How to Boost Energy Efficiency with Cellular Shades

Did you know that up to 30% of your home's heating and cooling energy can be lost through your windows? Choosing the right window treatments can significantly affect your energy bills and comfort.

One of the most energy-efficient options is cellular shades, sometimes also known as honeycomb shades. These shades have a unique design that creates air pockets between the layers of fabric, trapping heat and cold and creating a barrier between the rest of your home and the outside world.

Cellular Shades

Cellular shades come in many different colors, sizes, and fabrics to suit a wide variety of preferences. You can also choose from different opacity levels, from sheer to opaque, depending on how much light and privacy you want.

One of the most popular choices is blackout cellular shades, which block 100% of the light and provide maximum insulation. These shades are ideal for bedrooms, media rooms, or any space you want to create a cozy and dark environment.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades and Sonette® Roller Shades are both fantastic options for anyone looking for gorgeous cellular shades.

Benefits Of Cellular Shades

Beyond energy efficiency, you should be aware of various other benefits of cellular shades.

  • Light control: Cellular shades come in various opacities, including blackout options. Blackout cellular shades are perfect for bedrooms and media rooms, as they block out nearly all incoming light, ensuring a good night's sleep and an optimal viewing experience.
  • Privacy: These shades also offer excellent privacy. With a range of opacity levels to choose from, you can enjoy natural light while maintaining your personal space's seclusion.
  • UV protection: Cellular shades are equipped to block harmful UV rays, protecting your furnishings, flooring, and artwork from fading over time. This ensures your home remains vibrant and well-preserved.
