Honeycomb Shades
A honeycomb shade is a great solution for top/down bottom up, when you want privacy but also want a complete view during the day. We can offer these motorized on a timer so you don’t have to even think about lowering or raising the shades. Hiring a professional window covering designer, like myself, makes a difference. I know all of the tricks on making your windows stand up and get noticed and at the same time addressing your needs.
Why choose honeycomb (cellular) shades over other styles?
Honeycomb shades trap air in their pocketed, accordion-fold structure, which adds insulation at the window - they can reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter compared to a bare window or a flatter shade.
Do honeycomb shades help lower energy bills?
The insulating air pockets in honeycomb shades reduce heat transfer through the window, which can ease the load on heating and cooling systems, though actual savings depend on the home and window sizes involved.
Can honeycomb shades be motorized?
Yes. Jacoby Company fits honeycomb shades to motorized systems, useful for tall or hard-to-reach windows and for scheduling shades to open and close automatically.
Are honeycomb shades good for skylights?
Honeycomb shades are a common choice for skylights because they're lightweight and available in top-down/bottom-up configurations, letting light in from the top while keeping privacy below.
Do honeycomb shades come in blackout options?
Yes - blackout honeycomb shades combine the insulating cell structure with full light-blocking fabric, a common pairing for bedrooms.
