Room Darkening Cellular Shades
There is a new idea in room darkening shades. Until recently, if you wanted to block the
light from coming into your rooms you had to rely on thick, heavy drapes or unsightly slatted blinds. The trouble
with drapes is they are dust magnets and expensive to clean. Get the machine washable ones, and before long,they
lose their shape. Drapes can also fade and become tattered. Venetian blinds and mini blinds let the light in no
matter how tightly you close the slats. Plantation Shutters might be an option, but they can get pricey, especially
custom made ones.
Now, there is an alternative. You can have a stylish modern look and a darkened room at the same time. How? With
room darkening cellular shades. Otherwise known as honeycomb shades, cellular window shades are light weight and versatile
enough to match any decor from kid's rooms to formal dining rooms. It is the pleated honey combs that makes them
not only able to effectively darken a room but provide excellent insulation as well.
They are perfect for converting that spare room or loft area into a media room. Room darkening cellular
shades are ideal for people who work nights and need to catch some shut eye during the day. No more unsightly
aluminum foil slapped up over your windows. They are wonderful for children's rooms, making nap time and early
bedtime during summer months a breeze.
Cellular shades come in a variety of colors and patterns, yet to the outside world they are white, so you have a
uniform look to your home's exterior. The head rails are designed to match, so you don't have to compromise style
for functionality. The shades mechanisms are neatly tucked away behind the rail.
Plus, for the times you want a little light filtering through, you can either raise cellular from the
top up or bottom down. That way, privacy and view can be yours as
well. They fit to the outside of the window frame, so unlike blinds, no light seeps through the edges. There
are even brackets available which are easy to install and secure the blinds in place. You can even purchase
motorized cellular shades.
Room darkening cellular shades are easy to clean. They will not fade and many come with lifetime guarantees.
They can be ordered to fit any size window from 20 inches all the way up to 96 inches in width and from 12 inches
to 120 inches in height. They meet the child safety standards with one continuous looped cord, so there is no
dangling lines to entice small children and pets.
If you want a sleek, stylish look to your windows and the convenience of controlling how much light filters into
your rooms, consider ordering room darkening cellular shades for every window in your house. Not only will you save
on the energy bills, but they will give your home that professional, unified look. After all, you wouldn't want the
kitchen to be jealous of the nursery or the den to be envious of the formal dining room!
