Many people shop for window shades and only focus on cosmetics; however, they play a practical role as well. Cellular or honeycomb shades are among the most popular options because they offer functional and aesthetic advantages.

4 Reasons to Purchase Honeycomb Shades

1. Energy Efficiency

A sun-soaked room creates a welcoming environment, but unfortunately, comes with high temperatures. Honeycomb window shades combat them by trapping heat between their cells to keep your home cooler. You therefore won’t have to run your air conditioner as often, nor adjust it throughout the day to accommodate temperature fluctuations.

2. Noise Reduction

If you like a quiet, peaceful home, honeycomb shades muffle outside noise from traffic and construction. Upgrade to a double-layered option for the best results.

3. Versatility

Honeycomb shades come in a number of colors and fabric options so you can tailor them to your interior design. Choose from linen or polyester to repel dust and debris. They also range from sheer translucent opacity to semi-opaque and darkening to give you total control of light filtration. They can be made into different sizes and shapes, such as half-circles or triangles, to fit any window as well.

4. Inconspicuous Presence

Unlike curtains, when raised, the pleats of cellular shades fold into one another to form a small, unobtrusive bundle. They can also be made cordless for less fuss and improved safety in households with small children.
