If you are looking for an energy efficient window covering look no further than Honeycomb Shades sometimes referred to as a Cellular Shade. Honeycomb shades are the only product in this industry that get a rated R-value. R-value in the product line range from about 4.5 to 5.5 depending on how the shade is made, double cell and blackout configurations generally get a higher R-value than single cell or light filtering, some honeycomb shades will even qualify for a tax credit due their energy savings.
As for versatility, honeycombs have it in spades. This product can be made in a lot of different ways. The honeycomb cell can be made as a double cell, a single cell small(1/2 inch), single cell large (3/4 inch) and single cell extra-large( 1 ¼ inch). This product can be controlled with cordless lift, continues cord loop, or motorized with an internal, rechargeable battery. In addition to all these options, honeycombs can also be made with bottom-up control, bottom up/top-down control and sun up sun down (this is a blackout and light filtering on the same headrail.)
