Read on to learn about honeycomb shades—and in particular, about the Applause® Honeycomb Shade from Hunter Douglas.
Honeycomb: A History
Introduced in the mid-80s, honeycomb shades (also called cellular blinds or shades) have evolved through the years and are still very popular today. Customers love honeycomb shades for tehri superior privacy, insulation, and light control. And more, they love the level of energy efficiency honeycombs offer to a room. With their unique construction, honeycomb shades trap outside air in their pockets, helping to keep a room cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Applause® Honeycomb Shades
Applause honeycomb shades might be the right choice for you if you are looking for energy savings at an affordable price but still want the quality of the Hunter Douglas brand. Applause is created with a double cell, which offers increased insulation over regular single-cell construction. Applause can be customized for windows of specialty shapes, including arches, angles, ovals, skylights, and more.
Operating Systems
Applause is available with a variety of operating systems. Among others, you can choose from UltraGlide®, LiteRise®, EasyGlide™, and PowerView®. Plus, if you need a vertically oriented treatment, you can go with Vertiglide™, which turns the honeycomb material vertical, letting you have a matching treatment in a room that has, for example, a regular window and a sliding glass door.
