Why We love Energy Efficient Cellular Shades

Alton Bay Blinds • Mar 18, 2024

Energy savings, sound absorption, elegance, and light control cover almost everything most people could ask for from a window treatment, and cellular shades offer all of it. At Alton Bay Blinds in Hampton, New Hampshire, we carry window treatments from Hunter Douglas, Norman, Graber, and Alta to provide you with the best selection of the highest quality products on the market. Energy-saving blinds and shades, like cellular shades, are among our top products. Why are cellular shades worth it? Take a look at four reasons!

#1: Energy Savings

Blinds and shades that are energy efficient save you money. By reducing heat transfer, they cut your energy costs and save you money on your energy bill at the end of the month. Cellular shades do this because their small cells fill with hot air that tries to pass through the window. As they fill, they press against the window and reduce the heat transfer by acting like insulation. Since the heat can’t go in or out, they keep the heat in your home in winter and keep it out in summer.

#2: Sound Absorption

Since the unique shape of energy-saving cellular shades offers insulation, when the cells fill with air, they also block outside sound, so your home is quieter. Some people use them as panels between rooms. You could also use cellular shades in a quieter room, like a nursery, media room, or recording studio.

#3: Light Control

Select from a wide range of fabrics in opacities ranging from sheer to room darkening. You can combine sheer or semi-sheer fabric with room-darkening fabric in the same shade to get the best of both worlds. The shades operate independently, so you can get light when you want and energy-efficient privacy when you don’t.

#4: Color and Style

The tailored appearance of cellular shades adds a subtle elegance and style to any window. They also come in hundreds of colors, so you can choose a neutral that complements any décor changes you’ll make over the years, or you can choose a color you love and make it a focal point.

Cellular shades are one of the few window treatments that can go on any window, including skylights, arches, trapezoids, ovals, and sliding glass doors. This allows you to create a whole-home solution with matching window treatments and removes any need for you to worry about these treatments fitting in your home.
