Cellular Blinds Can Turn Uncomfortable Into Cozy In An Instant.

Tired of being uncomfortable in your home? Cellular blinds can keep you warm in winter and active in summer. There is no need to be uncomfortable, temperature wise, in your own home.

Let the sun shine and the wind and snow blow, with cell shades on your window your going to be comfy all year long.

Those little cells of dead air space are what does the trick. They stop the heat and cold right in their tracks. In the summer you can put your hand next to the front of the shade and feel nothing, bring your hand around to the back or behind the shade and it's a different story. It will be so hot that you won't be able to leave your hand there but a few seconds.

Try that with any other type of blinds and not much happens. You could probably leave your hand behind all day and all you would get is a nice sunburnt hand.

Not all cell shades are created equal. There are three privacy and light control levels.

1. Semi-opaque - Light and dark shapes may be seen, but details are not visible. Deep fabric colors provide moderate light control, while light colors filter and diffuse bright sunlight and provide low light control.
2. Opaque - These fabrics provide privacy: objects in a lighted room would appear as vague shapes. Deep fabric colors darken a room; light colors filter and diffuse bright sunlight.
3. Blackout - Blackout fabrics are by nature opaque, providing privacy and blocking the light completely.

The semi-opaque and the opaque fabrics are translucent and their colors will be influenced by the degree of light coming through them. Colors will appear to vary depending on the time of day and angle of the sun, as well as whether the shade is partially or fully lowered.

Thats the beauty of these cellular blinds. The differing degree of light coming through the shades causes the ambiance in the room to change with the time of day.

One of lifes better moments is with a full afternoon sun coming through these shades. Sitting down with a good cup of tea or coffee and just letting the color and ambiance wash over you, taking with it the cares of the day. Life is Good!

Cellular blinds are not only great insulators but they are terrific sound absorbers. The just soak up the sound and mellow it all out.

There are a couple of drawbacks to cell shades that you need to be aware of:

1. You can't see out when they are lowered and there is no way to adjust this other than to raise the shade losing your privacy.
2. They are not cleaning friendly. So I would never use them in the kitchen where they could get splattered or stained.

Cell shades come in either single or double cells. The difference being that the double cell shades are almost twice as energy efficient as the single cell shades.
Hunter Douglas the inventor of the cellular blind has come out with an entirely new concept in cell design. Instead of putting the second cell adjacent to the first, as has been the norm for quite some time, they have taken the second cell and placed it inside the first cell creating not two but three dead air spaces.

This new construction should greatly increase the R-value of these shades.

Cellular blinds are a great addition to your home at any time of the year. With the price of energy getting higher and higher all the time the addition of these blinds to your home will put a smile on your face and some coin back in your pocket.
