Cell Shades for Specialty Shapes
Cellular Shades hosts thoughtful construction, practical advantages, and a smooth style. Cellular shades help make your home more comfortable thanks to their precise light control and privacy measures, more energy-efficient due to their insulating design, and more in line with your taste and lifestyle through their numerous customizable features. CrystalPleat® Cellular Shades from Graber® are top-of-the-line cellular shades with superior craftsmanship and design options.
The Benefits of Cellular Construction
Cellular shades are often called honeycomb shades because the spheroid shape of their fabric vanes mimics the hexagonal shape of bee honeycomb. While bees build honeycombs to hold honey, these honeycomb shades hold pockets of air. These air pockets create an insulating layer of protection from hot and cold temperatures. This stabilizes indoor temperatures and reduces the need for costly artificial heating or cooling. In this way, cellular honeycomb shades save homeowners money year-round on monthly energy bills by creating a more energy-efficient household.
Customizable Aesthetic and Operational Features
While cellular shades are one of the most energy efficient window covering on the market, their allure is not purely functional. This style of window treatment also allows for the expression of personal tastes and interior design style. Graber® CrystalPleat® Cellular Shades have several customizable features that can modify both the look and operation of the window treatment.
Fabric Choice
Cellular shades come in an array of fabrics that differ in color, texture, and opacity. The collection of colors from Graber® seems nearly endless with hues spanning the color spectrum including strong earth tones, rich neutrals, soft pastels, bright colors, dark tints, and an entire palette of light and airy shades of white. Fabric choice for honeycomb shades also includes material with different levels of opaqueness, which affects the light control and privacy provided by the window treatment. Graber® CrystalPleat® Cellular Shades come with a choice of four different levels of opacity.
- Sheer: Fabrics that allow in the greatest amount of natural sunlight for diffused yet glowing illumination that offers the lowest level of privacy.
- Semi-Sheer: Fabrics that permit moderate levels of natural sunlight to create a filtered lighting effect with modest levels of privacy.
- Light Filtering: Fabrics that can block light for a room-darkening effect and heightened levels of privacy.
- Blackout: Fabrics with the ultimate level of light-blocking abilities for blackout levels of darkness that also provide utter and complete privacy.
Cell Sizes Choice
In addition to fabric choice, honeycomb shades can be customized by changing the cell size to create window treatments with different proportions and thus different aesthetic looks and purposes. Graber® CrystalPleat® Cellular Shades can be fabricated with your choice of four cell sizes.
- ⅜" Single Cell: The smallest of the cell sizes, the ⅜" single cell has a delicate look and is ideal for small windows because of its low-profile and proportionate cell size.
- ¾" Single Cell: The ¾" single-cell size lies in the goldilocks zone with its moderately sized cells that are great for standard to large size windows.
- 1¼" Single Cell: As the largest of the honeycomb shade cells, the 1¼" single cell is suitable for large or oversized windows, and despite its size, it does not clutter or overwhelm the room.
- ½" Double Cell: The most energy-efficient of the cellular constructions thanks to its unique double-cell design.
Operational Control Choices
To truly integrate your cellular shades into your home the right operating system is needed. Graber® offers several choices for operation control so that shades can match your décor and match your lifestyle.
- Cord Lift: A time tested style with a traditional corded system that produces a smooth, easy lift
- Continuous-Loop Lift: A more contemporary style of the traditional cord lift system that keeps unruly cords in check.
- Cordless: A safer option for small children and pets for whom the hanging cords of traditional systems may pose a safety hazard.
- Motorized Lift: The latest, state-of-the-art system for precise control and user convenience.
Since the operating system affects the daily use and overall enjoyability of shades, it’s incredibly important to choose the style of control that best suits your specific household needs whether that’s a safety conscious shade for families with young kids or an ultra-modern treatment for downtown loft.
