Cellular shades are some of the most versatile window coverings available. These window coverings are sometimes referred to as pleated or honeycomb shades, and offer various degrees of light filtration and cordless options, making them safe for children and pets. These window coverings are built with small honeycomb-shaped pockets or ‘cells’ designed to keep air from either entering or escaping your home, and thick cellular fabrics that provide an insulating layer to help keep your room at an ideal temperature.
