Window Treatments
Cellular Shade
Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, feature a unique honeycomb-structured design that creates air pockets providing superior insulation and energy efficiency. These innovative shades trap air in their cells, creating a buffer between the window and room that significantly improves temperature regulation.
Beyond their energy-saving properties, cellular shades offer a clean, modern appearance that suits contemporary interiors. They are available in light-filtering to blackout opacities and various cell sizes, with larger cells providing better insulation and smaller cells suiting narrower windows.

Placement & Usage Tips
Inside mount for clean lines; outside mount for better insulation (reduces gaps). Choose cell size based on window width—larger cells for bigger windows. Consider top-down for privacy with light.
💡 Pro Tip
For maximum energy savings, choose double-cell in light colors for south-facing windows (reflects heat) and dark colors for north windows (absorbs heat). The Department of Energy rates cellular shades as the most energy-efficient window treatment.
