Questions people ask
- Are cellular shades good insulation?
- The air pockets add insulation compared with a flat fabric. Double-cell adds more.
- Single or double cell for top-down bottom-up?
- Single cell costs less and is fine for most rooms. Double cell blocks more light and adds insulation.
- Are honeycomb and cellular shades the same?
- Yes. They are two names for the same shade.
