How Insulating Cellular Shades Help You Sleep Better
If you’re looking for a good night’s sleep but can’t find it, the answer might lie in upgrading your home environment. For many, creating the ideal sleeping conditions conducive to restful slumber is key to helping them fall and stay asleep. In the bedroom, few features have a greater effect on its environmental conditions than your window shades, and few shades are as adept at environmental control as cellular shades.
To understand why cellular shades excel at making sleep better, we have to look at their distinctive construction. Unlike other window shades, cellular shades have a unique inner design reminiscent of a honeycomb with a layer of cells that create interior channels. These interior spaces fill with air, and it is that layer of air that creates the treatment’s revolutionary insulating abilities. And it’s this insulation that makes cellular shades a powerful tool when building a restful oasis in your home.
At The Drapery Shop, we carry the Hunter Douglas collection of window treatments where there are two types of cellular shades that have an internal honeycomb construction: Duette® Cellular Shades and Sonnette® Roller Shades. Both offer advanced insulation thanks to their cellular design, but each has their own aesthetic style and suite of available upgrades and accessories.
Duette® Cellular Shades and Sonnette® Roller Shades
Duette® Cellular Shades
Duette® Cellular Shades are known for their energy-efficiency. Designed with a honeycomb structure, they have distinctive air pockets that provide insulation, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Additionally, they come in a wide variety of over 150 fabrics in colors and textures to seamlessly blend with any decor. Light control options range from sheer to opaque, allowing the user to adjust natural light to suit their needs. Choose from manual and automated options with dual liners and light-blocking features for extra control.
Sonnette® Roller Shades
Sonnette® Roller Shades are a modern take on classic roller shades. They feature curved, contoured fabrics that softly diffuse light, creating an ambient feeling. Sonnette® Roller Shades are available in fabric collections with over 50 colors, ranging from neutrals to vibrant hues. They are not only aesthetic but also energy-efficient, with their curved shape providing a layer of insulation. Liner options allow for further control over light levels and privacy, and the design fits neatly into the window's recess for a sleek, clean appearance. Both manual and motorized operating systems are available for greater convenience.
3 Keys to A Better Night’s Sleep
- Keep it Cool: Most people sleep best when their sleeping environment is kept between 60- and 68-degrees Fahrenheit. So, for bedroom shades, look for a treatment that can keep external environmental factors out to better maintain a comfortable interior atmosphere. Cellular shades outshine nearly every other style of residential window treatment when it comes to their insulating capabilities, which translates into more control over the temperature in a room for homeowners.
- Keep it Dark: The second factor that new bedroom shades can help with when it comes to creating the ideal sleeping conditions is darkness. For most, we sleep best in the dark, so we need bedroom shades with light blocking abilities. Duette® Cellular Shades are available with an upgraded operating system called LightLock® that creates blackout darkness. The LightLock® blackout system works by blocking light leaks around the edges of a cellular shade using U-shaped sidetracks. By eliminating light leaks from the side and bottom of the shade, the resulting treatment can block nearly all light trying to enter for darkened interiors ideal for sleep.
- Keep it Quiet: The final element to control when making a sleep oasis is sound, as obviously we want a nice, quiet environment for rest. The interior air pockets that make cellular shades so good at controlling temperature are also excellent for sound reduction. They can deflect, absorb, or muffle noise from the outside world for quieter rooms while also helping improve interior acoustics by decreasing internal reverberations for an overall more tranquil bedroom sleeping environment.
