FAQs
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?
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?
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?
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?
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.

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 66 reviews.
The blinds are outstanding however I did have some issues. First, I was sent the wrong manuals with Honeycomb shades. Secondly, I didn’t know the battery went behide the blinds which need to said up front because that affects the placement of the blinds. Thirdly, I had to go thru the setup process with customer service. After everything was setup, the blinds connected to Zigbee and Alexa with customer service help.

Fits exactly the windows premium finish. Good work.
Samuel A.5/5Verified
I love these blinds! They fit perfectly inside my window and look great with my walls. I’ve already noticed a difference in how cool my house stays!
Erin F.5/5Verified
This SmartWings shade has truly been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our master bedroom. For years, as the morning sun rose directly through this window, we either had to pull the curtains tighter or put on our sleep masks if we wanted a little more rest. Don’t get me wrong—we absolutely love watching the sunrise—but now, with our SmartWings automatic shade, we finally have the best of both worlds! 😎
The shade is beautifully constructed, exactly as described, very reasonably priced compared to other brands, and arrived exceptionally well packaged. Installation was incredibly simple—it was practically ready to go right out of the box.
A special shout-out to the SmartWings team, who I actually had the pleasure of speaking with personally. Great customer service, a quality product, and a company that clearly takes pride in what they do. Keep up the excellent work—you’re building something that I believe will be around for a very long time!
John N.5/5Verified
They work great! Easy to install and use. Looking forward to years of use.
Judson C.5/5Verified
Quality, color, and ease of work ability are all excellent.
Terri F.5/5Verified
Easy ordering process and quick delivery. Was easy to setup and connect to our Apple Home ecosystem, so long as you are good at reading directions. Within about 1.5 hours we were up and running. Third blackout blinds that I have purchased from them. I value the price compared to competitors.
Michael B.5/5Verified
Installed one first to be sure then ordered the remaining nine. Works great, look forward to adding more.
Keith S.5/5Verified
This is our second set of blinds purchased and will be purchasing more. We got these for windows high up near vaulted ceilings, but they’re so nice we will be switching the whole house over to them. Excellent quality, packaging, product.
Ellen T.5/5Verified
Instructions were clear, the blinds work great and easily integrated into my smart home (zwave controller). Customer support pre-sales was great at answering all my questions as well. I’m already planning my next order for our upstairs blinds.
Alex P.5/5Verified
Order blackout shades for all bedrooms and purchasing light filtering/blackout shades for the living room, dinning room, and kitchen windows. They are relatively inexpensive compared to other companies without a drop in quality. Highly recommend!
Andreas Y.5/5Verified
I have installed automated blinds several times, and I have to say SmartWings surpassed my expectations. Easy to install (frankly I did it better than the professionals because of how easy the instructions were) and they are quieter than some others in the market. So far so good. My only advise is maybe to create a paper template and include it in the box so it is easier for people who are not too handy.
Augusto A.5/5Verified
I have a total of 7 of these now, all work perfectly. I use Alexa to automate their movements, and they pair seamlessly. Very happy. Great product...highly recommended.
Roger G.5/5Verified
The shades were easy to install. The remote was already programed to control the shades. The color of the shade and light blocking quality are very good. A true quality product.
Scott A.4/5Verified
Easy install and loved it so much so, that I ordered a second for another room. Only ask to SmartWings was to add more wall brackets for double window sized shades. The blackout shades do very well blocking out light.
Constantine K.5/5Verified
I measured myself and they came out perfect for my daughter’s room. She loves having it automatically open in the morning and close at night.
Kristy H.5/5Verified
Love the blinds. Here's the deal. I ordered one to cover a window in the bedroom. After the ease of installation, product quality, HomeKit integration, and convenience, I ordered two more, and we plan to order another. That said - you can see that I'm a big fan of their product :-)
Gary G.5/5Verified
Easy to install and custom size was perfect
Sanjay M.5/5Verified
The blinds were the perfect size, easy to install, and easy to setup with Apple Home. My only complaint, admittedly my fault for not ordering a sample, is that the color is more taupe than grey. The color is acceptable in my space, but would have preferred it closer to the light grey pictured on the website.
Philip K.4/5Verified
Shade is well constructed and as ordered. Solid product with an easy installation and we will be ordering more.
Jason J.5/5Verified
I’m pretty excited about this!!!
I’ve been looking for a solution that looks neat and tidy, and is almost invisible while up, but is effective at blocking sun when down. There are lots of very expensive options out there, but this solution was reasonably priced, easily customized, and extremely easy to install! It took my 74-year-old mom and me about 40 minutes from start to finish to read the instructions, install the brackets, install the shades, pair the remote and put it to good use. Very very pleased.
Darcy M.5/5Verified
As is customary these shades are high quality. Install was easy and operation even easier. I plan on ordering more!
Michael H.5/5Verified
Great experience with my first order from SmartWings.
I followed the measurement guide and my shades fit perfectly. They come already configured for the remote I ordered and the installation was super easy, just two screws per shade.
On top of the default remote control, I added all shades to my SmartThings platform and created automations for different moments of the day, exactly what I was looking for!
Dinis C.5/5Verified
Pros:
- Better than roller shades because they collapse on themselves at the bottom
- Works with Home Assistant*
- Great style, lightweight
- Perfect fit
Cons:
- Awkward battery attachment (new models do no use the plastic clip, but a finicky wire version)
- Loud. At least 3x louder that an IKEA Fyrtür
- *Does not report position or battery consistently
Adamo M.4/5Verified
These blinds are amazing! Super easy to install and work great!
Taylor B.5/5Verified
Easy install. Connecting Alexa had get the extra wifi hub, then to go through another app and then connect that app to Alexa.
Also battery is NOT hidden. Should have longer cables to mount on battery on wall or under curtains to hide it as it is a real eaysore. Got the 12v wall adapter but same problem that cord is way too short.
Make some different length cable extentions just for this purpose and you'll sell a ton of them, guaranteed! Also get matter going with more than the roller blinds will help. Love the shade other than these issues. Hope this helps you with future sales.
If you need a tester for new items, I'm you guy with 40 yrs in IT and the even more in home remodels!
Nate C.4/5Verified
The custom sizing was perfect. Installation was easy. Very good quality. Able to use it with my Google home/smartthings setup too. Will purchase more in future.
Sakib M.5/5Verified
This is my second set (for a different room) of honeycomb (Cellular) blackout blinds, and I love them. The installation and setting up Alexa was super easy.
Gregory H.5/5Verified
I love and Enjoy it with My HomeKit setup & Automation
Louis W.5/5
They installed very easily. Great quality. Love them
Tom J.5/5
My Hazel black out shades are AMAZING. We have been challenged with glare on our TV from our large window for years and the ease of installation, performance, and true blackout nature exceeded our expectations (and they look fantastic from inside and out)!
Mike M.5/5Verified
We can't believe we have been sleeping without these shades for over 3 years since we moved into this house! The difference is amazing, and we've slept so much better since we put them up. Our room is completely dark until we open them and the sun comes flooding in. They are exactly what we were looking for. The size was perfect, they were easy to install and we got the remote set up with no troubles. Thank you!
Kathleen M.5/5Verified
Exactly what we were looking for to replace old, heavy blinds in our bedroom. We were wowed by the quality for the price, and how easy they were to install, especially since we have 80+ inch windows.
Magaly N.5/5Verified
Review after 2 months of using. Great product, easy to install, custom size came perfect fit for the window, easy to manage via Apple Home. The solar panel removes the need of repeated charging. Will be buying more for other windows soon.
Chandan V.5/5Verified
My over the garage office has a large 6’x6’ window. The room would get so hot on warm days but the shades work wonders. They block nearly all the light and make the room feel so much cooler.
Jason D.5/5Verified
Loved that the shades came preprogrammed to work individually and as a group. Saves us much time and effort. Shades were also cut well to fit and the motor is quiet.
Judy B.5/5Verified
They fit perfectly and are already adjusted to stop when closed. So far I love them.
Duane O.5/5Verified
Perfect
Bruce D.5/5Verified
Shades installed quickly and fit perfectly. Was able to easily add them into Home Assistant through Zwave. They really make the rooms look much nicer during the day and provide a ton of privacy at night.
Alex M.5/5Verified
Very easy to install the fit is perfect. The blinds came out better than I expected. My blinds are synced with Siri and they work perfectly.
