Cellular / Honeycomb Shades: 1" vs 1.5" Cell, Standard vs Day-Night — Which One Actually Fits Your Window?

EaseEase cellular shades are also called honeycomb shades — named for the hexagonal air pockets in their fabric. The key choice isn’t the name: it’s the cell size (1" vs 1.5" — bigger = better insulation) and the type (standard blackout, day-and-night dual-mode, waterproof, no-drill, or skylight). EaseEase has 7 distinct honeycomb options, from $106. All cordless, all custom-width, 5–7 day lead time.

1 inch vs 1.5 inch honeycomb cell size comparison

Left: 1" single cell — lighter, ideal for specialty installs. Right: 1.5" double cell — larger air pocket, stronger insulation.

1.5" Double Cell — best insulation

The largest air pocket in this collection. Two layers of honeycomb cells trap air more effectively, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Best choice for bedrooms, living rooms, and any room where energy savings matter. Three options: standard blackout, day/night mode, and top-down bottom-up.

Day & Night Cellular — dual-mode

A 1.5" double cell shade with two distinct fabric zones — one sheer, one blackout. Pull to the “day” position: soft diffused light filters through. Pull to “night”: full blackout. The only honeycomb in this collection that gives you a daytime view option without sacrificing total blackout capability.

1" Single Cell — waterproof & special installs

Thinner cells, lighter profile. Available in four versions: Waterproof (the only honeycomb rated for bathrooms and kitchens), No-Drill (tension bracket mount — no screws), Glass Door (extra-wide, no-drill), and Skylight (overhead installation with angled brackets). Choose 1" when the room is wet, the wall can’t be drilled, or the window is overhead.

Good to Know Before You Order

Three things that trip up first-time honeycomb shade buyers:

  • “Cellular shades” and “honeycomb shades” are the same product — both names refer to the air-pocket fabric construction. You’ll see both terms used for the same styles; they are not different product categories.
  • 1.5" cells insulate better than 1" cells — the larger air pocket is a more effective thermal barrier. For bedrooms and main living areas where energy efficiency is the goal, choose 1.5". Use 1" where you need waterproofing or a special mounting method (no-drill, skylight).
  • Only the 1" Waterproof Honeycomb is rated for wet rooms — the 1.5" double cell shades use standard fabric that absorbs moisture and will degrade in bathrooms or kitchens. The 1" Waterproof Honeycomb has a splash-resistant fabric (Level 3 out of 5): it handles steam and humidity well, but if water contacts it directly, wipe it dry promptly.

FAQs about Cellular Shades

What is the difference between cellular shades and honeycomb shades?

They are the same thing. "Cellular shades" and "honeycomb shades" are two names for the same product — window shades made from fabric with hexagonal air-pocket cells. You’ll see both terms used interchangeably across brands and retailers. At EaseEase, all styles in this collection are honeycomb/cellular construction.

What is the difference between 1" and 1.5" honeycomb shades?

Cell size determines insulation strength. The 1.5" double cell has a larger air pocket and two layers of cells, making it a stronger thermal barrier — best for bedrooms, living rooms, and cold climates. The 1" single cell is thinner and lighter, and is the format used for specialty options: waterproof (bathroom/kitchen), no-drill (tension bracket), glass door, and skylight installation. If insulation is the priority, choose 1.5". If you need waterproofing or a special mount, choose 1".

Which EaseEase cellular shade is best for a bedroom?

For blackout + insulation in a bedroom, the 1.5" Double Cell Honeycomb Shades (from $161) give you the strongest thermal barrier with blackout fabric. If you also want a daytime sheer option, choose the Day and Night Cellular Shades (from $250) — they switch between a soft diffused day mode and total blackout night mode. For privacy control without losing the top-of-window view, the Top-Down Bottom-Up Honeycomb Shades (from $166) let you open from either end.

Are cellular shades waterproof? Can I use them in a bathroom?

Only the 1" Waterproof Honeycomb Shades are rated for wet rooms. They use a waterproof, mildew-resistant fabric that handles bathroom steam and kitchen splashes. The 1.5" double cell shades (standard honeycomb, Day and Night, TDBU) use standard fabric that will absorb moisture and degrade in high-humidity environments. If the installation is in a bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room, choose the waterproof 1" version specifically.

What is the difference between Day and Night Cellular Shades and standard honeycomb shades?

Day and Night Cellular Shades have two fabric zones built into a single shade: one sheer panel and one blackout panel. When pulled to the "day" position, the sheer zone sits across the window and filters soft diffused light while blocking the direct view. When pulled to the "night" position, the blackout zone covers the window for total darkness. They share the same 1.5" double cell construction as the standard honeycomb, so insulation is equally strong in both modes.

Do cellular shades really help with insulation and energy bills?

Yes — honeycomb shades are among the most energy-efficient window coverings available. The air trapped inside each cell acts as an insulating buffer between the glass and the room, slowing heat transfer in both directions. The 1.5" double cell shades provide stronger insulation than the 1" single cell, because the larger and doubled air pocket creates a thicker barrier. In cold climates, this can meaningfully reduce heating costs; in hot climates, it helps keep rooms cooler.

Can I install honeycomb shades without drilling?

Yes — EaseEase has two no-drill honeycomb options. The No-Drill 1" Honeycomb Shades use a tension bracket system that wedges against the window frame with no screws needed — ideal for rentals, tile walls, or anywhere drilling isn’t possible. They fit windows up to 70" wide. The Glass Door No-Drill Honeycomb is designed for extra-wide panels on glass doors. Both mount and remove without tools.

What is the lead time for EaseEase cellular shades?

All EaseEase cellular shades are custom-made to your exact measurements and ship in 5–7 business days. Expedited shipping is available at checkout if you need them sooner. All orders come with a lifelong limited warranty.
