At Beginning to End Interiors window treatments near Sarasota, Florida, cellular shades have always been a best-selling window treatment because of their streamlined profile and energy efficiency. You can layer these shades, also known as honeycomb shades, with valances and drapery.

We customize cellular shades with enhancements that add to their value and beauty. One of these choices is the double cell option from Hunter Douglas. When comparing double cell vs. single cell shades, there are several differences to consider.

What are Cellular Shades?

Cellular shades are horizontal window treatments with built-in, hexagonal, or honeycomb-shaped pockets. When open, the pockets insulate your windows and doors by preventing air exchange between the inside and outside. This barrier regulates indoor temperatures, saving home and business owners money on air-conditioning and heating bills. It also absorbs sound, making it an excellent choice for light sleepers.

Single cellular shades have one layer of pockets that fold when you raise them. You can customize them with various opacities, from sheer to blackout, giving you control over the light you allow into your space. Our clients also appreciate the clean, uncluttered aesthetic and versatility of cellular shades.

Double Cell Shades Offer More Insulation

Hunter Douglas offers single cell and double cell shades in two product lines to keep your home comfortable year-round.

Duette® Cellular Shades

Crafted with single cell construction, Duette® Honeycomb Shades feature an exceptional selection of luxury fabrics with ⅜", ¾", or 1 ¼" pleat sizes. We can custom-fit them for the following window and door openings:

Horizontal

Vertical

As the most energy-efficient Hunter Douglas window covering available, Duette® Architella® has a unique cell-within-a-cell design. It has similar features and sizing to the Duette® Honeycomb Shades single cell design but with additional insulation.

Control Options

You can order Hunter Douglas cellular shades with a cord loop, push/pull, or retractable wand option. The PowerView® Automation enhancement motorizes the shades, allowing you to control the shades with a remote, app, or voice command.
