The goal was to create an energy-efficient, highly insulating window shade of cellular construction that offered clear views, complete privacy and a high level of UV protection as well as meeting the needs of today's consumers. Trio Convertible Shades use 29 mm hexagonally-shaped, horizontal vanes that compress and expand to let in more or less light.

• Trio is available in two fabric styles: Semi-opaque and a room-darkening palette.
• The shades' air pockets give remarkable insulation.
