Cellular / Honeycomb

Honeycomb shades are also called cellular shades. This is due to their unique construction, which is a honeycomb shaped fabric material that collapses when pulled open. Cellular shades provide excellent insulation.

Roman Shades

Roman Shades are very versatile with 4 unique fold styles. Roman shades are also very easy to install. Roman shades are the window shade most closely associated with a drapery look, as the material will cascade.

Roller Shades

Roller shades are the original window shade. Roller shades can be ordered to roll to the outside or inside. Roller shades include the sun control sheer weave line of shades.

Woven / Bamboo

Woven shades and bamboo blinds can breathe new life into a room that has grown old to you. Woven wood shades can be ordered as light filtering shades, or add a liner to make them either room darkening shades, or even blackout shades.

Sheer Shades

Sheer shades will insulate your windows, and give your room a designer inspired sophisticated look. Sheer shades can work like a horizontal blind or a traditional window shade.

Pleated Shades

Pleated shades have been called half a cell shade because they work like a honeycomb shade, but have just one layer of material. Having said that, pleated shades are a popular window shade, and give a soft look to your window.

Window shades have grown in popularity over the past few years. There is an easy explanation for the growth in window shades as window coverings. The window shade category has grown because of the influx of new products such as sheer shades, Roman shades, and natural wood shades. There is even new technology in honeycomb shades. Window shades are also now recognized as having energy saving properties, making them an excellent choice for the cost conscious consumer.

Roller shades are a great example of new technology in the window shade segment of the window covering business. Roller shades are no longer a simple sheet of vinyl rolled onto a cylinder, with a pull cord added to raise or lower the roller shade. Roller shades are now available as sun control shades that can block 95% of UV rays.

Window shades have historically been either raised to allow a view through to the outside, or lowered to provide privacy. If you wanted the ability to have a view without raising the window covering, you would have to opt for a horizontal window blind. Today there are window shades that provide the same functionality. Sheer shades actually have a fabric horizontal blind in the center of 2 outer shades. Although not completely open to the outside, the sheer shade is an excellent insulating shade that when in the open position, allows you to see through the sheer material quite easily.

The latest technology in honeycomb shades is the SelectBlinds VuThru insulating blind. This cell shade actually opens very much like a horizontal window blind, yet provides the soft look and feel of a traditional honeycomb shade. The VuThru insulating blind is also at the top of the list for providing insulation in a window covering.
