How Do You Mount Cellular Shades In The Most Energy Efficient Way?
Mount cellular shades one of two ways: inside the window frame or outside the window frame. Both mounting techniques will help insulate the window, but because the outside mount covers the window completely, it provides the most energy-efficient way to mount a cellular shade. Cellular Shades and Energy Efficiency Cellular shades are also called honeycomb shades because of the shape of the cross-section of the shade materials. This design creates dead air spaces in the fabric, forming a barrier between the window and the room. Cellular shades are available in single-cell construction and double-cell construction. Double-cell cellular shades are the most energy-efficient style of cellular shades. Cellular shades are constructed out of four different fabric weights–sheer, non-woven, woven and blackout–and the different fabric weights determine the energy efficiency level of the cellular shade. Sheer cellular shades are constructed out of see-through fabrics in an array of colors to fit
