Window shades are window blinds that are a solid piece of fabric that goes up and down. Three of the most common window shades are the cellular or honeycomb, the standard roller and the popular roman shades.
Cellular window shades are pleated and go up and down. They look like a beehive and are extremely energy efficient. Options include motorization, top down, bottom up and different pleat sizes. There are many colors and styles to choose from. The most popular style is the single three fourths inch pleat and the double honeycomb construction, which is two cells fused together.
The roller shade window shades go up and down on a roller. They are very affordable. Besides an unlimited fabric selection, options include decorative hem at the bottom, motorization, and cassette valance. The see through sunscreens block out all the harmful UV rays but still allow you to see out.
Roman window shades are a solid piece of fabric that goes up and down but stacks on top of each other instead of going up into a roller. The most popular fabrics include bamboo or grasses and solid cotton based fabrics. Options include motorization, hobbled and top down, bottom up.
