Cellular shades are a versatile and effective choice for light control – and even temperature and energy flow control – at your property. There’s many varieties of attractive cellular shades currently on the market today, ideal for every type of aesthetic preference and need. In this blog entry, the blind and shade installation experts at LA Shades and Blinds will provide some extensive detail as to the functionality and myriad benefits of cellular window shades.
What are Cellular Shades?
Cellular shades are a popular shade variety comprised of two seperate pieces of fabric that fold up across horizontal pleats. They are available in blackout light blocking varieties, as well as a wide variety of pleat sizes, colors, fabrics, and opacities.
Why are Cellular Shades popular?
Cellular shades are popular due to their creation of a layer of insulation between the window and the room, which provides energy efficiency benefits. This prevents energy leakage when your home is heated or cooled. Another reason cellular shades are so popular is because of their wide customization options, from color and shades to pleat sizes and levels of opacity – you can have total control of the quality of light that falls through your cellular shades, as well as how they function in your window. You can choose to install top down cellular shades, motorized cellular shades, and cordless cellular shades. You can even install cellular shades that can be operated from your smartphone!
Are Cellular Shades Right for Me?
Cellular shades are ideal for homeowners concerned with energy efficiency and who appreciate a modern and streamlined design. People looking for a more traditional or strange decor aesthetic may want to explore other shade options in more antique or history inspired styles.
