Pleated Shades

Pleated shades are an attractive and cost effective window treatment choice. They have crisp pleats and are available in a broad array of colours, style and textures. They are an affordable and very stylish choice for your home.

Cellular Shades

Cellular Shades are a unique pleated shade fabricated into a honeycomb shape. The honeycomb shape traps air inside the shade providing an air barrier between the penetrating heat or cold coming through the window,  allowing t hese shades to provide an excellent energy rating. They are offered in single cell and double cell styles, as well as light filtering and room darkening fabrics. Light filtering shades allow muted light  into a room, while room darkening cellular shades will block light when closed. Note that there will always be light gaps along the sides and bottom of the shade. Cellular shades are available in a variety of cell sizes. We will help you make the best selections for your home based on your light control needs, room dimensions and window size.

Covers offers its own in-stock Prestige cordless shades in three colours (white, ivory, pongee – taupe) with free cut to width. Take home today.

What is the difference between Pleated and Cellular Shades?

Pleated and Cellular Shades have similar looks with crisp pleats like that of an accordion. Both these shades come with options of cord control, corded and cordless top down/bottom up, regular cordless, & motorized. They come in a wide variety of colours, fabrics & are available as light filtering or room darkening. The main difference between the two shades is their inner construction. Cellular shades have a honeycomb structure between the pleats that act as an efficient insulator. Pleated Shades will help insulate too, but not nearly as well as a Cellular Shade. Cellular Shades are offered in Single and Double Cell. Double Cell shades provide greater energy efficiency and will hold their pleated shape better than regular pleated shades.

How do I clean my cellular and pleated shades? 

For regular dusting of cellular & pleated shades, simply roll them down completely and vacuum them on both sides using the brush attachment.
