Signature Blackout Double Cellular Shades

Our Signature Blackout Double Cellular Shades are built for the rooms where comfort matters as much as darkness. Two rows of 1/2" honeycomb cells sit back to back, with a metalized film sealed between soft spunlace layers, so the shade blocks light while it holds back summer heat and winter drafts. That double layer of trapped air also softens outside noise, which makes this the shade we suggest for street-facing bedrooms, drafty older windows and anyone who wants a dark room that is noticeably quieter too. Shown custom-fit, with a color-matched headrail and bottom rail. Why You Will Love These Shades True Blackout Fabric: Three layers: a metalized polyester film sealed between two layers of soft 100% polyester spunlace. Blocks incoming light for genuine darkness, day or night. 1/2" Double Cell Construction: Two rows of 1/2" cells stacked back to back put two air pockets between the glass and the room, with the fabric sealed around a metallic film for a thick, quiet barrier. Comfortable Year Round: Two layers of air pockets and a sealed film make a thick barrier against summer sun and winter drafts, and take the edge off outside noise. A real help with heating and cooling bills. Three Ways to Lift: Cordless lift is standard. Upgrade to top-down/bottom-up, or choose a continuous cord loop on the left or right for large, heavy shades. Up to 144" Wide: Single shades are made up to 120" wide. Wider windows are built as two shades on one headrail so the opening reads as one treatment. Clean, Coordinated Hardware: An aluminum headrail and bottom rail color-matched to the fabric, hidden snap-in brackets and a dust cover that keeps debris off the cells. Ten Designer Colors: Crisp White Radish and soft Llama, warm French Pastry and Gingerroot, rich Taupe Notch, cool Elegant Dove and Raindance greys, airy Atlantic Frost, deep Canadian Tuxedo navy and dramatic Gala Night. Safer for Kids and Pets: The standard cordless lift has no exposed cords. Hold-down brackets for doors are included free on request. Rooms That Benefit Most From Double Cell Blackout Street-facing bedrooms: Darkness plus a noticeable drop in traffic noise. Older or single-pane windows: Two insulating air pockets make the biggest difference where the glass does the least. West and south exposures: Cut the afternoon heat load before it reaches the room. Home theaters: Total darkness and a calmer, quieter room for movie night. Guest rooms: A hotel-dark room that also stays comfortable year round. Choose the Right Lift for Each Window Cordless (standard): Raise or lower the shade with a gentle push or pull on the bottom rail. Available from 9" to 144" wide and up to 86" high. Top-down/bottom-up: Two moving rails let you lower the shade from the top for daylight and privacy at the same time. Available from 15" to 96" wide and up to 86" high. Continuous cord loop: A clutch-driven loop on the left or right handles tall, heavy shades with ease. Available from 18 1/2" to 144" wide and up to 144" high, up to 9,000 square inches of fabric. Sky pole: For cordless or top-down/bottom-up shades out of reach, add a 6 ft or 9 ft sky pole. Shades over 24" wide work best with two poles. A Realistic Word About Light Gaps Blackout fabric blocks light, but any shade mounted inside a frame leaves a small margin at the edges where light can slip through. For the darkest room, choose an outside mount with a few inches of overlap on each side and at the top. It costs nothing extra and makes a real difference in a bedroom or media room. Cooler Summers, Warmer Winters Windows are where most of a room's heat comes in on a summer afternoon and slips out on a winter night. Two layers of air pockets and a sealed film make a thick barrier against summer sun and winter drafts, and take the edge off outside noise. Close the shades on hot afternoons and cold evenings and you will feel the difference.
