Why Cellular Shades Are Naturally Energy Efficient
Cellular shades—also known as honeycomb shades—are engineered with a series of pockets that trap air. This creates a thermal barrier between your window glass and the inside of your home, improving insulation in both hot and cold seasons.
Our cellular shades help:
• Reduce heat transfer during Austin’s long, intense summers
• Keep warm air inside during cooler months
• Lower HVAC strain by stabilizing room temperature
When paired with the TDBU functionality, they become even more energy efficient because you can position the shade to block the hottest portion of the window while still letting in natural light.
How TDBU Function Adds to Energy Savings
Traditional shades either open from the bottom or close fully. TDBU shades let you block exactly the portion of the window where the sun hits hardest—usually the middle and lower section—while keeping the top open for daylight.
This means:
• Heat stays out during peak afternoon hours
• Rooms stay brighter without relying on artificial lighting
• You avoid the “closed-off” feeling of full coverage
The result? A noticeable reduction in solar heat gain without sacrificing visibility or brightness.
Real Utility Cost Reductions for Austin Homes
Because cellular TDBU shades insulate the glass and allow strategic shade placement, homeowners often see real improvements in comfort and measurable reductions in cooling costs.
Cellular TDBU shades are especially helpful in:
• West-facing rooms that bake in the afternoon
• Two-story spaces with high heat exposure
• Bedrooms that get morning sun but need privacy
• Home offices where consistent temperature improves productivity
If you’ve noticed certain rooms in your home are consistently warmer or cooler than others, cellular TDBU shades may be the simplest, most effective fix.
Why Austin homeowners love this: In neighborhoods like 78737, 78748, and 78704, cellular TDBU shades help combat high solar exposure while keeping homes bright. Many homeowners report more stable temperatures and fewer AC cycles—meaning better comfort and lower utility bills.
