Abstract
A cellular pleated shade material is provided for cellular pleated shades. Each pleat thereof is formed from a single strip of shade material which is folded longitudinally in half, and the edges thereof are glued together to form a fin. The side of one cell is affixed to the side of the next adjacent cell adjacent the centerline of the sides. The ratio of cell height to cell width may be varied, without affecting the overall aesthetic presentation of the shade, by varying the size of the fin.
