What are cellular shades and why would anyone want them? Those are legitimate questions regarding this particular product and the answers are simple. Firstly, cellular shades are a type of window covering and secondly, people want them because they are awesome. A cellular shade is made up of two or more sheets of woven or non – woven fabric which is stitched together and pleated. It is then treated with starch to maintain the pleats which can be either horizontal or vertical. The way that the shade is put together creates a honeycomb pattern which is the reason for them also being known as Honeycomb blind.
The average person typically chooses regular blinds, however to truly be different, the option of cellular shades is available. When friends come over for lunch or dinner, cellular shades could provide a conversation starter. In addition, one can tout the benefits of having something that not many people have.
The reason that these particular blinds are cost effective is because they save the individual money. Saving money is realized through increasing the efficiency of the home. Honeycomb shades are the #1 best insulating shade, for both sound and temperature. Heating and cooling drains more energy than any other home appliance.
In the average home, almost half of the utility bill goes to heating or cooling. A quarter of the heating bill is sometimes caused by the loss of energy through windows. During hot months, sunlight can make the air conditioning work harder then it has to. By using a few relatively inexpensive measures such as the installation of cellular shades, the energy bill can be reduced substantially. Due to the way that the shade is constructed, air is trapped producing insulation and some sound deadening.
An additional perk that adds to the “awesomeness” is that certain cellular shades often have an inside layer of Mylar which can completely block light.
