Top Hunter Douglas Pleated Shades for Windows
Pleated shades provide a chic, modern look that improves your home’s energy efficiency. At Alexander Blank Fabrics & Design, we carry Hunter Douglas products, including the top pleated shades for your windows.

Hunter Douglas calls this unique shade style “cellular shades” or “honeycomb shades” because they feature honeycomb-shaped cells hidden between their fashionable fabric layers. Our team at Alexander Blank Fabrics & Designs is here to explain how these pleated honeycomb shades can benefit your home. Read on as we discuss the differences between our styles of cellular shades, so you can choose the best option for your family.
Benefits of Pleated Shades
Hunter Douglas cellular shades are renowned for their excellent quality, innovation, and style; in fact, they are credited as being the first cellular shade on the market.
These shades use layers of fabric to create elegant, contemporary fabric pleats that improve energy efficiency. As your open shade lies against your window, the layers of fabric fill with air. This provides a layer of insulation that helps with temperature regulation by preventing outside air from moving through the window and into your home. The insulation also creates a sound barrier, making your home quieter.
You can combine them with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation to boost energy savings and efficiency.
Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades
Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades are the signature style of cellular shades. You can also choose Duette® Architella® Cellular Shades, the most energy-efficient pleated shade that we carry, which has a dual layer design that creates a honeycomb within the honeycomb for even more energy savings. These pleated shades:
- Are available in over 150 combinations of colors and fabrics

- Come in three different pleat sizes: 3/8”, ¾”, or 1 1/4” inches so you can select the best size for your window

- Have a LightLock® system option that creates blackout conditions by fitting in a U-shape design around the window to prevent light gaps

skylights.
