SHADES

Energy-Efficient Cellular Shades for Florida Heat

Cellular shades trap air in honeycomb cells to insulate windows against Florida heat. They are among the most effective fabric shades for reducing solar heat gain while maintaining a soft, tailored look.

HOW CELLULAR SHADES INSULATE

The air pockets in honeycomb cells create a thermal barrier at the window — where most home energy loss occurs. This reduces heat transfer and helps rooms stay cooler during long South Florida summers.

Double and triple cell constructions increase insulation for west- and south-facing windows with heavy sun exposure.

BEST ROOMS FOR CELLULAR SHADES

Bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms benefit from light-filtering and blackout cellular options. Sunrooms and offices with afternoon glare are ideal candidates for double-cell fabrics.

Cordless and motorized cellular shades also improve safety and ease of use in family homes.

PAIRING WITH OTHER TREATMENTS

Cellular shades work alone or layered with drapery for a softer aesthetic. Many homeowners use cellular shades on standard windows and plantation shutters on formal front-facing rooms.

A whole-home plan ensures consistent performance and coordinated style.
