Elite uses D-shaped cells to keep your pleats looking sharp and structured. These pockets create a soft, clean look that differs from rolling shades, offering distinct benefits for privacy and insulation.

Elite Cellular Shades
Find the right balance of light and privacy. We help you choose between single or double cells, cordless ease or smart automation, and fabrics that keep your home feeling calm and comfortable.
Two fabrics in one shade
Cordless Day/Night pairs a light-filtering fabric with a blackout option. It gives you flexible control over the sun and privacy, letting you shift the mood of your room in an instant.
A clean street-side look
Elite fabrics feature a neutral white backing for a consistent, tidy view from the street. If your building has specific exterior guidelines, we can help you choose the right fit for those needs.

Elite D-shaped cells support a clean, pleated look that holds its shape. Choose between single or double cells to balance the texture you want with the insulation needs of your specific room.
Filtering or blackout fabrics
Softened light and total darkness create different moods. Tell us how you use your room so we can help you select the right opacity, keeping in mind how mounting affects your light control.
Neutral white backing
The white backing keeps the view from outside clean and consistent. Think of this as a way to maintain a uniform look for your home while choosing the perfect colour for your interior.

Simple controls for every window
Elite offers a few ways to operate your shades. We will help you pick the method that feels most natural for your daily habits and the layout of your furniture.

Planning your cellular shade project
Honeycomb fabrics have a soft, deep structure that forms a stack when raised. We consider these details alongside your decor to ensure your finished shades look beautiful and operate with ease.
Space behind the fabric
We check your window recess and any hardware, like handles, to ensure your shade moves freely. A great fit starts by considering the depth of your window frame before you make a selection.
Full view and access
Consider how the shade looks when fully raised or lowered. We help you plan for the stack at the top and ensure your controls are easy to reach, even behind furniture or large pieces.
Comfort and light control
Cellular shades offer natural insulation for added comfort. While they manage your light and privacy beautifully, we encourage you to look at your windows as a whole to ensure the best results.
Frequently asked
What does D-shaped cell mean?
It is the internal construction that keeps your pleated fabric looking crisp. It is a detail that ensures your shade maintains its structure over time, giving you a clean, elegant look at every window.
Is Day/Night the same as top-down?
Not quite. Day/Night uses two different fabrics in one shade for light or privacy. Top-down refers to moving the shade position on the glass. We can help you pick the function that fits your needs.
Will condo boards approve these shades?
Many buildings require a neutral white backing, which Elite offers. Please share your building's guidelines with us so we can help you select a shade that meets both your interior style and their exterior rules.
Can these shades be motorized?
Yes. We can integrate Elite Smart Shade automation to give you control via remote, app or smart home system. Let us know which features matter to you, and we will find the right setup.
Can you cover a quarter arch?
Yes, we have solutions for arches and other unique shapes. Send us a photo of the window, and we will guide you through the options to ensure a perfect, beautiful fit for your home.
Can you help me from Calgary?
Yes. Start by calling our Edmonton team or sending us photos of your windows. We can guide your design choices remotely and confirm the details for your measuring and installation needs in Calgary.
How should I clean my shades?
Care depends on your chosen fabric. Most can be gently dusted or vacuumed with a brush attachment. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the fabric, as this can damage the cellular structure and the finish.
Do you provide free consultations?

"I didn’t realize how much difference good drapery could make until these arrived. The fabric feels substantial but airy — it softens the whole room. Measuring was simple, and the fit is exact."
