Cellular Shades & Honeycomb Window Shades

Clean cellular shades with light dusting first, because the pleated honeycomb fabric should not be soaked or scrubbed. Use a microfiber cloth, feather duster, or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment on low suction.

For everyday care, follow these steps:

• Dust along the pleats gently
• Vacuum on low suction if dust builds up
• Use a can of compressed air or a hair dryer on the cool setting to blow dust out of the honeycomb cells
• Blot small spots with a slightly damp cloth
• Let the fabric air dry before raising the shade
• Avoid harsh cleaners or heavy moisture

If you choose motorized cellular window shades, do not pull the shade by hand during cleaning. Keep the headrail and shade path clear so the fabric can move smoothly.

Yes. Cellular shades help keep heat out by trapping air inside their honeycomb-shaped fabric cells. This extra layer slows heat transfer through the window, making them an energy efficient option for rooms that feel too warm in the afternoon.

They are especially practical for south-facing or west-facing windows, bedrooms, nurseries, and home offices. By reducing heat gain at the window, cellular shades can also help your cooling system work less and may help save money on energy costs over time.

Bringnox motorized cellular window shades currently start at $139 on the collection page. Prestige fabric styles start at $159, Top Down Bottom Up styles start at $219, and Day Night cellular shades start at $269.

The right price level depends on the function you need. Choose standard motorized cellular shades for simple daily light control. Choose Top Down Bottom Up if you want daylight from the top while keeping privacy at eye level. Choose Day Night honeycomb shades if you want soft daytime light and stronger nighttime privacy in one shade.

Yes. Cellular shades can reduce some outside noise because the honeycomb fabric adds a layered barrier between the window and the room. They will not make a room soundproof, but they can soften everyday noise from streets, neighbors, or outdoor activity.

For best results, choose a size that covers the window well. Better coverage around the glass can help reduce light gaps, drafts, and some sound movement at the same time.

Cellular shades are better if you care more about insulation, privacy, softer light, and noise reduction. Their honeycomb structure adds depth at the window and helps create a more comfortable room.

Roller shades are better if you want a slim, flat, minimal look. They are simple to match with modern rooms, but they usually do not offer the same insulating structure as cellular window shades.
