Product Details about Cellular Shades

  • Both Graber and Norman offer high-quality cellular (honeycomb) shades designed to improve comfort, energy efficiency, and light control. Each brand uses insulating honeycomb construction to help manage heat and cold while providing a clean, versatile look suited for many rooms throughout the home.

    Graber and Norman cellular shades are available in a wide range of fabrics, colors, and light-control options, including light-filtering, room-darkening, and blackout. Both brands offer dependable performance, smooth operation, and configurations that work well for everyday residential use.

    Norman also offers a few additional installation options for homeowners who want a more built-in, finished appearance. Their SmartFit™ and SmartFit™ with shutter-style frame options integrate the shade more tightly into the window opening, helping reduce light gaps and create a cleaner visual edge around the window.

    During your in-home consultation, we’ll review both brands and any available frame or mounting options to determine the best fit based on your windows, light-control needs, and desired finish.
