Cellular Shade Material
Multiple Opacity Levels
- Transparent fabrics - such as Sheer and SemiSheer allow the most light into the room, providing a great view to the outside and minimal privacy.
- Light Filtering fabrics - provides privacy, while still allowing in soft, diffused light through the windows.
- Room Darkening fabrics - provide total privacy and are our best products for blocking light. This is a good choice for day sleepers or eliminating glare on TV and computer screens. This fabric is very effective at reducing heating and cooling bills.

Cellular Shade Operation
Corded
- Standard - All our Corded Cellular Shades utilize our color coordinated, low profile headrail system. Raise and lower your Honeycomb Shade to any desired position using our easy to use cord lock system.
- Top Down Bottom Up - This feature allows the Honeycomb Shade to be both lifted from the bottom and lowered from the top. This is an ideal choice for bedrooms and bathrooms because light can be allowed in at the top of the window without compromising privacy.
- Top Down - This feature allows the shade to be lowered from the top rather than lifted from the bottom. This is also an ideal choice for bedrooms and bathrooms because light can be allowed in at the top of the window without compromising privacy.
- DuoShade® - This state of the art design combines two fabrics with different opacity levels in one Honeycomb Shade. Use the sheer shade on top to gently diffuse light during the day and the more opaque shade on the bottom for complete privacy at night.
Cordless
- Standard Cordless - Cellular Shades are raised and lowered with a handle mounted to the bottom rail. This option gives the window a clean, cord free appearance is safer for children and pets. A telescoping reach pole is available for shades mounted in higher windows out of normal reach.
- Top Down Bottom Up Cordless - This combines the convenience of a Cordless Honeycomb Shade with Top Down Bottom Up. This feature allows the shade to be both lifted from the bottom and lowered from the top. Two handles attached to the mid rail and bottom rail make for easy operation. This eliminates the pull cords making it a safer option for children and pets.
Continuous Cord Loop System
The Continuous Cord Loop operating system is a great choice for larger windows. A tension pulley neatly affixes to the wall or window casing allowing for smooth, easy operation of your Cellular Shades and makes it safer for children and pets.
Motorized With Remote Control
Cellular Shades can be ordered with motorized headrail which lifts and lowers the shades with a single or five channel portable remote control or wall unit. This feature is ideal for operating shades on hard to reach windows and for operating several shades at once with the touch of a button. Cellular Shades can even be programmed to automatically open and close at specific times of the day and night. Elimination of lift cords is also safer for children and pets.
2-on-1 Headrail
Two Cellular Shades are connected by one continuous headrail. This is a great feature for windows with multiple openings because the right and left shades operate independently. 2-on-1 headrail is available regardless of how you select to operate your Honeycomb Shade.

Inside Mount
Cellular Shades can be mounted to the inside of the window frame at the top or sides, this is called an Inside Mount. Most people prefer an Inside Mount because it provides a customized, tailored look and leave decorative molding and window sills exposed.
Outside Mount
Outside Mount is when a Honeycomb Shade is mounted to the wall or molding surrounding the window. Outside Mount is ideal if there is not enough mounting depth for your Honeycomb Shade in the window frame. Other reasons to choose an Outside Mount include making a window appear larger, allowing the product to stack above or to the side in order to provide an unobstructed view or maximizing privacy by eliminating light gaps.
Control Side
You can choose to have the lift cord to raise/lower your Honeycomb Shade on either the right or left side.
Control Length
Control lengths are available in selected lengths to accommodate a variety of window heights.
Spacers
Spacers are available for use on windows with a projected molding. They are 3/8" thick and allow the shade to be mounted flush with the outside edge of any standard window molding.
