Honeycomb Shades
Honeycomb engineering meets smart motorization. Trap air in precision-formed cells to insulate your home while controlling light, privacy, and sound — all from your phone.

Single Cell vs. Double Cell
More cells mean more trapped air, more insulation, and more energy savings. Choose based on your climate needs and budget.
Single Cell
R-2 to R-3One layer of honeycomb cells. Lightweight, affordable, and effective for moderate insulation. Ideal for mild climates and rooms where maximum insulation isn't critical.
Double Cell
R-4 to R-5Two layers of honeycomb cells stacked for superior insulation. Traps more air, blocks more heat transfer, and provides better sound dampening. The premium choice for Idaho's hot summers and cold winters.
Built for Idaho's Climate
Heat Loss Reduction
Double cell honeycomb shades can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 40% in Idaho winters.
Solar Heat Blocked
Room darkening cellular shades block up to 80% of solar heat gain during Boise's hot summers.
Annual Energy Savings
Typical whole-home cellular shade installation saves $200–$400 per year on heating and cooling.
