Choosing the Right Honeycomb Shades
If you’re in the market for new window fashions, the honeycomb shade might be the right option for you. First developed decades ago, the honeycomb shade offers many features, benefits, and options. At Altra Home Décor here in Phoenix, we can help you determine if it’s the right style for you and then figure out the right option for your home. We’ll start by asking you the following questions:
- Which room will you use the shades in?
- Are you looking for light filtering or total darkness?
- What type of window is this for—small window, slider, specialty shape?
- Do you need the shade in a vertical or horizontal application?
- Does the window get a lot of direct sunlight that puts harmful UV rays into the room?
- What sort of operating system do you want—cordless, motorized, top-down/bottom-up?
Once we know the answers to these questions, we’ll be able to find the right solution to meet your needs and budget.
About Honeycomb Shades
The honeycomb shade name comes from the shade’s unique construction, which looks like a beehive and traps air before it reaches the room. These shades are inherently energy efficient and are also great for soundproofing, light control, and specialty window shapes. These accordion-style shades are constructed from soft fabrics in a variety of pleat sizes and come in sheer, semi-sheer, semi-opaque, opaque, room darkening, and blackout options. The honeycomb shade has come a long way since it was first developed decades ago. Now, you have many options to make your honeycomb shade work for you.
Operating Systems
One of the most overlooked options when selecting window treatments is the operating systems. If your windows are high and hard to reach, consider PowerView® Motorization. If you have children or just don’t like the look of cords, consider LiteRise®. We have a wide variety of operating choices for you to select from—just let us know your needs, and we’ll be sure to offer you the best choice for your situation.
