Its natural to want window treatments for the replacement windows on your Kirkland, WA home with energy efficiency, safety, and affordability. If you’ve been having a hard time finding shades that tick all those boxes, you might want to consider cordless cellular shades.
Cellular shades are built with cells that help trap air and create a barrier between the window and the room, helping you achieve this ideal temperature level all year round. You can find cellular shades made with a single cellular layer, or a double shade, which has two layers of cells for even more insulation.
Cordless cellular shades operate differently based on what kind of cordless function they have. There are a few different options, each with a different function:
- Cordless Lift: Lift your shade with the press of a button. Release the button to lock it into place.
- Motorized: Pick your desired height using a remote control or even an app on your phone.
- Standard Cordless Top Down Bottom Up Lift: Just lift or lower the plastic lips on the top rail or bottom rail of the shade.
- Standard Cordless Lift: Just lift the plastic lip on the bottom rail of the shade to the desired height.
- Cordless Top Down Bottom Up Lift: Lift or Lower the bottom or top of your shade with the simple press of a button
They offer many benefits, such as superior insulation. When it’s hot outside, you want your house to be cool, but when it’s cold outside, you want your house to be warm, and that’s where the shade’s cells come in. Cordless cellular shades are also safe. Shade cords can be very dangerous for both children and pets, as the cords can get wrapped around necks, arms, legs and paws, potentially leading to choking or loss of circulation. Cordless cellular shades eliminate this danger because they don’t have external cords. Cordless shades still have cords, but they’re built to be on the inside of the shade, making them inaccessible for little fingers or paws.
Cordless cellular shades come in lots of different types, each with specific benefits. For example, top down bottom up shades allow you to have the window partially uncovered to let in light but still have privacy. Blackout shades offer complete darkness for sleeping or watching a movie, and light filtering let some light in but stops people outside from being able to see in.
Finally, cordless cellular shades have great style options. Various shades have various cell sizes, and also different colors from white and cream to grey, black, green, blue and more. There is a cordless cellular shade option for every home.
