As energy costs rise and homeowners seek smarter, more sustainable ways to manage household efficiency, window treatments are playing a bigger role than ever before. One of the most powerful yet underappreciated tools for energy conservation is the cellular shade—also known as the honeycomb shade. At Made in the Shade West Cincinnati, we’ve helped countless homeowners reduce their heating and cooling bills while enhancing the comfort and beauty of their spaces with these innovative shades.
What Are Cellular Shades?
Cellular shades feature a unique honeycomb design that traps air within structured cells. These cells form a layer of insulation between your window and your living space, reducing heat transfer and helping you maintain indoor temperatures more efficiently.
They’re available in single-cell or double-cell constructions, as well as various opacities, sizes, and colors—offering a completely customizable energy-saving solution for any room in the house.
How Cellular Shades Boost Energy Efficiency
1. Insulation You Can See (and Feel)
During colder months, cellular shades act as a thermal barrier, keeping warmth inside your home. In summer, they block solar heat from entering through your windows. The result? Your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard—and your energy bills reflect it.
2. UV Protection
Cellular shades help block damaging UV rays that can fade furniture, flooring, and décor. With light-filtering or room-darkening fabric options, you control how much light enters your space while still protecting your interior.
3. Temperature Regulation Year-Round
By stabilizing the temperature near your windows—typically the least insulated part of a room—these shades help eliminate cold drafts in winter and reduce overheating in summer, making your home more comfortable without constant thermostat changes.
4. Lower Monthly Utility Bills
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, properly installed cellular shades can reduce heat loss by up to 40% in winter and solar heat gain by up to 60% in summer. That adds up to significant annual savings.
Stylish and Functional
Cellular shades are not just workhorses for insulation—they’re incredibly versatile and visually appealing. Choose from a wide selection of:
- Colors & Patterns: From soft neutrals to bold hues.
- Opacities: Light-filtering, room-darkening, or blackout options.
- Lift Systems: Cordless, continuous loop, or motorized for safety and convenience.
- Top-Down/Bottom-Up Options: Let in light from above while maintaining privacy below.
This adaptability makes cellular shades ideal for any room—bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, nurseries, and more.
Cordless and Motorized Options for Convenience & Safety
We offer cellular shades with cordless and motorized lifting systems. Cordless options are perfect for child-safe homes, while motorized systems integrate with smart home hubs for effortless operation—even on tall or hard-to-reach windows.
