Custom Cellular Shades for Comfort and Calm
Cellular shades, also called honeycomb shades, are made from two layers of pleated fabric joined to form a row of air pockets. Seen from the side, each pleat is a small cell. That structure gives the shade a soft, tailored look and holds a layer of air at the window, which helps rooms feel more comfortable through the seasons.
Custom-made to your measurements, with consultation and installation throughout New York City. Choose a light-filtering fabric for a soft, even glow or a blackout fabric for darker rooms, and we build each shade to fit your window precisely.
What Cellular Shades Offer
- 01
Insulating structure
The honeycomb cells trap air at the window, adding a layer of insulation against heat and cold.
- 02
Soft, diffused light
Light-filtering fabrics spread daylight evenly across the room.
- 03
Darker rooms when needed
Blackout fabrics give bedrooms and nurseries more darkness.
- 04
Quieter rooms
Layered fabric helps soften sound and echo.
- 05
Compact stack
Fine pleats fold tightly at the top, keeping more of the glass clear when raised.

Care & Maintenance
- Dust with a soft brush or a vacuum on low suction, working along the pleats.
- Blow out dust or small insects from the cells with a hair dryer on the cool setting.
- Spot-clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid soaking the fabric.
- Lower the shade fully from time to time to help the pleats keep their shape.
Measuring & Installation
A close fit matters with cellular shades, because a well-measured shade reduces light gaps and makes the most of the insulating cells. Our team measures every window, advises on inside or outside mounting and installs each shade. Apollo custom-fabricates shades in Brooklyn and installs throughout New York City.
