In addition, Blinds Etc is able to integrate motorized shdes into your Smart Home, making it easy to control your blinds from just about anywhere from your smart phone.

Cellular (Honeycomb) Shades

Also referred to as Honeycomb Shades or Cellular Blinds, “Cellulars” offer great insulation value and can be used for “black out” or room darkening applications. Because they can filter light so well, Cellular Shades are also a great protection against harmful UV rays, protecting your furniture and floors from fading. You may sometimes see the term “Top Down Bottom Up”, as an option for Cellular Blinds. “TDBU” allows you to lower the top or raise the bottom of the shade, granting you more control over your light and privacy.

Plantation or Interior Shutters have been popular for years because of the resulting look and ambiance they create. Shutters from Blinds Etc can be custom built to fit arched and angled windows of just about any shape. Add motorization, and shutters can be an integral part of your Smart Home too, opening up your windows to the beautiful views the Coeur d’Alene area has to offer!
