Norman Portrait Honeycomb Shades: Year-Round Comfort, Lasting Style
Windows are one of the biggest weak spots in your home's comfort. In summer, sunlight pours in and heats up your rooms. In winter, warm air escapes through the glass and chilly drafts creep in. Honeycomb shades are proven to help guard against both, reducing heat gain in the warmer months and heat loss in the colder ones.
If you're looking for a window covering that works as hard as it looks, Norman® Portrait Honeycomb Shades deserve a spot at the top of your list. Here's what makes them stand out.
Built to Insulate: Norman's D-Cell Construction
The secret to any honeycomb shade is in its shape. Each shade is made of rows of hollow, honeycomb-shaped cells. Those cells trap pockets of air between your window and your room, creating an insulating layer that slows heat transfer in both directions.
Norman takes this a step further with its distinctive D-cell construction. Many honeycomb shades can lose their shape over time. When the pleats flatten, the air pockets shrink, and so does their insulating power. Portrait Honeycomb Shades are engineered to hold their crisp pleats year after year. The air pockets stay intact, so your shades keep saving energy and looking sharp long after installation.
The result? Rooms that stay cooler in summer and cozier in winter, with less work for your heating and cooling system.
Enhanced Light Control and Privacy
Even the best shade can let a sliver of light slip in around the edges. Portrait Honeycomb Shades offer optional side channels that close those gaps and cut down on light leakage along the sides.
That makes them a great fit for bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms and any space where you want a darker, more restful environment or extra privacy. Sealing the edges can also help the shade do an even better job of keeping outdoor temperatures where they belong: outside.
SmartFit® Innovation for a Clean, Cord-Free Look
Norman's SmartFit® system gives your shades a sleek, integrated appearance with no dangling cords, on virtually any window. It's especially handy for French doors and tilt-in windows, because the shade moves right along with the window instead of getting in the way.
Fewer cords also means a tidier look and a safer home for kids and pets.
