Cellular shades are also known as honeycomb shades. These fabric shades are made from two sheets of fabric that once combined, form air pockets, otherwise known as cells. These cells form the shapes of honeycombs. The formation of these honeycombs or cells creates pockets of still air. As a result cellular shades are extremely energy efficient. Cellular shades are available in a single honeycomb cell design with a variety of pleat sizes, colors and an array of distinctive fabrics that provide varying degrees of light control. Cellular shades are made of color-fast, non-woven polyester, are simple to clean, and extremely durable.
