Signature Blackout Single Cellular Shades

Our Signature Blackout Single Cellular Shades pair a generous 3/4" honeycomb with a metallic blackout liner, so the room goes dark the moment the shade comes down. It is the shade we recommend for bedrooms that face the morning sun, nurseries that nap through the afternoon and media rooms that need a true picture. Because the cell is larger than a typical cellular shade, each pleat reads crisp and deliberate across wide windows, and the shade stacks surprisingly small for its size. Choose cordless, top-down/bottom-up or continuous-loop lift, then pick from ten designer colors. Shown custom-fit, with a color-matched headrail and bottom rail. Why You Will Love These Shades True Blackout Fabric: 100% polyester spunlace with a metallic blackout liner. Blocks incoming light for genuine darkness, day or night. 3/4" Single Cell Construction: The generous 3/4" pleat gives a bold, tailored face that suits large windows and tall rooms, with fewer, deeper pleats than a smaller cell. Comfortable Year Round: The honeycomb traps air at the glass and the metallic liner turns back the sun, so the room stays cooler in summer and holds its warmth in winter. 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. Where a 3/4" Blackout Shade Earns Its Keep Primary bedrooms: Block sunrise, streetlights and passing headlights for unbroken sleep. Nurseries and kids' rooms: Keep naps and early bedtimes on schedule through long summer evenings. Media rooms: Remove screen glare and keep blacks looking black on a bright afternoon. Shift workers' bedrooms: Create a genuinely dark room at noon. Large picture windows: The 3/4" pleat keeps its tailored look across wide spans, up to 144" with a two-on-one headrail. 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 20,800 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. The honeycomb traps air at the glass and the metallic liner turns back the sun, so the room stays cooler in summer and holds its warmth in winter. Close the shades on hot afternoons and cold evenings and you will feel the difference.
