Cellular Honeycomb Shades
Energy efficiency is always at the forefront of any homeowner's mind. Keeping the thermostat at a regulated temperature or setting it lower in winter and higher in summer can help with keeping your home energy efficient, but that is not the only step you can take. There are other things you can do around your home that will have surprising benefits when it comes to energy efficiency.
For example, the windows in your home are one of the most beautiful features, but they are also a major spot where hot or cold air can enter your home. Making changes here will have a cascade of effects on the rest of your home.
Honeycomb Cellular Shades by Hunter Douglas have an outstanding record of improving your home's energy efficiency. They have a solid reputation and are known for their quality materials, durability, style, and functionality. Here at Potomac Paint & Design Center, we are proud to carry both Duette® Cellular Shades and Sonnette® Roller Shades, both made with honeycomb insulating technology.
FAQ ABOUT CELLULAR HONEYCOMB SHADES
-
Absolutely. Hunter Douglas cellular shades are comprised of air-trapping honeycomb pockets. So instead of the hot or cold air entering your home, it is caught within the fabric cell, adding a layer of insulation that prevents more air or energy from moving around.
-
Cellular Honeycomb Shades are offered in various fabrics ranging in various levels of opacities, including blackout and light-filtering. For even more light control, you can always add the DuoLite® feature to our Duette® Cellular Shades. This feature integrates two honeycomb shades into one, letting you darken the room and filter the light.
-
Very well. 70% of the sound can be absorbed with cellular shades. The same pockets that catch and trap the air also trap sound. So any outdoor noises will be kept at bay, making your home peaceful and tranquil.
-
Many. Our cellular shades can fit any type or size of window. Whether you want to cover a sliding glass door, a skylight, or geometrically shaped windows such as arches, circles, octagons, ovals, and more, our Potomac Paint team can ensure you get the exact fit you need.

STYLES OF CELLULAR HONEYCOMB SHADES
Hunter Douglas offers a variety of cellular honeycomb shades, and all are constructed from honeycomb technology which is the ultimate in energy efficiency. If you aren't sure which type of cellular shades are best for your home, our experts can easily demonstrate each style.
Duette® Cellular Shades
Offered in neat, parallel pleats, these shades keep a permanently crisp shape and superior insulating qualities. The Duette® Architella® style, with its honeycomb within a honeycomb design, will add even more insulation since the number of air-trapping cells is basically doubled.
Offered in scores of durable fade and sag-resistant fabrics, these shades will add a beautiful distinction to your home. Another option is the Duette® Alustra® collection which provides a generous assortment of designer fabrics, textures, and colors. With brackets, end caps, headrails, and more, you can add a metallic highlight for a rich, stunning look.
Sonnette® Roller Shades
Are a unique combination of the simple design of a roller shade with the energy efficiency of a cellular shade. When rolled up, they disappear entirely in the headrail, expanding your viewing vision. These shades are offered in semi-opaque to room-darkening opacities with a 2" cell size.
Their gentle curves add visual interest and provide a dimensional beauty not seen in other kinds of window treatments. They are also offered in a large collection of beautiful fabrics and textures in subtle earth tones, to a selection of whites, greys, and blues. They are perfect for larger windows and doors as they are available in wider widths.
