What are Cellular Shades?
An incredibly popular option from Hunter Douglas, cellular shades offer a range of style and performance benefits. While these complex window treatments might be overwhelming to understand at first, today at Kao’s Pacific Interiors, we’re going to discuss Hunter Douglas shades and explore what makes these custom shades unique.
Understanding Cellular Shades
The term cellular shades, or sometimes honeycomb shades, refers to a style of window treatment designed for insulation. The keystone feature of cellular shades is their internal air pockets that run the width of the shade like a vane on a blind. These air pockets create a layer of insulation within the shade that helps block unwanted energy transfer. Though we can fashion cellular shades into numerous styles with different upgrades available from Hunter Douglas, these Hunter Douglas shades all share the same internal cellular construction.
Benefits of Cellular Shades
- Better Energy Efficiency: By insulating windows, homeowners can drastically reduce unwanted energy transfer that wreaks havoc on home environments. Cellular shades help homeowners create a comfortable and controlled home environment by keeping unwanted elements like summer heat out and desirable elements like air conditioning in. And they do this without additional energy consumption, passively helping homes improve their overall energy efficiency.
- Sound Absorption: The cellular construction of honeycomb shades also makes them excel at sound absorption. For rooms where you're looking for a little more peace and quiet, cellular shades can help keep outside noise out and improve the interior acoustics. This is one reason we often see cellular shades used in bedrooms, as they help to keep the space quiet, dark, and cool for ideal sleeping conditions.
Types of Hunter Douglas Cellular Shades
- Duette® Cellular Shades: Duette® Cellular Shades are the classic style of cellular Hunter Douglas shades with vertical and horizontal applications for windows and doors. They excel in their insulating abilities, setting them apart from other window treatment options.
- Sonnette® Roller Shades: Sonnette® Roller Shades are a hybrid model of window shades combining energy-efficient elements from cellular shades and the streamlined style of roller shades into a single treatment. This vertical shade comes in over 50 fabric choices for customized style.
Upgrades for Duette® Cellular Shades
- Duolite®: The Duolite® system for Hunter Douglas shades adds a room-darkening shade to the back of cellular shades, creating a treatment with a vastly wider array of light control abilities.
- LightLock® Blackout System: With an innovative system of side channels, the LightLock® Blackout System dramatically reduces light leaks around the edges of cellular Hunter Douglas shades for comprehensively darker interiors.
- PowerView® Automation: For motorized cellular shades, upgrade to PowerView® Automation. This advanced operating system elevates cellular shades and makes their use more accessible and more convenient for homeowners. With automated options, motorized cellular shades can operate independently for optimal efficiency.
