Hunter Douglas’ honeycomb cellular shades are incredible.

We always go for the best in the world when building our dream house, starting from scratch. Windows are what create visual appeal to our homes. So, why don’t we decorate our windows just like any other part of the residence? Window treatments do just that. They are used in homes to elevate the look of the living area, to enhance energy efficiency, for light control and privacy. But, of course, investing in the shades or blinds per your requirement- whether the durability, functionality, or appearance – matters the most.

We need window treatments installed at home for three important reasons- privacy, protection, and elevation.

Privacy is a human right that we cannot let our expansive windows and prying eyes snatch away from us. Therefore, specific window treatments are made to provide you with absolute solitude.

You get to choose from various opacities of the materials used in your window treatments.

Next is the protection from the scorching sun and its UV rays and, at times, from the teeth clattering cold breeze. Window treatments act as a barrier and save your precious decors and you too. Finally, some shades keep you warmer in the winters and cooler in the summers.

Who won’t want their homes to look awe-inspiring? Window treatments elevate the ambiance without much effort from your side. You need not spend a massive amount on renovations of your home. Just a window treatment can do the job.

Cellular shades

Each window treatment has its specialty. Some diffuse lights light up your room and some offer blackout for media rooms. Some are created to provide privacy, and some to let in fresh air and sunlight. It all depends on the clients’ requirements. Can you get all of these qualities in a single-window shade? The answer won’t disappoint you. Yes, you’ve got cellular shades that are multi-functional and durable.

The cellular honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas are out of the world. The charm of cellular honeycomb shades is in their specially engineered honeycomb shape. This unique construction traps air and creates a layer of insulation between the window, and a room’s inside temperature. In addition, these shades offer superior energy efficiency, enabling you to keep your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Pleated shades vs. Cellular shades

Cellular shades deliver better energy efficiency than pleated shades because of their honeycomb construction, which you can see from the side when you look at them. Pleated shades look the same as cellular shades from the front but do not offer the insulating honeycomb design.

Benefits of Cellular Honeycomb Shades

Every product in the market has advantages as well disadvantages. Likewise, there are reasons why you cannot give cellular shades the cold shoulder. Let us have a look at the pros:

Incomparable Insulation

These cellular shades give you insulation like no other window treatment. This is because of the unique honeycomb construction that traps air in distinct pockets. These can help lower your energy consumption and energy bills by providing insulation from the outside weather. This is why it can keep you warmer in winters and more relaxed in summers.

Touch of Modernity

These shades never get outdated because they can diffuse light to create an exciting ambiance. Soft light is the fad of the moment. They are available in textures, styles, and patterns that touch modernity to them. They always add a fresh appeal to your living area and, thus, an elegant and modern look.

Privacy

As mentioned earlier, privacy is undeniably essential because the buildings and skyscrapers are coming closer to each other with time. You can shift to remote environments if solitude is your requirement. But that’s not always the case. So, the best we can aid you is the cellular shades that come in varying degrees of opacity. If you prefer complete darkness, you’ve got blackout shades as well.

Noise reduction

Urban life can be annoying at times with all the noise from the honks, babies next door, or even chit-chats of the trespassers. But, cellular honeycomb shades have got your back. They can insulate the noises, too, thanks to the unique pockets they come with.

Energy efficiency

You’d already know by now that the cellular shades have unique pockets that trap air, and they provide you with a soothing atmosphere inside. Not just that, but they are wallet-friendly due to this fact. They offer you the atmosphere you need, thereby reducing the usage of air conditioners and heaters. This automatically reflects on the energy bills.

Pet and child-friendly

The cellular honeycomb shades come with a pet and child-friendly option of a cordless system. Having cordless shades is essential when you either have kids or pets. It also eases your job of pulling the shades up and down.

Ease of usage

These cellular shades are also available with the Powerview automation system, which lets you operate the window shades remotely or on your mobile phone. So any day, save that extra walk to the windows to shut down or open the window shades manually.

Adaptability

The cellular honeycomb shades can fit into any window shades on the slide doors, the arched windows, or even the french windows. They can be custom-made as per the need of the window that the client has. It is a go-to option for this reason.
