FAQs
Do cellular shades help save energy?
Do cellular shades help save energy?
Yes — cellular shades are one of the most energy-efficient window treatments available.
Their honeycomb-shaped cells trap air, creating an insulating barrier between your window and the room.
In summer, they help block heat from entering your home, reducing the need for air conditioning. In winter, they help retain indoor warmth.
Many homeowners notice lower energy bills and more consistent indoor temperatures after installing cellular shades.
What’s the difference between single cell and double cell?
What’s the difference between single cell and double cell?
Both single cell and double cell cellular shades are designed to improve comfort and energy efficiency — the right choice depends on your needs, budget, and climate.
Single cell shades feature one layer of honeycomb pockets. They offer reliable insulation, a clean profile, and great value, making them a popular choice for everyday use and moderate climates.
Double cell shades include two layers of air pockets, creating an extra barrier against heat and cold. This design enhances insulation, helping maintain more stable indoor temperatures — especially in rooms with strong sun exposure or more extreme weather conditions.
Many homeowners choose double cell shades for sun-facing rooms or summer heat control, while using single cell shades in other areas to stay within budget.
Are blackout cellular shades better for insulation?
Are blackout cellular shades better for insulation?
Yes — blackout cellular shades generally provide better insulation than light-filtering options.
Their denser fabric helps reduce heat transfer more effectively. In general, blackout fabrics have a thermal resistance (R-value) of around 0.7–1.2 m²·K/W, with thicker fabrics offering stronger insulation performance.
Color can also play a role: lighter shades tend to reflect more heat, while darker shades absorb more light and warmth.
For enhanced energy efficiency, pairing blackout fabric with a double-cell structure can further improve insulation — especially during hotter months.
Are cellular shades a good choice for noise reduction?
Are cellular shades a good choice for noise reduction?
Yes — cellular shades can help reduce noise levels in your home.
Their honeycomb structure traps air within the cells, which helps absorb and dampen sound. While they won’t completely block out noise, they can noticeably soften outside sounds and create a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment.
They’re a great option for anyone who values a more peaceful space — especially light sleepers or households with young children, such as nurseries.
Which rooms benefit most from honeycomb shades?
Which rooms benefit most from honeycomb shades?
Cellular shades are versatile and work well in almost any room, but they’re especially beneficial in:
- Bedrooms – for better insulation, light control, and privacy
- Living rooms – to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the day
- Home offices – to reduce glare and improve focus
- Sun-exposed rooms – to block heat and protect interiors from UV damage
They’re particularly valuable in rooms with large windows or strong sunlight exposure, where energy efficiency makes the biggest difference.

Easy install and works perfectly. Many options available for shade movement which I may use later but happy with the factory settings.
Love the blinds. Arrived well packaged. Hardware included, install was a breeze. Great manuals on remote and Alexa pairing. The remote has a surprising amount of features, prefer it over voice at this point, but I'm still tweaking. Blew my wife's mind; she wants them everywhere in the house now beyond home theatre renovation.
Beautiful. Quiet. And oohhh so dark!! So glad I went with the solar powered shade.
This blind is perfect and I love the solar powered feature. The solar panel is barely noticeable. The install was easy and it matches our other blinds. The window above our patio door is great except the problem we had was 6 month of the year right around supper time sun shines right onto the faces of half the family sitting trying to enjoy supper at the dinner table. I love the motorized feature. It’s smooth and I don’t think it makes any or hardly any sound actually. We were using cereal boxes to block the sun - dad had enough. Thanks so much for having so many options and making it easy to enter dimensions and order.
Looks great in my treatment room and really cuts down the heat.
Shipping was pretty quick. Shades were packaged really good and fit perfect. Very easy to install. Great product, will order again.
Very easy install, I had to call for a little help setting up my remote. Installed 13 blinds they all work flawlessly. my next project will be setting up smart-link.
Installation went nicely. The optional brackets with no back portion were key, since my windows are shallow. The only annoyance is that they can't be controlled with the same remote we use for day/night shades in the same room.
Great Blinds. Easy to install and the ability to use with Apple HomeKit is awesome.
Love the shades and Matter over Thread connectivity. I very much hope that the reliability issues have been ironed out (need that spousal approval factor to stay up!). Looks are great and black-out is effective. I’m most exited about the expected energy savings.
I have two SmartWings shades that I can't say enough about. Each one works perfectly. I have one above my front door, and another one in my home theater room. For the home theater room I added light blockers on each side in order to keep out any light that would come in along the edges. I took the width of these into consideration when specifying the width of the shade, and the size is absolutely perfect. I have the standard motor in each one but I also ordered the Smart Link hub for home automation. The hub works great with just the standard motor, and also allows me to interface the shades to my Home Assistant ecosystem. SmartWings customer support is fantastic and very patient, even after all the questions I asked, Marina answered every one. I chose the Nowa shades in Wheat, and the color is really nice and 100% light blocking on my westward facing rooms. Great company and a great product!
Great blind!
Look and work great! Easy to install.
What a breeze these shades were to install. Measurements were exact and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
Perfect fit to my window and darkness in the room. Very easy to install and charge. Smooth operations with quiet motor. Very impressed so far! I hope the motor and battery are reliable and last a long time. Customer support was very quick to respond and send excellent self help videos.
My order arrived pretty quickly and the shades were easy to install. The remote and motor work great straight from the box. They were pre-programmed from the factory. The price is great for the convenience and quality.
Installed three inside mounted Double Cell Blackout Nowa shades using the Matter Motor Over Thread. Paired with Smartwing remote. Install, pairing and assigning single shades and groups to remote all went very smoothly.
The shades look great and worked with Apple Homekit seamlessly.
Great for blocking out lights. And the motor is wonderful. No more manual opening and closing shades forever.
Easy install. I was initially concerned about the product because the tech warned me that there was a flaw in the fold of the trapezoid blind due to its sharp angle; however, after the install there was no flaw and it turned out very well. Love the product and appreciate the communication from your people.
They work great! Going to order more!
Works great! I've been mulling this over for years and I'm so happy I finally did it! You likely won't be able to see in the video, but I added a USB-C extension cord from the header to the bottom of each window frame so I can recharge them on a 2' stool instead of a ladder.
The video says it all! I love these shades. Very easy to install. Packaged well. Came within 3 weeks. Great job Smart Wings!
Perfect fit, no gaps on either side or top & bottom!
We built a house with a beaitiful view and hated the idea of blinds. After searching everywhere we settled on this company because the blinds have very little footprint and when open they do not block our lovely view. Our guests are happy how much light these blinds block out and the auto feature is convenient and quiet. We plan to purchase more blinds now that we know they will not ruin our favorite part of our home!
SmartWings seem to be of good quality and were easy to install. Programming with Alexa was a bit of a challenge. I wanted the blinds on a timer which can be done with an Alexa routine but I found it to be much simpler to program a sunrise to sundown routine with the smart hub.
Wonderful shades and they work great. Minor struggle to get them all to connect to Smart things/Alexa. I had to factory reset one and it connected fine after. Smart home stuff is always wonky regardless of manufacturer and not obvious where the issues reside. Highly recommend these. They look good and do their job. You can see in the video them in action along with the solar panels.
High quality product! Delivery was quick, it was all very well packaged, and the blinds are high quality. Setting up the control in my SmartThings controller was very easy too. This was a trial window for me, will be ordering more of these.
Wonderful blinds for our room. They are both identical and I am able to control them individually for different light and access to windows. They look great and work well with Siri. I did have to do a couple of resets before they actually joined the Thread network, but now they respond to their names, Sleepy and Sneezy. Very happy with them!
My experience with Smartwings was excellent. Website was easy to use and understand. Directions to order were clear. Product shipped quickly and was received in good condition. Product is to spec and very nice quality. All instructions and accessories were included. A great addition is the website installer link. I filled out the form and was connected with a local installer. We booked an appointment very quickly. The installation was quick and easy. The blind fit, the remote was preprogrammed by the factory to the blind and the motor was pre charged. Very happy with the quality and outcome of the order.
First time having motorized blinds. They work great! Work in progress with Alexa.
the blinds were easy to install - the mounting brackets were easy to position and attach to the window frame. The blinds came pre-configured to the remote - operating the blinds was quick and easy. Still working through the process to interface with Alexa.
What an amazing product. I’ve been wanting these forever and I’m so glad I pulled the trigger. Thanks for a quality product
We bought the Nowa blackout cellular for the bedroom. The fit was very good so the the outside light from the morning sun was minimal. We are using the Echo Plus 2nd Gen to control the shades and the integrated system operates well. We are able to use voice commands as well as routines. We are planning on buying more shades.
Great curtain, easy to install.
They are great. Just as expected. Adjustable speed and the soft stop at the end is the best.
Easy to install. I did it alone but it would be easier with two people because my shades are very wide. Work well with HomeKit and my automations have been solid.
Straight out of the box it seemed pretty high quality, I was even impressed by the brackets to mount them. Installing it was simple, most difficult part was drilling holes in my wall as I didn’t realise the exact place I planned on putting it has rebar behind it. Once it was installed, I scanned the QR code on the bottom and in a few taps it was added to my Apple Home. No problems, probably the easiest product to add as I often get some issues adding things. Overall, super impressed. I was limited with choice as I needed a bespoke size. Plus, I was worried because I live in the UAE so I felt nervous buying from a company all the way in the US. Shipping was fine, it arrived earlier than the estimated window. I highly recommend smartwings. I’ll be ordering more when I’m ready to change all my curtains/blinds.
Well engineered. They were preprogrammed at the factory as if I were to do it myself. The blinds stop precisely at the sill, although I’m the one providing the measurements. I would recommend them.
