  • Roller Shade Style with Cellular Construction
  • Cellular Fabrics Help Insulate Windows
  • Designer Colors & Fabrics Available

Sonnette® shades are an exclusive Hunter Douglas design that combines the smooth operation of a roller shade with the insulating benefits of a cellular shade. When raised, the shade disappears neatly into the headrail. When lowered, its curved cellular construction helps improve comfort at the window while creating a beautiful backdrop for your home. These innovative thermal window shades are ideal for homeowners who want the clean look of roller shades with added insulation and year-round comfort.

Why Choose Cellular Roller Shades?

Traditional honeycomb shades are known for their insulating cellular design and energy-saving performance. Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades take that same concept and combine it with the clean, contemporary operation of a roller shade.

Unlike traditional cellular shades that stack into visible pleats when raised, Sonnette shades roll smoothly into the headrail for a streamlined appearance. When lowered, the curved cellular fabric helps create a layer of insulation at the window, improving comfort while maintaining the simple style homeowners love. The result is a unique window treatment that combines the sleek look of roller shades with the benefits of cellular construction.

The Benefits of Honeycomb Insulation

The cellular design inside Sonnette® shades creates pockets of air that help insulate the window. Similar to other energy efficient window treatments, this honeycomb construction helps reduce heat transfer, making it easier to maintain a comfortable indoor environment throughout the year.

During the summer months, cellular roller shades help limit solar heat gain by reducing the amount of heat that enters through the glass. In winter, the insulating air pockets help slow heat loss, adding another layer of comfort at the window. This combination of roller shade simplicity and honeycomb insulation makes Sonnette® shades an excellent choice for homeowners looking to balance style, light control, and energy performance.

Motorized Control & Smart Home Integration

The smooth rolling operation of Sonnette® Cellular Roller Shades makes adjusting light and privacy effortless. Choose from cordless and cord-safe operating systems, or upgrade to motorized shades for even greater convenience.

With Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, you can control your shades with a remote, smartphone app, voice assistant, or smart home system. Create personalized schedules, save favorite shade positions, and automatically adjust your window treatments throughout the day. For homeowners looking to combine comfort, energy efficiency, and modern technology, motorized Sonnette® shades deliver seamless control at the touch of a button.
