Cellular shades — honeycomb shades — are the energy savers of the window world. Their pleated fabric forms honeycomb cells that trap air at the glass, and that pocket of still air is real insulation: it slows summer heat pushing in and winter warmth leaking out. In a city where air conditioning runs most of the year, the window is where comfort is won or lost.

Sun Devil's cellular shades are custom-made to your openings, including tall windows and sliding patio doors where a vertical cellular application keeps the doorway usable. Light-filtering cells keep living spaces bright and private; blackout cells serve bedrooms. Every shade carries the Limited Lifetime Warranty and free professional installation by Sun Devil's own team.

Why Phoenix Homeowners Choose Cellular Shades

Real insulation

Honeycomb cells trap air at the glass, cutting the heat transfer plain fabrics and blinds allow.

Cooler rooms, lower bills

Less heat through the glass means your AC works less on sun-facing rooms.

Soft, tailored look

Crisp pleats read like tailored fabric — softer than shutters, cleaner than drapes.

Light-filtering or blackout

Choose the cell fabric per room: glow without glare by day, darkness for sleep.

Great for patio doors

Side-stacking cellular applications cover sliding doors without swinging panels or dangling cords.

Limited lifetime warranty

Covered for discoloration, operation, and installation defects.

Options & Choices

Light-filtering cells

Diffuse daylight and protect furniture from UV while keeping rooms bright.

Blackout cells

Foil-lined style cells for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms that need darkness.

Top-down/bottom-up

Lower the top for light while the bottom stays private — a favorite for street-facing rooms and bathrooms.

Cordless and motorized

Cordless lifts for safety, or full motorization with a 10-year motor and battery warranty.

Care & Keeping

Vacuum with a brush attachment on low, following the pleats, or dust with a feather duster. Spot-clean with a damp sponge and mild soap, blotting gently so cells keep their shape. Compressed air clears dust from inside the cells. Never crush or soak the fabric.

Jay was really knowledgeable about all things windows and not just shutters. I now have two options that are going to work and will protect the eight windows I have on that side of the house.

Cellular Shades FAQs

Straight answers, based on how Sun Devil actually works — warranty terms, timelines, and pricing process included.

How much do cellular shades cost?

Every project is custom-measured, so pricing depends on window count, sizes, material, and options. The honest way to price cellular shades is the free in-home consultation: you receive an exact, room-by-room written quote with factory-direct pricing and no obligation. Financing is available through Hearth if you prefer monthly payments.

Do cellular shades really help with Phoenix cooling costs?

Yes — the honeycomb cell is an air pocket, and air pockets insulate. A cellular shade slows the radiant heat that pours through sun-facing glass, so rooms hold their set temperature with less AC runtime. The effect is strongest on west and south windows and with blackout or double-cell style fabrics; your consultant will point the budget where it counts.

Cellular shade or plantation shutter for insulation?

Both insulate well. A fitted shutter is a solid barrier and adds the most structure and warranty coverage (unlimited lifetime), while a cellular shade delivers most of the insulating benefit at a lower price with a softer look. Many homeowners shutter the front of the house and use cellular shades in secondary rooms.

Can cellular shades cover a sliding patio door?

Yes. Cellular fabric is available in a side-to-side gliding application made for patio doors and very wide windows, so the treatment stacks neatly to one side and the doorway stays fully usable. Sun Devil's own cellular gallery includes a patio-door installation.

What does top-down/bottom-up mean?

The shade can lower from the top as well as rise from the bottom. Drop the top section to admit daylight above eye level while the lower section keeps the room private — ideal for bathrooms and street-facing bedrooms. It is available on many cellular fabrics and can be priced into your free quote.

What warranty covers cellular shades?

Cellular shades carry Sun Devil's Limited Lifetime Warranty covering discoloration, standard product operation including cordless mechanisms, and installation-related defects. Motorized versions add Sun Devil's 10-year warranty on the motor and lithium battery.

Is the in-home consultation really free?

Yes. Sun Devil Shutters comes to your home, measures every window, brings real samples, talks through design and color options, and leaves you an exact, itemized quote — completely free and with no obligation. Most visits take under an hour, and you keep the written details whether you order or not.

Who installs my order — do you use subcontractors?

No subcontractors. Professional installation is free with your order and is handled by Sun Devil's own in-house installers, the same local team that supports the product after the job. Because the factory, showroom, and installers are all in Phoenix, adjustments and warranty service stay simple.

How long will my order take?

Most orders are built and installed within 4–6 weeks of ordering. Shutters and barn doors are made in the Phoenix factory, so the team controls the schedule instead of waiting on overseas shipping. Your consultant will confirm the expected timeline in writing with your quote.

Are cellular shades safe for kids' rooms?

With cordless lift, yes — there are no dangling cords. Cordless is the configuration Sun Devil recommends for nurseries and children's bedrooms, and blackout cellular fabric in a cordless lift is one of the most-requested nursery combinations the team installs.

How do I clean inside the honeycomb cells?

Most dust sits on the surface and vacuums off with a brush attachment. For dust inside the cells, a can of compressed air blown through the cell openings, or a hair dryer on its cool, low setting, clears them without crushing the pleats.

Will cellular shades work on very tall windows?

Yes — cellular fabric is light for its coverage, which makes it practical for tall and wide glass that would strain other treatments. Your consultant measures and confirms the lift system for the size, and motorization is often the smart upgrade for shades mounted out of easy reach.
