CrystalPleat Graber Blackout Cellular Shades

CrystalPleat blackout cellular shades are made from 1. point-bonded polyester fabric that is non-porous in quality – this eliminates the tendency for dust to settle within the fabric weave, allowing for easy feather dusting or soft brush-vacuuming – and easily maintained to have them retain their fresh appeal, and  2. polyester spun lace fabric which is loosely woven and allows for dust settling within the weave. Choose from a range of appealing colors to suit your style. The Cocoon fabrics come with concealed sandwiched metal liners inside the fabric. Solitude fabric also comes with metallic lining inside the fabrics.

One of the most energy efficient among window treatments, the cellular structure of these shades allows air to be trapped within their walls, creating a layer of insulation between windows and rooms. This characteristic also serves to cut down on noise levels, making them an ideal option for use in noisy residential and commercial areas. They are available in three cell sizes to accommodate varying degrees of heat and sound insulation.

When lowered, the CrystalPleat blackout cellular shades cuts down on 99% the light entering a room – use them in photo studios, children’s bedrooms, or in bedrooms for those night birds who prefer to sleep-in. They also obliterate any shadows or silhouettes from view.

They provide excellent energy efficiency -because they darken a room considerably and provide insulation at the same time, these shades are optimal for use in the summer, for cooling, cutting down on air-conditioning needs. Conversely, the same holds true when lowered at sundown, in winter, cutting down on heating needs.

You can choose from a choice of control options, from standard cord controls, cordless to motorized options, allowing for varying degree of ease in lifting and lowering the shades.  The Bottom Up/Top Down control feature allows for optimal control of light and privacy in rooms.

These shades can also be customized to accommodate specialty windows shapes as well – corner, arched, octagonal or trapezoid windows. The shades are outfitted with color coordinated components to provide for seamless blending-in. Graber also provides for a combination light filtering and blackout fabrics that allow for a light and a dark appearance at the same time (SunUp/Sun Down option). The sun up sun down option remains the favored one for large banks of windows that can be used as two shades for a single window.
