Cellular Shades (Honeycomb Shades): Energy Efficiency Meets Style

Their unique honeycomb design creates air pockets that provide superior insulation, helping to keep homes cooler in the scorching Arizona heat and reduce energy costs. Available in a variety of colors and styles, these shades not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of any room but also offer versatile light control and privacy settings, making them a smart and stylish addition to any Arizona home.
"Great looking cellular shades and good quality. Sales and Installation teams were friendly and knowledgeable. It took a month to get them installed from the order date, but that was communicated from day one."
Cellular Shades: Energy Efficiency & Sound Absorbing
Cellular shades, also called honeycomb shades, are one of our Rapid Blinds most popular window coverings. Offering a unique blend of style, versatility and energy efficiency and alternative to the traditional window blinds. And with ever increasing energy costs, conservation is now more important than ever with window treatments. Cellular honeycomb shades distinctive cellular construction traps a layer of air within the cells, providing a protective barrier against extreme temperatures insulating your home against the elements to help reduce your Phoenix Arizona heating and cooling bills.
For exceptionally hot Phoenix Arizona windows our double cell cellular shade fabrics provide an additional layer of insulation. Cellular honeycomb shades also have superior sound absorption, making your surroundings quieter and more comfortable. Ideal for children’s rooms or theater rooms.
"Rapid Blinds was a referral to us from2 previous customers and we are extremely happy with the look and installation of our cellular blinds from Rapid Blinds. The whole process of ordering to install went very smooth. The gentlemen who came to our home to do install were the most polite and friendliest people. They went above and beyond and even offered to carry out our empty moving boxes. My husband even made the comment, "now I know why they are called Rapid Blinds! They were fast!" I will use them again if the need arose and would absolutely recommend Rapid Blinds."
Modern Look with Cellular Honeycomb Shades
Their unique design offers a modern look, providing an inner channel that hides cords. Because these cellular shades Phoenix are made of durable polyester fabric, they are stain resistant, washable and wrinkle resistant. Available in single or double cell, as well as several pleat sizes. These shades are even available in a vertical application, ideal for sliding glass doors, allowing the same fabric to be on windows and doors in the same room. A neutral white backing provides a uniform look to the outside.
How energy efficient are cellular shades?
Cellular shades are highly regarded for their exceptional energy efficiency, a standout feature that stems from their unique design. Composed of fabric that forms honeycomb-shaped air pockets, these shades act as insulators for windows, effectively reducing heat transfer from the outside in summer and retaining interior warmth during winter. This cellular structure creates a barrier that can significantly lessen the demand on heating and cooling systems, leading to noticeable energy savings.
The efficiency of cellular shades can vary depending on the number of cells (single or double) and the fabric's opacity, with options designed to address specific energy needs and preferences of any household. The energy savings associated with cellular shades are not just beneficial for reducing utility bills but also for enhancing the comfort of living spaces. By maintaining more consistent indoor temperatures, they contribute to a more comfortable and sustainable home environment.
Furthermore, when integrated into smart home systems, motorized cellular shades can be programmed to open and close at optimal times of the day, maximizing natural light and insulation. This intelligent use of technology not only boosts their energy efficiency but also offers a level of convenience and control that aligns with modern living standards, further establishing cellular shades as a superior choice for energy-conscious consumers.
Cords? No Cords? Go Up, Come Down, Slide to the Side
Our cellular shades offer versatile design options to fit all the windows in your Phoenix Arizona home. You can choose to have your cellular honeycomb shades go in just about any direction and operate any way you would like. Cellular shades are much lighter than other window coverings such as wood blinds and offer a variety of control options. The continues loop cord can be positioned on either side of your cellular honeycomb shade and quickly raise or lowers your cellular shade to any position you desire.
For larger window treatments and window blinds we recommend our continuous cord loop headrail. A popular option, especially for wide, heavier window coverings. A continuous cord loop opens and closes the shade smoothly and evenly. Eliminates the traditional dangling cord, adding child safety and a neater appearance. A special clutch system keeps the shade at the desired height. For the ultimate in safety consider cellular honeycomb shades with cordless operation or motorized which is a great choice for putting a shade behind a shutter for extra light and heat control. This popular option provides a hidden control system that eliminates the lift cord and enables the shade to be easily raised or lowered with the touch of a finger. A special clutch system keeps the shade at the desired height. Great for child and pet safety too.
Cellular honeycomb shades in Phoenix can be made as top down/bottom up cellular honeycomb shades. The top down/bottom up cellular honeycomb shades can be raised from the bottom or lowered from the top. When raised, the material rises from the bottom of the cellular honeycomb shade and stacks on the top. When lowered the material lowers from the top of the cellular honeycomb shade and rests on the bottom.
"We went with the honeycomb style blinds and they're such a huge improvement over the original installs on the house. Rapid Blinds had a discount promotion when we ordered so we saved quite a bit on the total cost. They offer a free estimate and measuring, and the rep was good about communicating when to expect the blinds to be ready. Installation was fast, it only took 30 minutes for a team of 4 to do 12windows."

Can cellular shades block out all light?
Cellular shades are designed with versatility in mind, offering a range of light control options from sheer to opaque, allowing homeowners to customize the level of light filtration to suit their needs. Specifically, blackout cellular shades are constructed with a dense fabric that can block out virtually all incoming light, making them an ideal choice for bedrooms, home theaters, and any room where complete darkness is desired.
The effectiveness of these shades in blocking out light not only contributes to better sleep by creating a darker environment but also enhances privacy and reduces the potential for screen glare, providing optimal conditions for media viewing or computer use. The design of cellular shades, particularly those with a blackout feature, minimize light ensuring an even higher degree of darkness.
This attention to detail in their construction means that when properly installed, blackout cellular shades can significantly reduce or even eliminate light entry. As such, they offer an effective solution for shift workers, parents of young children, or anyone sensitive to light during sleeping hours, underscoring their utility and effectiveness in creating adaptable living spaces tailored to the individual needs of homeowners.

Single Cell or Double Cell Honeycomb Shades
Cellular honeycomb shades come in various shapes and sizes. From small cell sizes to large cell sizes, single cell honeycomb shades or double cell honeycomb shades. Typically a double cell cellular honeycomb shade will have slightly higher R-Value than a single cell cellular honeycomb shade. The higher the R-Value the more insulating a cellular honeycomb shade is.
However often a larger single cell cellular honeycomb shade will have a R-Value as high as or even higher than a smaller double cell cellular honeycomb shade. Also the density of the cellular material you are selecting will affect the R-value as well. Sometimes smaller single cell shades are a better choice for places like french doors or smaller windows over showers. Whereas larger cell cellular honeycomb shades are commonly used for larger windows for a less busy look.
