9/16" Classic Single Cell Blackout Cordless Shades
True darkness, beautifully tailored.
Our 9/16" Classic Single Cell Blackout Cordless Shades combine an opaque blackout fabric with an insulating honeycomb cell, so the same shade that darkens a bedroom also keeps it warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The 9/16" medium cell gives a clean, tailored line on the window, neither too fine nor too bulky.
Made from 100% polyester spun lace non-woven fabric and finished with a color-coordinated vinyl headrail and bottom rail, they are built to look considered rather than purely functional.
Key Features and Benefits
- True Blackout Fabric: Opaque honeycomb fabric blocks incoming light through the shade for genuine darkness, day or night.
- 9/16" Medium Cell: A .5625" honeycomb structure that improves insulation, boosts energy efficiency, and creates a clean, tailored look.
- Free Cordless Lift: Smooth, safe, and modern operation with no dangling cords, ideal for homes with children and pets.
- Sleek Vinyl Rail System: Color-coordinated headrail and bottom rail designed for long-lasting strength and a polished, cohesive appearance.
- Noise Dampening: Air trapped in the cells absorbs sound, softening street and neighborhood noise.
- White Street-Side Backing: Every color reads the same neutral white from outside, keeping your home's exterior uniform.
- Hidden Brackets: A tight inside-mount fit with no visible hardware.
Six Quiet Neutrals
Available in Winter White, White Dove, Cotton, Gray Sheen, Fawn, and Warm Cocoa. The palette is deliberately restrained, because a blackout shade spends most of its life closed, and a calm neutral reads better across a wall of windows than a strong color would.
Pro Tip: Order free samples (up to 10, shipped free) and check them against your wall color rather than your trim, since a closed blackout shade behaves visually more like a wall panel than a window.
Built for the Rooms That Need Dark
Bedrooms, nurseries, media rooms, and any window facing a streetlight or a rising sun. If you work nights, this is the specification that makes daytime sleep possible.
A realistic note: the fabric itself blocks light completely, but as with every inside-mounted shade, a little light will edge in around the window frame. For the darkest possible room, choose an outside mount with a few inches of overlap on each side and above the opening. It costs nothing extra and makes a genuine difference.
