Our talented Signature Shutters & Decor team can help you learn more about the benefits of Graber® Cellular shades and alternative energy-efficient window shades, like solar shades.
What Are Graber® Cellular Shades?
At Signature Shutters and Decor, we carry Graber® Cellular Shades, also known as honeycomb shades. Designed for energy efficiency, the honeycomb-shaped cells create a barrier and trap incoming or outgoing air. As the air passes through your windows, the cells gently inflate and press against the window, adding a layer of insulation that prevents more air from passing through.
Since hot air constantly moves to where it’s cold, it leaves your home in winter and into your home during summer. Adding cellular shades to your windows and doors can reduce that transfer, resulting in incredible energy savings.
Benefits of Garber® Cellular Shades
These stunning shades are modern and sleek, with highly customizable options, such as several color or fabric combinations and different opacities, including semi-sheer and room-darkening.
Additional advantages of cellular shades include:
- Having a double-cell option for even more energy efficiency.
- Enjoying noise-block features to reduce outside sounds for a quieter home.
- Adding a second layer that operates separately for more light and privacy control.
- Operating without cords, so they’re safer for kids and pets.
- Pairing motorization with smart home devices and other innovative technology.
What Are Garber® Solar Shades?
Graber® Solar Shades also make superb energy-efficient window shades. Made from sustainable and earth-friendly materials, including plastics rescued from the ocean, solar shades reduce glare, block heat, and stop UV rays.
Talented artisans design these shades so the sunlight reflects away the window, preventing unwanted heat and harmful UV rays from entering your space.
Customizing Your Garber® Solar Shades
You can select how much light you want to filter by choosing the openness factor, which determines the percentage of light that can stream into your home. A 10% openness factor blocks 90% of light and UV rays, so you can still have some light peeking in. Conversely, a 1% openness factor blocks 99% of light and UV rays for a room-darkening experience. You can also select a 5% or 3% openness factor, depending on your preferences and needs.
The color and fabrics available vary depending upon the openness factor you select. They include designs and light and dark fabrics. With solar shades, the darker colors provide the best view-through.
Boosting Energy Efficiency with Motorization
No matter which shade you choose, you can improve your home’s energy efficiency by adding motorization. This automated operating system allows you to adjust your window coverings with a remote, an app, or with your voice using a smart home device. Motorized window treatments are an enormous benefit because of the ease and convenience. You don’t need to be home to adjust them and save your favorite settings to return to them repeatedly.
Magnify your energy efficiency by scheduling your energy-efficient window shades to open or close during the hottest part of the day, depending on whether you want your home warmer or cooler. If you have a smart thermostat, you can tie it together with your Graber® motorization so your window treatments will open or close before your HVAC system turns on. This feature allows your home to naturally warm or cool the house while reducing energy usage.
