Why Should You Consider Cellular Shades?

Looking for a versatile, energy efficient, easy to operate window covering option that fits your design style well? Cellular or honeycomb shades may be your perfect solution.

Cellular shades are a popular choice in homes across the country, including the Lake Norman area. They are a versatile choice, offering homeowners the opportunity to choose options that best meet their needs.

Wondering if cellular shades are the right solution for your window covering needs? This article takes you through the reasons we recommend them to so many area homeowners.

 

1 – Cellular shades offer color and texture options.

With their extensive design options, cellular shades provide solutions right for nearly any homeowner. They come in a variety of colors, textures, and opacities from sheer to blackout.

Some homeowners seek to match their honeycomb shades to their trim while others prefer a more textured look. If you want the look of fabric without the fuss, choose a designer pattern for unmatched charm. When choosing honeycomb shades, the design possibilities are truly endless.

2 – Cellular shades allow you to control the light.

Cellular shades come in opacity levels ranging from sheer, which lets in the most light, to room darkening, a popular option for bedrooms and theater rooms. Between these two extremes, you will find light filtering and semi-opaque.

Homeowners seeking the look of sheer shades at lower cost may choose sheer shades, while those who want to let some light in without giving up privacy are more likely to go with light filtering or semi opaque shades.

If you struggle to choose between a desire to enjoy your beautiful view and a need for privacy, cellular shades offer a solution! Known as dual shades, perfect view, or day and night shades, this solution is perfect for homeowners who want it all. These shades provide ultimate flexibility with two shades.

3 – Cellular shades are safe, durable, and easy to use.

Cellular shades are available in a variety of lifting options, making them a great choice for any room type or budget.

Cordless lift eliminates hanging cords. This feature allows homeowners to position shades exactly where they want and provides unmatched ease of operation. Cordless lift is also a great choice for homeowners who have children or pets.

More cost-effective lift options include continuous cord loop, standard cord lock, and retractable cords. If convenience is what you want, look no further than motorized cellular shades. Control your shades from your phone, tablet, or wireless battery-operated wall mount!

Honeycombs even offer a top-down-bottom-up feature which allows for the shades to be lowered from the top. This feature allows homeowners to let light in from above while preserving privacy below.

4 – Cellular shades are energy efficient and reduce noise.

Cellular shades are known for adding insulation to windows. Their shape and the material from which they are made creates a pocket in front of the window that traps heat.

A window covering’s ability to resist the transfer of heat is known as its R-Value. The higher the R-Value, the more energy efficient the shade. Cellular shades have some of the highest R-Values in the industry. This means they are an excellent choice to keep heat out during the summer and in during the winter. Not only will your home be more comfortable, you’ll also enjoy lower utility bills.

If noise reduction is a concern, consider cellular shades. Their shape and material absorb sound in much the same way they trap heat. This makes them an excellent solution for blocking out the noise from our busy Huntersville or Mooresville streets.

Cellular shades are available in both single and double cell construction. Single cell certainly offers energy efficiency and noise reduction. However, double cell construction takes both to a higher level. Which is right for you depends on your priorities. If cost and appearance are top concerns, single cell is the better choice. If energy efficiency and noise reduction are tops on your list, double cell shades deliver.

5 – Cellular shades offer a clean, soft look.

Primarily made from polyester, cellular shades give a soft look to any room. They coordinate well with draperies and offer the pleated look many homeowners desire. Honeycomb shades stack like an accordion, allowing them to nearly disappear when raised. This means nothing blocks your view of the lake from your Cornelius, Denver, or Mooresville home on Lake Norman.
