Vertical Cellular Shades

For wide windows and patio doors that need insulation from heat or cold, a cellular shade is the best option.  The shade can be opened from either side and collapses to just a few inches, making hardly noticeable when unused. The honeycomb design gives your door or window a stylish look and also provides insulation against sound.
