DayNight Dual Cellular Shades

Why choose between light and darkness when you can have both—instantly? DayNight Dual Cellular Shades feature two independent honeycomb shades mounted on a single headrail: a light-filtering sheer panel and a 100% blackout panel. Operate them separately or together. During the day, lower the sheer panel to enjoy soft, diffused daylight and preserve your view. At night, lower the blackout panel for complete privacy and total darkness. Or lower both for maximum insulation and noise reduction. The two shades share the same fabric family and color, ensuring a coordinated look whether one or both are lowered. This is the ultimate solution for rooms that serve multiple purposes: nurseries (naps by day, sleep by night), home theaters (movies anytime), and bedrooms (partner-friendly light zoning). Available in ¾-inch and 1⅛-inch single-cell constructions. Custom‑sized to your exact window dimensions, with cordless, continuous cord loop, or motorized operation. Two shades, one headrail, infinite possibilities.

Two Independent Shades, One Headrail

The DayNight system mounts two complete cellular shades on a single headrail, using the same mounting brackets as a standard shade. Each panel operates independently via its own lift mechanism (cordless, wand, or motorized). Because both shades share one headrail, the installation footprint is identical to a single shade—no added width, no extra brackets. The blackout panel sits closest to the window; the sheer panel faces the room.

Sheer Panel: Soft, Diffused Daylight

The sheer panel is crafted from light‑filtering cellular fabric with a 5% openness factor, offering:

  • Daytime privacy with no visible interior detail

  • Glare reduction for screens and TVs

  • Approximately 85% UV protection

  • Soft, ambient illumination with gentle view‑through

Lower the sheer panel independently when you want light without exposure.

Blackout Panel: Total Darkness

The blackout panel uses our TripleCell 100% blackout fabric, integrating a light‑absorbing black layer within the cell wall. When lowered, it delivers complete, verifiable darkness—ideal for sleep, movies, or full privacy. It can be lowered independently, allowing you to maintain the sheer panel’s decorative softness while achieving full blackout performance.

Coordinated Colors

Both panels are available in matching colors from the Essential 8 palette and select designer shades. The sheer panel appears slightly lighter due to its translucence, but the color family remains consistent. When both panels are lowered, the sheer panel provides the visual finish while the blackout panel handles the light control.

Motorization with Presets

For seamless transitions, motorization is highly recommended. Program:

  • Day Mode — Sheer lowered, blackout raised

  • Night Mode — Blackout lowered, sheer raised

Switch modes with a single tap on your smartphone or remote. Integration with Alexa, Google, and Control4 enables voice control and scheduling.

Ideal for Nurseries, Bedrooms & Media Rooms

DayNight shades are the top choice for:

  • Nurseries — Sheer for playtime, blackout for naps and nighttime

  • Couples — One partner enjoys soft light while the other sleeps in darkness

  • Home theaters — Instantly shift from bright family room to dark cinema

  • Shift workers — Blackout for daytime sleep, sheer for evening hours

Space‑Saving Design

Unlike stacking two separate headrails, the DayNight system adds only 1 inch to total headrail depth, making it ideal for windows with limited overhead clearance. The headrail can be enclosed in a fabric‑wrapped cassette or aluminum valance for a fully finished look.
