Within that product collection, we also offer the vertical cellular shade collection of Duette Vertiglide, a cellular shade that slides sideways to offer the same superior protection. For a budget-friendly option, the Applause collection offers a streamlined collection of fabrics, designed with the same cellular shade structure in both horizontal and vertical shade options.

The newest type of cellular shade combines the honeycomb structure with roller shade operation. The resulting design, the Sonnette collection, offers the sought-after energy efficiency that so many homeowners want, with the simple rolling operation they have come to love.

The Cellular Design

When we talk about the cellular shade structure, we often mention the cell-within-a-cell design. This is what makes honeycomb shades so energy efficient. The interior of the cells features pockets of air, capable of trapping the interior air, creating a barrier of insulation. When exterior air meets with interior air, normally a change in temperature takes place. But, with the layer of insulation provided by this cellular shade design, it prevents the exterior air from influencing the interior air, thus regulating interior temperatures easier.

Available Features

Beyond that award-winning energy efficiency, our cellular shade collections offer a wide range of incredible features. Cellular shades happen to lead the way in the amount of available upgrades, mainly due to a few exclusive offerings. Let look more closely at what’s available.

Smart Control

In today’s world, you no longer have to ask, “Is there an app for that?” because there is. As one of the benefits of motorized blinds, it’s easy to instantly raise and lower your window shades with a tap or voice command. But, when you combine this convenience with an energy efficient cellular shade, not that’s really smart. Set schedules to keep out the hot afternoon sun. Shield your home office from light that will lull you to sleep. Save your favorite settings as “scenes” that you can access immediately. The technology is ready so you can customize your home, and we will show you just how to do it!
