All About Cellular Shades
Posted by on
Cellular shades are a popular window treatment, and are available in many different variations. Here's an overview of what Window Blind Outlet offers.
Before we begin, a note regarding cell size. Our shades feature cells that measure 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4". These measurements are from the center of the cell to the outside point. So for example, a 1/2" cell will actually measure 1" from edge to edge.
Now let's get started!
Aura Cordless Cellular Shade in Daylight
Our Aura Cordless Cellular Shade is our standard honeycomb cellular shade. Featuring a 1/2" cell size, these shades come in 9 different color options. The color you select is used to create both sides of the shade, so you will have the same color on the interior and exterior of your home when you purchase this shade. The Aura Cordless Cellular Shade is a light filtering shade, so you will still get a healthy glow of light into your home when the shades are drawn. However, they provide substantial privacy, so no one will be able to look through them and see what is going on inside.
Aura Cordless Double Cellular Shades
Aura Cordless Double Cellular Shades in Storm
The Aura Cordless Double Cellular Shade provides double the installation and sound absorption of our single cell shades. Two sets of 3/8" shades are layered to create a double pocket of protection. These shades come in 9 attractive colors. The color you select will face the interior of your home, while the back side is white for all shades, to present a uniform look to the exterior of your home. This is beneficial for some neighborhoods with HOAs that require white shades facing the street. These shades are light filtering, so even with the double layer of cells you will still get plenty of light into your home. Please note that the shades are not available in blackout or top down bottom up variations.
Aura Top Down Bottom Up Cordless Cellular Shades

And top down functionality gives you total control over your view while maintaining privacy. Available in the same nine color choices as the Aura Cordless Cellular Shade, and featuring the same color on the front and back of the shade, these light filtering shades have a 1/2" cellular construction and are a great way to get great natural light into your home while still keeping total privacy.

The Mirage Cordless Cellular Shade is another popular light filtering shade. Featuring a 3/4" cellular construction, these shades have a slightly larger cell than the Aura Cordless Cellular shade. These shades have 8 color choices available, so something will always match your home. And the shade is manufactured with a white back, so you can keep the uniform look all along the exterior of your home, an option not available with the Aura Cordless Cellular shade.
Mirage Cordless Top Down Bottom Up Blackout Shades
Mirage Cordless Top Down Bottom Up Blackout Shades in White
Take absolute control of natural light coming in to your home with this great product. We took the top down bottom up feature from our Aura Top Down Bottom Up Cordless Cellular Shades, and combined it with our popular blackout Mirage Cordless Cellular Blackout Shade, to create a shade that gives you total control. The blackout nature will provide you total darkness, and the top down bottom up feature means you can still let in plenty of light while maintaining your privacy. These shades are available in 6 colors and have the white look to the exterior, making them a very popular choice. Mirage Cordless Top Down Bottom Up Blackout Shades feature a 3/4" cell size for a nice, full look in your window.
All of our cellular shades are made from a polyester fabric material and feature color coordinated headrails and bottom rails. All shades come with a limited lifetime warranty, and free sample swatches are always available. Installation is very easy, and measuring instructions are available on our website.
As always, if you have any questions regarding any of our products, you can call or email us. We are always happy to help.
