I’m Michael Wigle with Bumble Bee Blinds of Boerne, where we help Texas Hill Country homeowners find the perfect balance between comfort, efficiency, and style. One of the most popular and effective solutions we recommend is the cellular shade—also called the honeycomb shade.
Cellular shades are more than just attractive window coverings. They’re an energy-efficient window treatment that can make a real difference in your home’s temperature control and energy bills, especially in the unique climate of Boerne, TX.
Why Cellular Shades Are Ideal for Boerne Homes?
The Texas Hill Country is known for its hot, sunny summers and surprisingly chilly winters. Cellular shades are designed with a honeycomb-shaped structure that traps air in small pockets, creating a layer of insulation right at your windows.
In summer, they help keep cool, conditioned air inside while blocking intense solar heat. In winter, they hold warmth in and keep cold drafts out. Year-round, they reduce glare and block harmful UV rays that can fade flooring, furniture, and artwork.
The result is a more comfortable home and potentially lower energy bills—without sacrificing natural light or style.
Beautiful Design Meets Practical Benefits
While many people choose cellular shades for their energy savings, they’re also a versatile design choice. At Bumble Bee Blinds of Boerne, we offer a wide range of:
Colors & Textures – From neutral tones to bold statements.
Fabric Opacities – Light-filtering for a bright, airy feel or blackout for total privacy.
Custom Fit Options – Perfect for oversized windows, arches, skylights, and sliding glass doors.
For added convenience, motorized cellular shades allow you to adjust your coverings with a remote control, smartphone, or even voice commands—perfect for high or hard-to-reach windows.
