Picking the Best Cellular Shades for Your Home

With so many excellent window shade options out there, it can be difficult for homeowners to decide which type of shade is best for their style and functional needs. Cellular shades are one of our most popular shade options for their insulating capabilities. At NH Blinds, we carry top window treatment brands, including Norman®, Comfortex™, Carole™ Fabrics, and Pro Design, and offer several styles of cellular shades near Manchester, NH. Learn which are the best cellular shades for your home.

Benefits of Cellular Shades

Cellular Shades are energy-efficient window treatments that trap air inside layered cells, creating a layer of insulation that keeps hot air from passing through. As Winter gradually loses its hold and melts into Spring, temperatures spring wildly back and forth: it’s warm, it’s cold. It’s warm again. Some days, having the heat on is necessary; other days, it’s pointless. Cellular shades on your windows can cut out that back and forth, making it a little easier on your HVAC system.

On cellular shade, layers of fabrics forming small honeycomb-shaped cells trap hot air when it tries to pass through your window, creating a layer of insulation. This process can lower your energy bill by as much as 30%. In the summer, cellular shades keep the cool air inside. In Winter, the cold air stays outside. And in the crazy days of Spring, you can leave your shade up on warm days and down on cool days, adjusting for whatever will be best. This is even easier if you automate your shades.

Other benefits of cellular window shades include:

• Noise reduction.
• Clean, modern appeal.
• Various fabric colors, materials, and opacities.
• Available on sliding glass doors, skylights, and other window shapes/sizes.
