The Benefits of Choosing Honeycomb Shades For Your Home's Windows

If you're looking for new window treatments, consider honeycomb shades. These stylish shades are perfect to use alone on all the windows in your home. You won't need to hide them under drapes. The shades are custom-made for a perfect fit no matter the shape of your windows. In addition to being attractive, the shades are also energy efficient. Here are five benefits of honeycomb shades.

1. They Provide Insulation for Your Windows

Honeycomb shades have a unique design. Instead of being flat like other types of shades, these have a unique honeycomb design that contains air pockets. The air pockets act as insulation that muffles noise and helps with climate control.

These shades help your home stay cool when it's hot outdoors and warm in cold weather, and you may even notice a difference in your power bills when your windows are more efficient.

2. Honeycomb Shades Are Attractive

These shades have a pleasing appearance due to the way they resemble honeycomb, so they are an attractive addition to any room in your home. Plus, they are available in many colors, so it's easy to find honeycomb shades that match your home's decor.

You can get light-filtering or blackout shades to let in just the right amount of light that's suitable and the most attractive for your living areas.

3. The Shades Are Ideal for All Rooms

Honeycomb shades are beneficial for every room in your home so your home can have a consistent look in window treatments. Blackout shades are perfect for bedrooms and children's rooms when you want extra privacy, sound muffling, temperature control, and light control for the best sleeping environment. Honeycomb shades also work well in a home office since they effectively block glare on computer screens.

Since the blinds are easy to manipulate, they are ideal for living rooms when you want to change the amount of light and privacy you have during different times of the day and night. The shades can be used on windows and doors for a cohesive look.

4. Honeycomb Shades Are Versatile

Options are available for how honeycomb shades operate. They can be raised from the bottom like traditional shades or lowered from the top. Shades that lower from the top provide privacy by covering the lower part of the window and letting in natural light by having the top of the window uncovered.

Honeycomb blinds are available in cordless options for the safety of your pets and kids, and some can be operated with a battery or by hardwiring them. You can also operate them manually with a cord and adjust individual shades to your liking to control glare, solar heating, and natural lighting in every room of your home.

5. The Shades Are Easy to Maintain

Honeycomb shades should be dusted or vacuumed regularly to keep dust from building up on them, and they can be spot-cleaned when necessary. The shades are easy to maintain on a regular home cleaning schedule, but it's important to follow the cleaning recommendations from the manufacturer. For instance, you may need to limit the use of water when cleaning the shades.

With regular maintenance, honeycomb shades maintain a fresh, attractive appearance. Honeycomb shades can often be repaired by a professional if they need to be restrung or have brackets replaced, so the shades can last a long time.
