The most energy-efficient shade we install, honeycomb cells trap air at the window to keep Aurora homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Honeycomb shades, also called cellular shades, are named for the row of honeycomb-shaped pockets that run across the fabric when you look at it from the side. Those pockets trap a layer of air right at the glass, creating an insulating buffer between the cold (or hot) window and your room. In the Chicago suburbs, where winters are long and summers are humid, that insulation translates directly into lower heating and cooling bills.
Creative Blinds & Drapes custom-builds every honeycomb shade to your exact window, so the cells seal cleanly against the frame and do their job.
The number of cell layers controls how much insulation you get:
You can pair either with light-filtering, room-darkening, or blackout fabric depending on the room.
We start with a free in-home consultation, bringing cell and fabric samples so you can compare single vs. double cell in your own windows. We then measure precisely for an airtight fit and professionally install each shade, confirming smooth operation before we leave.
