Reasons To Install Honeycomb Cellular Shades

By Marcie Goodman


Home occupants can benefit from honeycomb cellular shades all year long. These window treatments keep homes more comfortable while looking stylish. They may be used by themselves or along with other window treatments in one's home. In addition to shading the room from the summer sun, they insulate windows during the winter. The different light diffusion levels give you many choices for appropriate models.

Due to their insulating capabilities, these devices are popular during the winter. They also help to lower the cooling bills during the summer. They prevent solar heating of rooms which often increases the load required by one's air conditioning system. In addition, they provide protection from damaging UV rays that may cause fading or deterioration of furniture or other materials.

For the bedroom, light blocking window treatments are popular. The shade helps to prevent the morning sun from disturbing one's slumber. They are also effective against urban light pollution at night by allowing you to control the amount entering the area where you sleep. They are particularly effective for night shift workers who must sleep during the day.

With the double fabric layers and trapped air, noise from outside one's home is also reduced. Whether you are bothered by traffic noise, barking dogs or playing children, the muffling effect is appreciated. Your home becomes a quiet place for relaxing.

In homes with small children and pets, owners often are concerned about the dangers of cords used to operate the device. Today, there are cordless models available. Tiny electric motors are built into the unit to roll the shade up or down and adjust the amount of natural sunlight that enters one's home.

Many reviewers prefer the D-shaped cells for these units. This shape works best in holding the accordion shape that traps air to provide insulation. Spun lace offers a softer, yet heavier material than point bond fabric. It also offers a greater insulating ability in both winter and summer that the less expensive point bond fabric. For the greatest insulation value, choose a double cell unit instead of a single cell one.

There are options as to the amount of light allowed through the unit. Light filtering models allow some light to show through while still providing for privacy and insulating the glass. To prevent more light, one might choose a room darkening shade. Such units are a good choice for areas where light can be distracting. They are popular for home theaters as well as for use in the bedroom or anywhere light can be bothersome.

You will find a wide variety of colors available. While these units work well alone, they also are also good for use with drapes or other curtains, providing a dramatic look. The units are available in varying pleat sizes ranging from very small to very large, which offers a variety in looks for them.

Honeycomb cellular shades help to reduce the amount of sunlight entering a room and the air conditioning load. In the winter, they help to prevent drafts due to glass windows or doors. They may be a part of a stunning window treatment used throughout the home.
