Is Arizona Sun Costing You Money—and Comfort?
Sun City West windows take a beating. Intense solar heat pours in through bare windows, driving up your cooling bills all summer. UV rays fade carpets, furniture, and flooring over time. And thin window coverings do little to quiet a room or hold the temperature steady between morning and afternoon.
Soft Natural Light and A Cool Room
Cellular honeycomb shades solve all three problems at once. Their unique pocket construction traps air between layers—acting as a thermal buffer that keeps heat out in summer and warmth in during cooler months. Experts estimate that windows account for roughly 25%–30% of a home’s heat gain or loss, and cellular shades are specifically engineered to address that vulnerability. You get meaningful energy savings, better comfort, softer natural light, and a polished look that elevates every room.

Types of Cellular Shades We Offer
Single-Cell
One layer of air-trapping cells provides solid light control and a clean, compact look. A great entry point into cellular shades that delivers real energy performance at an approachable price. Available in a wide range of colors and opacity levels.
Double-Cell
Two stacked layers of cells mean more trapped air, more insulation, and greater temperature stability throughout the day. The better choice for rooms with large windows or strong western and southern exposure—exactly what many Sun City West homes face.
Motorized
Raise, lower, or schedule your shades with the touch of a button or a voice command. Norman® Smart Motorization integrates seamlessly with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. The rechargeable internal battery uses a wireless charging wand—no electrician required.
Cordless
Eliminate dangling cords entirely with a clean, safe cordless lift system. Norman's award-winning SmartRise™ Cordless system is self-leveling, easy to operate, and Certified Best for Kids—an ideal choice for any household.
Top-Down,
Bottom-Up
Lower from the top for natural light with privacy, or raise from the bottom for a view. This versatile configuration is especially popular in Sun City West living rooms and bedrooms where you want both brightness and seclusion at the same time.
What Do Cellular Shades Typically Cost?
Cellular shade pricing in Arizona varies based on window dimensions, fabric selection, cell size, single vs. double cell construction, and whether motorization or specialty lift systems are included. Larger openings and smart home integration will influence the final investment.
During your in-home consultation, we provide detailed, line-item pricing so you can clearly see what affects cost. Our goal is to help you find options that perform beautifully and fit your budget—with no hidden fees and no pressure.
How Much Light Do You Want in the Room?
Every fabric we carry falls somewhere on this spectrum. Your consultant will bring samples so you can see exactly how each one performs in your home's light.
Sheer
Best for: Living rooms, sunrooms, offices with a view
Lets in generous natural light while gently softening glare. Sheer cellular fabrics block as little as 50% of UV rays, so the room stays warm and bright with a soft, diffused quality. You'll see outlines through the shade during the day, making this the most open feel available.
Light Filtering
Best for: Living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens
The most popular choice for Arizona homes. Light-filtering cellular fabrics block approximately 90% of UV light and diffuse harsh sunlight into a soft, even glow that protects floors and furnishings while keeping rooms feeling open and comfortable. No view-through, but the space stays beautifully bright.
Room Darkening
Best for: Bedrooms, media rooms, nurseries
Room-darkening cellular fabrics block up to 100% of UV light, significantly calming and darkening the space. Ideal when you want meaningful darkness for sleep, daytime TV, or simply escaping the Arizona afternoon glare. A popular choice for western-facing bedrooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here Are The Most Common Questions About Cellular Shades
If you have additional questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
What makes cellular shades different from regular shades?
Cellular (or honeycomb) shades have a unique pocket structure that traps air between layers of fabric, creating a thermal barrier that regular shades can't match. That insulating air pocket is what makes them genuinely energy-efficient—not just light-controlling.
Will cellular shades actually lower my energy bills in Arizona?
They can make a meaningful difference. Windows account for an estimated 25%–30% of a home's heat gain or loss. Cellular shades—especially double-cell construction—help buffer that heat transfer, reducing how hard your HVAC system has to work during our long, hot summers and cooler winter mornings.
Do cellular shades also absorb sound?
Yes—that's a standout benefit many homeowners don't expect. The honeycomb structure dampens noise, making cellular shades a great choice for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space where you want a quieter, more peaceful environment.
How long does the process take?
From consultation to installation, most cellular shade projects are completed in a matter of weeks. We'll give you clear timelines during your in-home visit so there are no surprises.
Is installation included?
Yes. Professional installation is always included. Our installers work efficiently and cleanly, respecting your home and ensuring every shade operates perfectly before they leave.
Do I have to decide during the consultation?
No. Our consultations are informational and no-pressure. You're welcome to take your time comparing fabric samples and options before moving forward.
Are cellular shades custom-made or standard sizes?
All of our cellular shades are custom-measured and built to your exact window dimensions. A precise fit is essential for both proper appearance and peak energy performance.
Can cellular shades be motorized?
Yes. We offer motorized cellular shades compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit using Norman® Smart Motorization. The rechargeable internal battery is topped off with a wireless charging wand. Battery-powered options are also available for windows without nearby power outlets.
Are cordless options available?
Yes—and they're a popular choice. Norman's SmartRise™ Cordless system eliminates cord hazards entirely and is Certified Best for Kids. We also offer top-down/bottom-up configurations for maximum light and privacy flexibility.
