuous cord loop, top-down/bottom-up, or motorized operation. Light control, perfected.

Three Distinct Opacity Levels

  • Light‑Filtering (5% openness) — Soft, diffused daylight with daytime privacy and 85% UV blockage. Ideal for living areas, kitchens, and home offices.

  • Room‑Darkening (80% light block) — Reduced glare, enhanced privacy, and moderate light absorption. Perfect for bedrooms, media rooms, and nurseries.

  • Blackout (100% light block) — Total darkness with zero light transmission. Essential for shift workers, home theaters, and light‑sensitive sleepers.

All opacities share the same face fabric and color palette; the blackout version simply adds a white backing while maintaining true color on the room side.

Consistent Color Across Opacities

A common frustration with window coverings is that the same color looks different in light‑filtering versus blackout fabrics. LightControl eliminates this issue through dye‑lot matching and opacity‑calibrated substrates. The face fabric remains identical across all opacity levels; only the backing changes. When viewed from the room, the color is indistinguishable—ideal for open‑concept homes where multiple opacities are used.

One Shade, Many Rooms

  • Living Room — Light‑filtering for soft daytime ambiance

  • Home Office — Light‑filtering for glare‑free screens

  • Bedroom — Room‑darkening or blackout for restful sleep

  • Nursery — Blackout for naps, light‑filtering for playtime

  • Home Theater — Blackout for complete darkness

All with coordinated colors and consistent honeycomb performance.

Thermal & Acoustic Benefits at Every Opacity

Regardless of opacity, the honeycomb structure traps still air and dampens sound. LightControl shades reduce heat transfer by 25–45% and perceived noise by 25–35%, depending on cell size and configuration. Opacity affects light transmission—not insulation.
