What’s the difference between cellular shades and other shades?

Cellular shades are made of fabric folded into small honeycomb-shaped pockets. The pockets trap air, which helps insulate the window, so they’re one of the best choices for keeping sunny rooms cooler.

Do cellular shades help with my electric bill?

They can. By blocking heat at the window, cellular shades help rooms stay cooler so your air conditioning doesn’t have to work as hard. Savings depend on your home, windows and sun exposure.

Can I get blackout cellular shades?

Yes. Cellular shades come in light filtering, room darkening and blackout fabrics. Blackout is popular for bedrooms and nurseries.

Can cellular shades fit unusual windows?

Yes. They can be made for many window shapes and sizes, including some arched and angled windows. We’ll measure and let you know what’s possible during your free estimate.

Can cellular shades be motorized?

Yes. Motorized cellular shades are great for tall or hard-to-reach windows, and can be controlled by remote or set on a schedule.

Are cellular shades good for bathrooms?

They work in most rooms, but for bathrooms with a lot of steam, we usually recommend faux wood blinds, which handle humidity better.

How do I clean cellular shades?

Dust lightly or use a vacuum with a brush attachment. For small marks, spot clean gently with a damp cloth.

They are operated by a simple push or pull mechanism on the bottom rail, making them safe for homes with children and pets.
