What’s So Special About Cellular Shades?

Cellular, aka honeycomb shades, are not only super stylish but also provide superior window insulation. Duette® Cellular Shades have a honeycomb-like interior structure that traps air and absorbs sound to give you a more comfortable, peaceful home. Your windows are responsible for about 30% of your home’s energy usage, heating, and cooling. The insulation offered by honeycomb shades can reduce your home’s utility costs and energy usage by as much as 15-20%.

Cellular Shades are a Visual Heavyweight

“Visual weight” is a term used by interior designers to describe the way an item draws attention to itself. The pleated cells of honeycomb shades give them a substantial texture that packs a real punch when it comes to visual weight. You may not realize the significance of texture in a space until you’re in one without any. A room without texture will look dull and lifeless. Opt for the most prominent 1 ¼” wide pleats to dress oversized windows and the petite ⅜” wide cells for small or narrow windows.

Personalize Your Honeycomb Shades

Duette® Cellular Shades are available in over 150 color and fabric options, including selections from the exclusive Alustra® Collection. You can choose the top-down/bottom-up design for maximum light control and privacy. Another fantastic option is the Duolite® system that nests an opaque liner behind a sheer front shade. The LightLock® blackout system uses innovative side channels to absorb and deflect incoming light and is an ideal enhancement for bedrooms.

You can choose from several control options for your cellular shades. Enjoy the convenience of the award-winning PowerView® Automation system, or choose from various manual control systems, including the LiteRise® push/pull, UltraGlide® retractable wand, and EasyRise™ corded loop options. Effortlessly adjust cellular shades on skylights using the Simplicity™ system, available in vertical and horizontal orientations.
