Did you know that up to 30% of energy loss happens at the window? If you’re looking to save on your energy budget, cellular shades are among the top ideas for window coverings because they keep your inside air in and outside air out. Plus, cellular shades are also a fantastic aesthetic upgrade to your window treatments with dozens and dozens of fabrics options to choose from, so you can ensure that they will look great in any space.

At The Blind Guy, we provide the greater Flathead Valley with fashionable and functional window coverings from leading brands like Alta, Graber, and Hunter Douglas. Read on to learn more about the pleated and honeycomb shade options from some of our favorite window treatment manufacturers and why they are a great solution for your home!

Alta Honeycomb Shades are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Their unique honeycomb construction creates air pockets that act as insulators, reducing heat transfer through windows and helping maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round.

With over 500 fabric options, Alta Honeycomb Shades are available in an array of colors and textures—perfect for complementing any interior design. These shades come in four different opacities, from sheer to blackout, allowing you to control light and privacy according to your needs. 

Alta Honeycomb Shades come in several motorized, corded, and cord free operation styles, including vertical applications, top-down/bottom-up operation, and the ability to combine multiple fabrics on one shade so these window coverings can suit any situation or any space

Graber Cellular Shades

Graber Cellular Shades stand out for their superior energy-saving capabilities and their versatility in design. Graber's option also utilizes a honeycomb-shaped layer to trap air and insulate your home. What sets Graber apart is their focus on using eco-friendly materials, ensuring that your window treatments are not only energy-efficient but also environmentally conscious. 

Whether your style is modern or traditional, Graber Cellular Shades offer the customization options to match your home's aesthetic beautifully. Available in vertical, top-down, and dual orientations with cell size options that range from 9/16” to 1 ¼” single cell to ½” double cell, you’re bound to find an option you’ll love. These shades come with corded, cordless, beaded loop, and motorization options, so you can enjoy the control you like the best. With Graber Cellular Shades, there truly is a shade for every solution.

Hunter Douglas Cellular Shades

Hunter Douglas is a name synonymous with quality and innovation in window treatments, and their cellular shades are no exception. These shades are engineered to deliver even higher energy efficiency through a design that includes multiple air pockets.

Hunter Douglas also offers a unique feature: the ability to integrate these shades into smart home systems, allowing for effortless adjustment to optimize insulation throughout the day. Their Duette® Cellular Shades or Sonnette® Roller Shades are an excellent choice for those looking to combine cutting-edge technology with elegant design.

Insulation and Tax Rebates

Beyond the beauty and functionality of cellular shades, there's an added bonus—they can contribute to your home's energy efficiency in a way that's recognized by the U.S. government. Thanks to the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners may be eligible for 2024 tax rebates and credits by making energy-efficient improvements to their homes. Installing qualifying cellular shades could not only lower your energy bills but also provide a financial incentive in the form of a tax rebate for 2024. It's advisable to consult with a tax professional to understand how you can benefit from these opportunities.
