The Boundless Benefits of Cellular Shades
Cellular shades combine form and function exceptionally well, which is why they are one of the most popular styles of window shades among homeowners. With your choice of texture, color, pleat size, and opacity, you can design a truly unique custom cellular shade solution with Sunburst Shutters. Along with the ability to tailor your cellular window shades, there are other benefits that make them a great choice for homeowners.
Energy Efficiency: Because of their unique, accordion-shaped design and temperature blocking material, cellular shades are one of the better options for insulating homes in summer or winter. Their accordion shape creates air pockets that can block heat transfer, thus reducing effects from extreme heat or cold.
Light Control & Privacy: At Sunburst Shutters, we offer a variety of custom cellular window shade options that range from more translucent to solid shades. Whether you are in the market for room darkening or sheer shades, we have options that offer optimal light filtering and control.
Cordless Cellular Shades: Get rid of unsightly cords and make your space safer for children and pets with either cordless or motorized cellular shade options. Our motorized lift system is a great solution for hard-to-reach windows and allows homeowners to pre-program light-filtering settings for their cellular window shades.
Why Are They Called Honeycomb Shades?
Cellular shades are often called honeycomb shades due to their unique shape. They are made up of adjoining fabric cells that fold like an accordion. When lowered, the air pocket between both sides of the fabric cells gives the appearance of a honeycomb-like structure, hence the name! As a result, the unique design of honeycomb shades makes them the most energy-efficient shade out there.

Cellular shades, also known as honeycomb shades, are a stylish and versatile window treatment that offer great energy efficiency and unique customization options. When cellular shades are closed, the gap between the pieces of fabric has a honeycomb-like shape, which is why they are also called honeycomb shades.
Depending on the type of fabric chosen, use a dry microfiber cloth or vacuum to delicately clean your cellular shades. For vacuums, a brush attachment is advised for safest cleaning.
Most cellular shades tend to last between 5 and 10 years. If properly installed and taken care of, homeowners can expect maximum life expectancy from their cellular shades.
Compared to other types of window shades, cellular shades are the most energy-efficient option available. Cellular shades can block heat from entering, as well as reduce heat loss during colder or winter months.

Warranty
Like all window shades offered by Sunburst, our cellular shades come with a warranty against any and all manufacturing defects in material, design, workmanship, and installation. Cords and mechanisms are covered for 3 years. Fabric and any motorization is covered for 5 years.
Installation
Proper installation of custom cellular shades is almost as important as the product itself—an improperly installed shade can be tough to open and can get damaged easily. At Sunburst Shutters, we install your cellular window shades precisely and check that each one operates perfectly with our own, in-house professional installation crew.
Our local store will call you to set up an installation day and time that works for your schedule. Before the installers arrive, we ask that you remove all old window treatments and move furniture out of the way. This makes it easy for our installation team to get right to work on your new cellular shades.
