The hexagonal shape of cellular shades mimics the cell shapes found in the honeycomb of a bee's hive. Since nature has been endowed with a survival technique, we can only assume that the bees have learned that the honeycomb shape provides the greatest strength and storage space; while still being flexible.
Cellular shades are manufactured with a multitude of various sizes of hexagonal cells that are specifically designed to contain pockets of air; instead of honey. Trapped air is one of greatest insulators that we have available to us today. That is why we install double-pane glass windows in our homes. Winter's icy cold air and summer's hot humid air are always trying to invade our homes at the wrong times. Installing this type of shade will provide an effective barrier to this process by lessening the transfer of outside air as well as lessening the transfer of inside air; it doesn't really matter if it is summer or winter.
Since the movement of air is restricted with the use of cellular shades, the transfer of sound is also minimized. If you add to these positive benefits the intriguing beauty of cellular shades, as well as their structural strength, you will probably find that the installing them on your windows will be a worthwhile investment.Cellular shades are available in a wide selection that range from room darkening to translucent shades. They are available in single, double, or triple cell constructions. Some of them can even be adjusted by a remote controlled unit. How great is that?
