Energy-Efficient Cellular Shades Save Money

When clients ask us for comfortable, stylish, and cost-effective window treatments, we often direct them to energy-saving cellular shades. These versatile products offer endless options, filter light beautifully, and can lower utility bills.

Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades near Wilmington, North Carolina (NC)

At Wilmington Blinds & More, we feature luxurious Hunter Douglas cellular window coverings with choices to suit your lifestyle and budget. We can customize your order to fit every window and door size imaginable.

What are Cellular Shades?

Cellular shades, also called honeycomb shades, have a hidden internal layer with a distinctive pattern that resembles a beehive. This unique structure opens to create air pockets that form an insulating barrier. This layer of air regulates temperature, keeping your home warmer when it’s cold outside and vice versa.

Here is cost-effective insulation at its best: Cellular window coverings reduce the workload on a home’s HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system. You’ll feel more comfortable and benefit from less energy consumption and lower utility bills. That insulating layer also absorbs sound for more peace and quiet—it’s a win-win-win situation.

Cellular Window Coverings Provide Other Benefits

Unlike heavier window treatments, cellular shades filter the light instead of blocking it. You can select fabrics to let in more natural light for a radiant glow, which creates a welcoming ambiance. Need to keep out the sunshine? Ask us about different upgrades, including varying opacities and liners.

Cellular shades are easy to care for with regular dustings and light vacuuming and are a great choice if you or your family members have allergies. The honeycomb structure prevents allergens and dust from settling in quickly, promoting a healthier indoor environment.
