Window shades aren’t just great for privacy; they also have plenty of surface area to display attractive designs that will liven up any room in any home. Two particular styles that are quite popular in Kirkland and the greater Seattle, Washington area are cellular and pleated shades—both of which are offered and installed by the experts at Cascade View Construction. These two shade styles are similar in many ways, from the materials used to craft them to the light control and blackout features they can come with, but you should know the differences before you buy any to beautify your home’s windows or patio doors.
If you look at cellular shades head-on, you may not notice the main difference between them and pleated shades. But when you see them from the side, you’ll know right away. Cellular shades get their name from the hollow “cells” that run all the way through the fabric. It’s also why these shades are sometimes called “honeycomb shades.” Cascade View Construction offers Graber cellular shades in single-or double-cell sizes with various light control and privacy liners, control systems, styles, and fabric options to make something unique to your home.
Pleated shades consist of a single sheet of fabric (sometimes backed by a liner) that is marked by a series of crisp pleats running all the way down. Graber pleated shades from Cascade View Construction can be customized in many of the same ways as our cellular shades, and they also feature EvenPleat® construction that keeps your shades from sagging after many years of consistent use.
