When the temperature drops, the right window shades make a difference in your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. In fact, the best window shades for winter do more than just add style— they provide insulation, allow for light control, and give you the privacy you need.
Our variety of cellular shades available offer a range of options that are perfect for keeping your home cozy during the colder months. This is because they’re built with specially configured polyester fabric that forms air pockets, or cells, that trap heat and cold. When surrounded by the right material, air pockets are a tremendous insulator.Â
Below, we dive into the styles of cellular shade we offer, as well as their pros and cons.

2. EcoSmart 2.0 Continuous Cord Loop Cellular Shades
For larger windows or heavy-duty use, Continuous Cord Loop Cellular Shades provide smooth and durable operation.

5. EcoSmart 2.0 Top Down/Bottom Up Motorized Cellular Shades

Winter brings its challenges, but with the right window treatments, you can stay warm and comfortable– while also saving on energy costs. In fact, when you add an EcoSmart cellular shade to a single-pane window it provides more insulation than upgrading the window to double-pane. Depending on which type of EcoSmart cellular fabric you choose, it could add much more r-value than upgrading and would cost a whole lot less!
