an improvement in design and insulation value over its sister, the pleated shade
This window treatment style consists of two or more sheets of accordion-pleated reinforced fabric which is bonded together. From the front, they look like standard pleated shades. However, when viewed from the side they have a honeycomb construction which provides outstanding insulation.
Any shade which, when utilized, creates air spaces in the form of tubes or cells in order to increase thermal efficieny, sound absorption, or opacity.
Fabric shades that use air pockets to maximize energy efficiency and insulate against heat, cold and sound. Also called honeycomb shades.
Also called honeycomb shades. These fabric shades have a front and back fabric that is pleated. The two fabrics are connected to form air pockets (cells). Because of the air pockets, these shades have great insulation ratings. Although cellular shades look like pleated shades, unlike pleated shades, there are no visible holes or strings.
A cellular shade consists of two or more sheets of accordion-pleated reinforced fabric which is bonded together. From the front, this appears to be a standard pleated shade, but from the side you can see that the multi-layered construction creates a single, double, or even triple layer of honeycombed air spaces. Most manufacturers will tell you that this affects the ambience of the light that filters through them or that it affects the colors of the top layer, but the real benefit is less obvious. The honeycomb construction of cellular shades creates multiple air pockets within the shade which have an insulating effect.
A permanently pleated shade that features single or double fabric "cells" which act as insulators. Also known as a honeycomb shade.
