Here's why motorized cellular shades are worth considering—and how to get started with a free expert consultation.

What Are Motorized Cellular Blinds?

Also known as honeycomb shades, cellular shades feature a layered, pleated structure that traps air—acting as a thermal barrier between your windows and your living space. When paired with motorization, these shades can be controlled by:

Remote control
Smartphone app
Voice assistant (Alexa, Google, Siri)
Scheduled automations or sensors

When connected with the Internet, home sensors and/or activation devices, motorized cellular shades are an important part of the ever-growing Internet of Things ("IoT").

The result? Total control of your light, privacy, and energy usage—all without lifting a finger.

1. Energy Efficiency That Saves Money

Motorized cellular shades are among the most energy-efficient window treatments available. Their honeycomb structure insulates your windows, helping maintain indoor temperature in both hot and cold climates.

Keep heat out in the summer
Trap warmth in during winter
Reduce your HVAC usage and utility bills

📈 Fun fact: Homeowners can save up to 20-30% on heating and cooling costs with properly installed cellular shades.

2. Smart Convenience You’ll Actually Use

With motorized cellular shades, there’s no more tugging on cords or adjusting each window manually.

Control them from:

Your phone while relaxing on the couch
A voice command as you walk into the room
Scheduled timers that follow the sun’s path

Want your bedroom shades to rise automatically at 7 a.m. and lower at sunset? We’ll set that up for you during installation.

3. Stylish Privacy and Light Control

Cellular shades offer excellent privacy without sacrificing natural light. Choose from:

Light-filtering fabrics that brighten rooms while keeping prying eyes out
Blackout options for bedrooms, nurseries, or media rooms

We offer a wide variety of colors, opacities, and pleat sizes to complement your space perfectly.

4. Child-Safe and Cord-Free

With zero dangling cords, motorized cellular shades are ideal for homes with kids or pets.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has identified window coverings with cords as one of the top five hidden hazards in the home.

To prevent tragic child strangulations, CPSC recommends the use of cordless window coverings in all homes where children live or visit.

The motorized cellular window blinds we install are compliant with the latest safety standards—and look a whole lot cleaner than normal cellular window shades, too.
