Hunter Douglas Applause® Cellular Shades
What are cellular shades?
Cellular window shades are favored by homeowners who want insulation, light control, and a clean architectural profile without visual heaviness. Cellular shades are engineered with a honeycomb-shaped fabric structure. Each cell traps air, creating a layer of insulation between the window and the room.

Frequently asked questions about cellular shades
What pleat sizes are available for Duette® Cellular Shades?
We offer 3/8" pleats, which are ideal for small windows. We also offer 3/4” and 1 ¼” pleat sizes for medium to larger windows and taller openings. The pleat size affects both the visual scale and insulation performance; if you’re considering cellular shades, talk with us about pleat size during your in-home design consultation.
What are the best fabrics for cellular shades?
We recommend choosing cellular shade fabrics that match the level of light control you’re looking for. For instance, sheer and semi-sheer fabrics help reduce glare and soften natural light, while maintaining outward visibility. Light-filtering fabrics provide both privacy and natural light. Room-darkening fabrics are ideal for bedrooms and media rooms where you want to block significant light.
Can cellular shades accommodate specialty-shaped windows?
Yes! Hunter Douglas window treatments, including cellular shades, are custom-made for your unique window shape, including arches, angled windows, skylights, bay windows, etc.
