Hunter Douglas Applause Honeycomb Shades stand out as a premier choice that masterfully achieves this balance. Built upon the innovative cellular shade design, Applause shades offer exceptional energy efficiency, curated style, and lasting quality, making them a smart and popular investment for any home.
This guide explores the unique features that make these shades a standout choice for savvy homeowners.
The Science of Savings: How Honeycomb Shades Work
The genius behind all honeycomb shades, also known as cellular shades, lies in their unique construction. Inspired by the perfect geometry of a bee’s honeycomb, these shades are engineered with distinct air pockets. This cellular structure traps air at the window, creating a powerful layer of insulation that traditional flat shades cannot replicate.
This insulation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable home environment year-round. In the winter, it prevents warm air from escaping through the glass. In the summer, it blocks solar heat from entering your home. The direct result is a more stable indoor temperature, which reduces the strain on your heating and cooling systems. By choosing Hunter Douglas Applause Honeycomb Shades, you are investing in a product that actively contributes to lowering your monthly energy bills while enhancing your everyday comfort.
Key Features of Applause Cellular Shades
While all honeycomb shades are energy-efficient, the Applause line from Hunter Douglas is distinguished by several key features that offer enhanced performance and style.
High-Performance Double Cell Construction
For those seeking to maximize energy savings, Applause shades are available in a double-cell construction. This design features two layers of honeycomb cells, creating additional air pockets for an even greater level of insulation. This makes them an ideal choice for rooms that face intense sun or for homes in climates with extreme hot or cold seasons.
Curated, High-Quality Fabrics
Style is never compromised for function. The Applause collection features a thoughtfully curated selection of high-performance fabrics in a range of popular and timeless colors. These beautiful textiles are designed for durability and colorfastness, ensuring your shades will look as good as they perform for years to come. The streamlined collection makes it simple to find a perfect match for your existing decor.
Seamless and Safe by Design
Prioritizing a clean aesthetic and family safety, Applause shades are available with the intuitive LiteRise® operating system. This cordless design allows you to simply push the shade up or pull it down with your hand, and it stays exactly where you place it. The absence of cords creates a clean, uncluttered look at the window and provides a safer environment for homes with children and pets.
