CUSTOM WINDOW COVERINGS

Cellular / Honeycomb Shades

Soft light. Insulating comfort.

Cellular shades, also called honeycomb shades, use hollow fabric cells that trap air at the window. Their softly pleated design combines light control with insulating comfort. Choose single-cell fabrics in 3/4-inch (¾-inch) or 1.25-inch (1¼-inch) sizes, or double-cell construction for added insulation.

THE DETAILS

A closer look.
A choice that fits.

The honeycomb structure creates insulating air pockets that help slow heat transfer through the window in hot and cold weather. Cellular designs typically offer the highest R-values among interior window coverings; the actual rating depends on the selected product, fabric, cell construction, fit and window. They can also absorb some sound and help make a room feel quieter. We compare samples and operating systems around your light, privacy and comfort priorities.

Well suited to

Bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and other spaces where you want softly filtered light, flexible privacy and improved comfort at the window.

MAKE IT YOURS

The options to consider.

01

Single cell: 3/4-inch & 1.25-inch

Choose 3/4-inch (¾-inch) or 1.25-inch (1¼-inch) single-cell fabrics. The cell size changes the scale of the pleats; compare samples against your window proportions and preferred texture.

02

Double cells for more insulation

Double-cell construction adds another row of air pockets for increased insulating potential. Compare the selected fabric and system performance, along with the space needed for the shade and its raised stack.

03

Day & Night shade system

Combine a sheer or light-filtering fabric for daytime with a blackout / room-darkening fabric for evenings, sleep or when you want more coverage and insulating comfort. Change between the two fabric sections within one system; available configurations and movement are confirmed for your windows.

04

Thermal insulation & R-value

R-value describes resistance to heat flow. Honeycomb shades are a leading choice for interior window insulation. Cell construction, fabric, window coverage and edge gaps affect the result; we review product-specific performance rather than assigning one R-value to every shade.

05

Sound absorption & a quieter room

The fabric and cellular structure can improve acoustic comfort by absorbing some sound and helping reduce perceived noise. Results vary with the selected shade, room and window. Shades alone do not soundproof a room.

06

Light control, operation & fit

Compare sheer, light-filtering and blackout fabrics with cordless or compatible motorized controls. Blackout fabric still needs careful mounting and light-gap planning. Skylights and shaped windows require their own suitable system.

GOOD TO KNOW

Your questions.
A little clarity.

Choosing a cellular shade cell size
What is the difference between cellular shades and honeycomb blinds?+

Cellular shades and honeycomb blinds refer to the same folded fabric construction, with pockets that trap air. Compare single-cell and double-cell options, light-filtering or room-darkening fabrics, and compatible cordless or motorized controls. The fabric and installation determine the comfort and light-control result.

Which cell sizes do you offer?+

Our range includes 3/4-inch and 1.25-inch single-cell fabrics, plus double-cell options for added insulation. We compare current fabric samples and confirm the available cell, size and operating combinations for your window.

How does the Day & Night system work?+

It combines two fabric sections in one shade: sheer or light-filtering for daytime, and blackout / room-darkening for evenings or greater coverage. You adjust which section covers the glass. Its movement and remaining coverage depend on the selected system.

Does blackout fabric always mean better insulation?+

Fabric opacity and insulation are different properties. A blackout section offers greater light blocking, while thermal performance depends on the fabric, cell design, coverage and fit. We review the actual specification when insulation is a priority.

Do honeycomb shades have the best R-value?+

Cellular honeycomb shades typically have the highest R-values within the interior window-covering category. That is a category-level benefit, not one guaranteed rating for every fabric or installation. Ask us about performance information for your selected product.

Will cellular shades soundproof my room?+

They can contribute sound absorption and a quieter feel, but they do not make a room soundproof. The effect depends on the chosen fabric, shade coverage, window and the surrounding room.

Can cellular shades be used on a skylight?+

There are cellular systems designed for skylights. The opening, slope, supporting tracks and operating method must be checked; a standard vertical-window shade is not interchangeable with a skylight system.
