What Are Cellular Shades?
Cellular Shades — sometimes called Honeycomb Shades — are window shades composed of numerous fabric cells that expand and contract like an accordion when the shade is raised and lowered. The cellular shade cells are designed to trap air, providing great insulation, creating comfortable indoor temperatures and helping to lower energy bills. All of The Shade Store’s Cellular Shades are handcrafted in the USA.
What Is the Difference Between Cellular and Solar Shades?
Custom Cellular Shades are specially designed to soften the natural light or block it out completely, while offering excellent insulation with their unique honeycomb design. Solar Shades, on the other hand, are designed to filter out harmful UV rays, prevent fading and reduce glare — and are designed with a single layer of material, like a Roller Shade.

Our Blackout Cellular Shades are perfect for bedrooms, media rooms and anywhere you need complete darkness.
