What is the difference between pleated shades and cellular shades?

Cellular shades provide more energy efficiency than pleated shades because of their honeycomb construction, which you can see when you look at them from the side. Pleated shades look the same as cellular shades from the front, but do not offer the insulating honeycomb design.

Duette® Honeycomb Shades are the industry’s original cellular shade, offering superior energy efficiency and a wide range of fabrics and colors to choose from.
