What Are Double-Cell Cellular Shades?
Cellular shades are an incredibly popular window treatment because they offer exceptional insulation at the window. They offer a wealth of other benefits, and as the saying goes, "If some is good, more must be better." That's precisely the case with double-cell shades. Rachel Brosky Interiors shares the specifics of double-cell cellular shades.
Basics of Cellular Shade Design
For customers unfamiliar with cellular shades, here's a quick rundown:
- Cellular shades feature a unique interior honeycomb-like structure that traps air to provide an extra layer of insulation on your windows.
- By trapping air, cellular shades offer unparalleled insulation to keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year.
- If you want window treatments with textural appeal, cellular shades are a fantastic choice.
- If you choose a sheer or light-filtering opacity material, you'll enjoy the gently diffused natural light that brings a soft glow to an entire room.
Benefits of Double-Cell Shades
Single-cell shades feature a single row of cells stacked vertically. Double-cell styles have two offset rows, one closer to the window and one closer to the room. This second row allows dual-cell cellular shades to provide twice the energy-efficient insulation. Cellular shades are also famous for their noise reduction, and double-cell shades bring twice the amount of this to the table. Double-cell shades eliminate the need to layer window treatments to keep your home warm in the winter. Regarding light control, double and single-cell shades are nearly equal. The accurate indicator of light control lies in the opacity of the shade's fabric.
Choosing Dual-Cell Cellular Shades
The second row of cells on Duette® Architella® Cellular Shades gives them a busier aesthetic than Duette® Cellular Shades. The cells of Duette® Architella® Cellular Shades must be smaller for the window to accommodate them. Double-cell cellular shades are excellent for slim or narrow windows because they're compatible with shallow mounting depth. Double cells' visual interest can be too overwhelming for more oversized windows.
Duette® Architella® Cellular Shades are available with the innovative LightLock® feature that reduces unwanted light by 50% more than shades without the component. In rooms where you need blackout capacity at night but want to enjoy natural light during the day, consider the top-down/bottom-up design for flexibility and a modern look. Double-cell cellular shades let you effortlessly create a cohesive interior with doors, skylights, and tilt-turn window style options.
