cellular shades block out all natural light from entering the room

Room darkening shades also known as cellular shades, black out shades, and honeycomb shades are more than just popular. They also help conserve energy. They do it so well that many brands qualify for tax cuts. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Federal Tax Credit for Energy Efficiency allows for a tax credit of 30% on qualifying products, up to $1500. This includes room darkening shades.

 The main purpose is to conserve energy. Cellular shades are the best examples. They come in single, double and triple honeycomb. Each honeycomb increases the efficiency of the shade. In the summer months, the shades keep the ultraviolet light out of the house and the cool air conditioning inside. You choose a dark color to face the inside of your house and a bright color reflects the light outside. This way the sunlight reflects right back outside keeping your house nice and cool.

Black out shades work great for anyone sensitive to light. If you have trouble sleeping, then these are ideal for you. They block out the light during the day so those who work the night shift can sleep peacefully during the day. Migraine sufferers like the honeycomb shades as well. They block out the penetrating sunlight and anyone who suffers from migraines knows this can be a problem.

That is the best part about the new shades. Most of the time, cellular shades are installed on a spring roller. This makes them easy to open and close. Therefore, you can let in as much or as little light as you want. If you want to block out all the light, you can do that. Or if you want to let in light, you can do that as well. It is completely up to you.

The shades block out all natural light from entering the room and completely block out the glare. This means that you won’t get the harsh glare from the sun. Whether you are trying to work on the computer or simply trying to enjoy a movie, everything is easier when you have cellular blinds installed in your home. Imagine not having to strain to see the TV or computer again. It does make the investment worthwhile.

With energy costs this season estimated to go through the roof, there are viable ways to maximize the energy efficiency of your home with the proper window coverings. Hitting home for many families is the ever-increasing cost of energy.  If you live in a tropical climate you are probably feeling the pinch of energy costs. I have lived in florida for many years and I am acutely aware of this.  It seems that every year the prices just keep going up. There are ways to dramatically improve the energy efficiency of your home and one of them is with the right types of window blinds and shades.  One of the best types of window treatments for insulation is cellular shades. They come in single and double cells.  The double cell shades offer the greatest level of insulation both for hot and cold weather. However, both types of shades are specially designed to keep the heat in and the cold out.
The single and double-cell construction of cellular window shades not only provide the highest level of insulation, but also filter out harsh UV rays that can damage interiors and upholstery in your home. Both come with the usual upgrades like Top down, Bottom up, cordless, continuous cord loop, and even motorization.  Just to be clear the cordless option allows you to raise or lower the shade by pulling on the bottom rail, a good option if you have children.  A continuous cord loop is basically a clutch mechanism that keeps the cord at the same length when you raise or lower the blind so that the cord isn’t either way up high or all the way to the floor.  The Top down, Bottom up option is just like it sounds, you can lower the top half of the shade or the bottom half of the shade, or both.  Additional options for both shade types include a wide variety of colors and fabrics, as well as light filtering or privacy liners.  In addition, if you get a blackout shade, insulation is generally increased further. Our cellular shades, also known as cell or honeycomb window shades are made from 100% woven polyester fabric for durability and offer many years of resilience against wear and tear. Cellular shades can actually pay for themselves with the money saved in energy cost. In today’s economy it’s definitely a wise economic decision.
