Honeycomb Shades

A honeycomb shade (also called a cellular shade) is a window covering made from pleated fabric that forms honeycomb-shaped cells when viewed from the side.

These “cells” trap air inside, which gives honeycomb shades their standout feature: excellent insulation.

​

​

How they work

  • Made from layers of fabric shaped into hexagon-like pockets

  • Those pockets trap air, acting like insulation inside your window

  • They raise and lower like roller shades, but compress into a compact stack

​

Key benefits

1. Energy efficiency

The air pockets help:

  • Keep heat out in summer

  • Keep warmth in during winter
    This can reduce energy bills.

2. Light control options

  • Light-filtering versions soften sunlight

  • Blackout cellular shades block most or all light (great for bedrooms)

3. Noise reduction

The layered structure also helps dampen outside sound slightly.

4. Clean, modern look

  • Minimal and smooth from the front

  • No visible cords in many cordless designs

 

Types of honeycomb shades

  • Single cell → standard insulation

  • Double cell → better energy efficiency

  • Top-down / bottom-up → lets you adjust privacy and light direction

  • Motorized → smart home compatible options available
