Cellular shades and honeycomb shades are the same product. Both names describe a shade made of pleated fabric folded into rows of air pockets, or cells, that look like a honeycomb when you view the shade from the side. The construction, performance, and options are identical whichever name is on the label.<\/p>\n<h2>Are cellular shades the same as honeycomb shades?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, completely. The two names describe one construction from two angles:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Cellular&#8221; describes how the shade works. The fabric forms cells that trap air between the room and the glass.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Honeycomb&#8221; describes how the shade looks. Seen from the side, those cells form a hexagonal, beehive-like pattern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Energy uses both ideas in a single sentence. Its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-12\/bto-cellular-shades-factsheet-112221.pdf\">fact sheet on interior cellular shades<\/a> describes cellular shades as pleated fabric folded to create cells in a honeycomb design.<\/p>\n<h2>Where do the two names come from?<\/h2>\n<p>Both terms have been in technical use since the product first appeared. A 1986 patent filing titled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/NZ218200A\/en\">Expandable honeycomb structure for use as collapsible blinds<\/a>&#8221; is classified under making articles of cellular structure with hexagonal cells for window coverings. In other words, the patent system files &#8220;honeycomb&#8221; and &#8220;cellular&#8221; under the same category.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today the naming comes down to habit, not hardware:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Spec sheets and energy research tend to say cellular.<\/li>\n<li>Many shoppers and retail listings say honeycomb.<\/li>\n<li>Plenty of brands, including us, use both.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Searching only one term can hide options, which is why our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blindsgalore.com\/cellular-honeycomb\">cellular and honeycomb shades<\/a> live together in a single collection.<\/p>\n<h2>If the name doesn&#8217;t matter, what does?<\/h2>\n<p>Four choices change how a cellular shade performs.
