The Difference Between Pleated and Cellular Shades
The appearance of pleated and cellular shades can create a little bit of confusion. They both have beautiful pleats that create straight, clean lines.
Cellular shades, often called “honeycomb” shades get their name from the cells of air that are created in between layers of fabric. They’re top performers in insulation as a result! They’re a familiar shade as many of us grew up with them in our homes. Today’s shades use the same perfect design, but with modern styles, operations, and materials.
Pleated shades have the appearance of cellular shades from the front, but there the comparison stops! They combine the advantages of a traditional shade with the modern, sleek look of crisp and even pleats. They’re available in a massive variety of colors and patterns. You can also add liners such as privacy, blackout, and thermal options for enhanced functionality.
No matter the shade you choose, cellular and pleated shades are great options for any home!
Cellular Honeycomb Shades
The ever-popular winner of insulation, cellular shades are a homeowner favorite. Not only do they look great, but they can legitimately save you money on your energy bills by preventing the hot sun from entering your windows. When that happens, your air conditioner has to work harder.
The US Department of Energy recommends insulated cellular shades and says “cellular shades can reduce unwanted solar heat through windows by up to 60%, reducing the total solar gain to 20% when installed with a tight fit.”
If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint or simply just keep the heat from making a space in your home uncomfortable, cellular shades are a great choice. Schedule a free consultation with us and we’ll help you find the perfect shades for your home!
From windows to doors, arches to circles, we offer a huge variety of options, including motorization control for your shades.
Pleated Shades
Love the clean look of pleats but don’t need insulation? Pleated shades are for you! They come in premium stylish and modern prints, colors, and textures to create the perfect design for any home. Filter light beautifully, and add liners for increased light control, or even thermal benefits.
Side channels are an option for many window coverings, including pleated shades. Small additions to the sides of your windows help block light leaks to help you get better sleep.
We also offer EvenPleat® from Graber, which creates a back ladder to keep the pleats looking crisp and prevent sagging years down the road like other brands.

What People Say About Us
"From scheduling our appointment to meeting with our designer, Bernadette, and the installer, Alfredo, we were met with professionalism and comforted in knowing we were dealing with people who knew what they were doing. Arrival times were well within the two-hour window. Bernadette shared her knowledge and expertise to help us choose the window treatments that best fit our needs and budget. We are so pleased with the final result and look forward to covering the rest of the window in our home."
"My wife and I recently moved and were in the market for new shades for our bathroom , living room and kitchen . We didn't really have a set vision so it was unbelievable when our designer Karen went through all the possibilities and showed us what would work well with the setup . Karen was not only very professional , she was personable and super knowledgeable about the products. I wish I could have her design the rest of our house ! Great product , great designer, great experience!"
"I would like to say that Galaxy Draperies was the best choice we've made. We recently purchased a new home and wanted to thank Bernadette for the amazing service she provided. I was referred to her by my sister, which also happened to purchase through you guys. Not only did Bernadette make me feel comfortable but it felt like I was working with family."
"Ordered Roman Shades for five windows. Designer who came to our home was nice and professional, Roman Shades arrived on time, the installation was handled by their installer who called and asked if he could come by earlier than our appointment, which was great. He was friendly, professional and did a great job! Highly recommend this company."
"I had a great experience with Galaxy. The designer presented me with several options and was very helpful in designing my window treatments. The installers were very professional, courteous, and careful! I will definitely use them in the future!"
"Galaxy Draperies was very professional, timely and responsive to the issue we had with one of the new shades. From their design team to the installation, everyone was very nice, informative and helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing new window coverings."
"Great experience end to end with Galaxy. From the initial consult to the end product, communication was clear and everyone I interacted with was lovely. Highly recommended this company!"
"I just used Galaxy Draperies. I had a very heavy window covering which was mostly impossible to use. We looked at options and Galaxy Draperies suggested we use a motorized window covering. The material is beautiful and it's made so well. You can't see through from outside in yet you can see outside from inside the house. It works so quietly and solved all my problems. The wonderful lady who came to our house was great and always returned calls and did a wonderful job. I highly recommend them."
