Every Florida window is a small heater from noon to sunset. Cellular shades are the treatment engineered specifically to shut that heater off, and they look clean doing it.

The Honeycomb Advantage

Duette® Honeycomb Shades

The original and still the benchmark: Duette honeycomb shades invented the cellular category, trapping air in fabric cells that insulate the glass line. Duette comes in single, double, and triple-cell constructions, a deep fabric range from sheer to true blackout, and configurations like top-down/bottom-up that let light in over a band of privacy. For bedrooms, street-facing rooms, and any window where comfort and quiet matter, Duette is the default we measure against everything else.

Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades

Sonnette cellular roller shades answer a fair question: what if a honeycomb behaved like a roller? The curved cell rolls smoothly like a roller shade while still insulating, giving you a softer, dimensional face with the minimal operation people love in rollers. Hunter Douglas Sonnette shades suit living spaces that want the energy benefit without the crisp pleat lines of a traditional honeycomb, and like the rest of the family they motorize cleanly with PowerView.

Applause® Honeycomb Shades

Hunter Douglas Applause honeycomb shades deliver the core cellular benefits, insulation, light control, and a tailored face, in a streamlined range that covers most windows in most homes. It's the line we often spec for whole-house projects and secondary rooms, keeping the look and the energy story consistent from the great room to the guest bath. Across all three lines, blackout cellular shades fabrics turn bedrooms properly dark, and every shade is built to your measured opening.

The practical payoff shows up in the rooms you stopped using. The west-facing office that bakes from two o'clock on, the bedroom over the garage, the breakfast nook that's blinding by eight: honeycombs at the glass change the afternoon math, and a PowerView schedule makes the whole routine automatic, shades dropping ahead of the heat and rising when it passes. Top-down/bottom-up configurations add a trick no other category does as well, light over a band of privacy, which is why cellulars own so many street-facing bedrooms. Come feel the showroom display: hand on the glass, hand behind the shade. The difference is the sales pitch.

FAQs

Your Questions, Answered

Are cellular shades the same as honeycomb shades?

Yes, two names for one design. Viewed from the side, the fabric forms hexagonal cells, honeycombs, that trap air. “Cellular” describes the engineering, “honeycomb” the shape; product lines like Duette and Applause use both terms interchangeably.

How do cellular shades keep heat out?

The trapped air in each cell is the insulator. It slows heat transfer at the glass in both directions, so summer radiance stays outside and conditioned air stays in. Double and triple-cell builds add layers of air for tougher exposures, which is why west-facing Florida rooms feel the difference the first afternoon.

What's the difference between Hunter Douglas Sonnette and Duette?

Operation and face. Duette is the classic pleated honeycomb that raises and lowers in crisp folds, with the deepest range of cells and configurations. Sonnette is a curved cellular fabric that rolls like a roller shade, a softer, simpler look with the insulation kept. Same physics, different personality.

What are the drawbacks of cellular shades?

Honest list: the fabric face is soft, so it doesn't tilt like a blind; views disappear when the shade is down unless you choose sheer fabrics or top-down configurations; and cells can collect dust if never brushed. None of those are dealbreakers; they're just why we match the shade to the room first.

Can cellular shades be motorized?

Yes, across all three lines. PowerView automation raises, lowers, and schedules them from an app, remote, or voice assistant, and a morning-rise schedule on bedroom blackout cellulars is one of the most-loved configurations we install.
