Comfort Designed into Every Cell

With a wide range of fabrics, colors, opacity levels, and operating options, they offer an adaptable solution for comfort, privacy, and everyday living throughout your home.
Why Choose Cellular Shades?
01.
Energy-Conscious Design
The honeycomb structure traps air within the shade, creating an insulating layer at the window that can help reduce heat transfer and improve year-round comfort.
02.
Versatile Light Management
Choose from sheer and light-filtering materials to room-darkening and blackout options, allowing you to tailor each shade to the needs of the room.
03.
Clean, Understated Style
A simple profile and soft pleated appearance allow cellular shades to complement a wide range of interiors without overwhelming the surrounding design.
04.
Solutions for Unique Windows
With configurations available for specialty shapes, skylights, large windows, and other challenging applications, cellular shades can provide solutions where traditional window treatments may not be the best fit.
Find the Right Cellular Shade for Your Home
Standard
Simple and familiar, standard cellular shades raise from the bottom of the window like you're used to, providing straightforward control over natural light and coverage.
Top-Down / Bottom-Up
Enjoy greater flexibility by adjusting your shade from either direction. Lower the top to bring in natural light while keeping the lower portion of the window covered for added privacy.
Day / Night
Get two levels of light control in one shade. Day / Night cellular shades combine two fabrics - such as light-filtering and room-darkening - so you can easily adjust the atmosphere as your needs change throughout the day.
Choose How to Operate Your Shades
The right operating system makes your window treatments even more effortless. Choose from corded or cordless manual operation or motorized options that allow you to adjust your shades with the touch of a button. For added convenience, select a smart system that can integrate with your home's connected technology and automate your shades around your daily routine.
Cordless Lift
Raise your cordless shades with a single finger and lower them with a gentle pull. Cordless operation provides a clean, streamlined look and is easy for the whole household to operate - including guests.
Continuous Loop Lift
A simple loop of standard cord allows for smooth operation on windows that are too tall for cordless lift. Each shade includes an approved tension device for added child safety.
Motorized Lift
Adjust your shades with a remote, wall switch, or compatible smart-home devices such as Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Motorization offers effortless control and is an ideal solution for hard-to-reach windows, large installations, and throughout the home.

Cellular Shade FAQs

Single-cell shades contain one layer of air pockets, while double-cell shades contain two. Double-cell construction can provide additional insulation, while single-cell options may be preferred for certain window sizes, applications, or aesthetic preferences.

Yes. Their combination of insulation, privacy, and room-darkening options makes cellular shades particularly well suited for bedrooms. Top-down/bottom-up operation can also provide privacy while allowing natural light into the upper portion of the window during the day.
