On the patio door, the cellular shades have no cords. The headrail houses the recoil winches for the cords within the shades. The material is a single-cell fabric that provides a good degree of insulation over the patio door window.
As an outside mount, the shades on the door also have hold-down brackets at the bottom to prevent the bottom rail from swinging and hitting the door when opening and closing.

The cellular shades have a single (bottom) moving rail that travels up and down – manual control.

Above the door, the cellular shades have no cords. A single infrared sensor on the right side of the headrail serves as a receiver. The shades go up and down by using a hand-held remote control.

The countertops are quite wide. Reaching over them to grab the control cords seemed like a chore. That's why the customer picked cellular shades with remote control features. The remote system runs on AA batteries for the hend-held control, headrail sensor and the electric motor that opens and closes the shades.

As you can see, the honeycomb (cellular) shades fit nicely the window frames as an inside mount (flush with the casing). Notice the light-diffusing cellular fabric. It softens the blast of the incoming light from the southern exposure as well as cuts down on UV rays damage to the hardwood floors.

It was hot the day we installed these cellular shades. When we lowered them, we could feel a drop in temperature right away. Hey, even our sunglasses came off. The fabric did its job by filtering out the excess light.
What topped the cake was seeing the delight on the customer's face. We could tell she definitely liked her new cellular shades .
