What even are Honeycomb Shades? What do they do? How do they work? I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen the term before when browsing for window treatments online and those questions popped into your mind. Honeycomb shades, also known as Cellular shades, are comprised of folded fabric forming hollow cells shaped like a honeycomb. Those cells then trap air and form an insulating barrier between your room and windows. This means that these shades are able to keep your home warm in the harsh winter, and cool in the blazing summer; the essential shade for the extreme seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Honeycomb Shades<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Energy efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The empty space created by the cells trap air within the structure. By reducing heat loss and head gain in winter and summer respectively. These blinds not only help lower your heating and cooling bills, but also can help prevent your AC from overworking itself improving safety, making them a smart long term investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noise Reduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its not just temperature insulation, the cellular structure also traps sound waves. This mean you\u2019ll be lowering the volume from coming from outside while preventing any sound you make from leaving your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I tell the difference between cell sizes?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you fully extend a cell without putting stress on it and then measure from the front of the cell to the back of the cell, you\u2019ll have the size. We offer cells in \u00be\u201d, \u215c\u201d, \u00bd\u201d, \u215d\u201d, 9\/16″, 1 \u00bc\u201d, and 2\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can clean of debris by dusting the shades with a microfiber cloth, vacuuming with a soft brush attachment on low suction, or using compressed air to remove debris from cells. For stains, gently blot with a mild detergent\/water solution, avoiding harsh scrubbing. Never fully submerge shades or use hot water.
