Energy-Efficient Shades reduce monthly energy bills, keep cold air out in winter and prevent heat gain in summer. They do this by insulating the window with a layer of fabric.

Energy efficient exterior shades also shield buildings from excess glare that can cause headaches and reduced productivity. Additionally, they help maintain a sustainable corporate image.

Cellular Shades

If you’re looking for a window treatment that’s a real powerhouse when it comes to energy efficiency, cellular shades (also known as honeycomb shades) are your answer. These energy-efficient shades are designed with a special insulating fabric that creates air pockets to help prevent hot and cold air from entering your home, helping you save money on energy costs throughout the year.

The defining feature of these window treatments is their honeycomb shape that’s created by the long, horizontal “cells” arranged vertically in the shade. The cells trap air to help block out outside heat during the summer and cold air during the winter, ensuring that your home stays at a comfortable temperature year-round.

In addition to their energy-saving benefits, cellular shades are available in a wide range of attractive textures and colors to complement every home design style. Plus, they offer a variety of light control and privacy options, including a top-down/bottom-up lift system that allows you to open your shades from the bottom or the top. You can even combine two cellular shades in one window covering to maximize privacy and light control.

Aside from saving on energy costs, cellular shades also help to protect your furniture and artwork from harmful UV rays that can fade over time due to prolonged exposure. That’s why all LEVOLOR cellular shades are GreenGuard Gold Certified and work to keep your home healthy and safe.

For those who want to take their energy-efficiency to the next level, LEVOLOR offers cordless cellular shades as well, which are ideal for young children and pets. Simply choose the cordless option to eliminate any risk of accidental snagging and allow you to enjoy the simplicity of operating your window shades with just the push of a button. Plus, they can be integrated with smart home systems to add voice activation and automation for an extra level of convenience.

Originally designed in ancient Rome, these window treatments have since become one of the most popular types of window blinds on the market. They are available in a wide range of fabrics, colors, styles, and lift options to suit your unique style preferences.

Sonnette Roller Shades

When it comes to combining style and energy efficiency, Sonnette cellular roller shades are the masters of subtlety.

That second layer, which is undetectable, helps make these cellular shades among the most energy-efficient on the market.

They offer the insulating pockets of honeycomb shades with the simplistic operation of roller shades, and they come in a variety of opacities to meet your needs. They also provide UV protection to help protect your interior furnishings from sun damage. Plus, they roll up into a headrail to present a clean, streamlined appearance.

The rounded cellular construction is a perfect solution for large windows in your home, and the available colors and fabrics will help you blend them into your interior design seamlessly.

And don’t forget to add light control and privacy by choosing a semi-opaque or room darkening backing.

Sonnette cellular roller shades are operated with a cordless design, which removes strangling hazards from your home and makes them safer for homes with young children and pets. You can operate them manually by adjusting the cordless lift tabs using LiteRise, or you can upgrade to the SoftTouch Motorization system that offers simple and intuitive wand-controlled operation. With PowerView, you can even synchronize and schedule your shades to move automatically on their own throughout the day.

You can make your new Hunter Douglas Sonnette cellular roller shades uniquely yours by selecting the fabric and color options that are best for you and your family.
