Cellular Blinds
Cellular blinds offer amazing benefits like privacy, insulation, and light-filtering. One of its best feature is the insulation part that they add to your home’s windows. During summer, insulation can help reduce air conditioning bills, keep a home cooler and block the harsh rays of the sun.
To add to that, cellular blinds also offer great privacy. They come in a versatile top-down/bottom-up feature and this allows the shade to be either lifted up or lowered down. Light control is also another benefit of cellular blinds. There are a variety of light control options – from semi-opaque light filtering fabrics to light-blocking opaque fabrics. This type of blind blocks out the most light. If complete darkness is what you want, these shades are your best choice.

When looking for cellular shades, one must consider the cell shapes. D-shaped cells are designed to hold the accordion shape better. Fabrics range from spun lace to point bond. Spun lace is a softer, heavier duty material than point bond. Spun lace is 40% more effective in insulating heat and cold than point bond. The more cells a honeycomb shade has the better insulation it will provide. A double cell shade will provide better insulation than a single cell shade.
Cellular blinds come in a lot of nice colors and they can be paired with Roman shades for a more dramatic look. If you’re thinking summer shades, but want to be sure to have quality insulating window treatments, then take a look at cellular shades. You won’t regret it!
