This video walks through the core product categories we install most frequently throughout Boulder County, including roller shades, cellular shades, motorized window treatments, and outdoor shades. Below is a brief overview of each, with links to dedicated pages where you can go deeper on any product that interests you.

Roller Shades

Roller shades are the most widely installed window treatment in modern Boulder County homes. A continuous fabric panel rolls onto a headrail tube and can be specified in light filtering, solar, or blackout fabric depending on the room’s needs. They work in virtually every space, fit a wide range of window sizes, and are available in manual cordless or motorized configurations. Roller shades are also one of the most durable options for homes with pets or active households.

Cellular Shades

Cellular shades — also called honeycomb shades — are engineered for energy efficiency. The fabric forms air pockets that insulate against heat and cold, making them particularly well suited to Boulder County homes where Colorado’s temperature swings from warm summer afternoons to cold winter mornings create real heating and cooling loads. Single, double, and triple cell configurations offer increasing levels of insulation. Cellular shades are available in light filtering and blackout fabrics and in cordless or motorized operation.

Motorized Window Treatments

Motorized window treatments — also called automated blinds, smart shades, or automatic window coverings — use a built-in motor to raise and lower shades, blinds, or drapery without manual operation. Motors can be controlled by remote, wall switch, smartphone app, or voice command, and can be integrated with smart home systems including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. Motorized treatments are particularly practical for high or hard-to-reach windows, large window openings, and Boulder homes where smart home automation is already in place.

Outdoor Shades

Outdoor shades extend the functionality of covered patios, pergolas, and outdoor living spaces by blocking solar heat, UV rays, and direct sun while maintaining airflow and outward views. Solar fabric outdoor shades are the most common choice for sun and heat management; denser fabrics provide greater privacy. Motorized outdoor shades are popular in Boulder County for their convenience — particularly on larger installations where manual operation of multiple shades becomes impractical.

Additional Products

In addition to the products featured in this video, Bumble Bee Blinds of Boulder also installs custom blinds including wood and faux wood blinds, plantation shutters and custom shutters, Roman shades, custom drapery and curtains, woven wood shades, and commercial window coverings for offices, restaurants, and businesses throughout the region.
