Cellular / Honeycomb Shades in Toronto & the GTA
Cellular shades, also called honeycomb shades, are made of pleated fabric formed into air-trapping cells. That structure insulates the window, so they are the most energy-efficient shade for Canadian winters and hot summers. Options include light-filtering and blackout fabrics, top-down/bottom-up operation and cordless or motorized lift.
- Older drafty windows
- Bedrooms & nurseries
- Basements
- Top-down privacy on street-facing rooms

Lower from the top for light and sky while keeping the bottom private.
Day / night

How cellular / honeycomb shades are quoted
Every window is different, so we don't publish one-size-fits-all prices. Your quote depends on window size, fabric or material, operation (cordless, chain or motorized) and mount. After a free in-home measure, you get a clear written quote per window — before tax, with no inflated "sale" pricing.

Do cellular shades really save energy?
They insulate better than most other window coverings because of their air pockets. Actual savings depend on your windows, home and habits, so we don't promise a percentage.
What does top-down/bottom-up mean?
The shade can be lowered from the top and raised from the bottom, so you can let light in through the top of the window while keeping privacy below.
How do I clean honeycomb shades?
Dust lightly and use a hair dryer on the cool setting to blow out the cells.
