What Are Honeycomb Shades?

Honeycomb shades, also known as cellular shades, are an energy-efficient window treatment designed with two or more layers of fabric that fold into crisp pleats. These layers create insulating air pockets that help regulate indoor temperatures by reducing heat transfer between your windows and home. 

Problems Cellular Shades Solve

Most of us do not think about our window treatments until something starts driving us crazy every day. Custom honeycomb shades fix those exact home frustrations before they ruin your mood.

Here is how cellular shades solve common problems:

• Bedrooms That Are Too Bright At 6:00 AM. It is hard to get a good night's sleep when the sun wakes you up before your alarm. Our specialized honeycomb cells block that morning light, while room-darkening fabrics absorb harsh morning sun so you can actually sleep in.
• Rooms That Turn Into Saunas by Afternoon. If your sunroom, home office, or west-facing windows get uncomfortably hot, the built-in air pockets inside these cellular shades trap intense heat before it ever enters your room. You can finally use your favorite spaces all day long.
• Climbing Energy Bills. Your windows are the biggest source of temperature leaks in your home. The dual-walled insulation of honeycomb shades keeps you cool in July and seals warmth inside during January, which is why they even qualify for federal energy tax credits
• Windows That Just Look Bare or Unfinished. You do not have to settle for boring, generic plastic blinds. With a massive selection of honeycomb patterns, rich tones, and woven textures, we can give any room a clean, professional designer look that matches your style.
• Safety Worries Around Kids and Pets. Exposed, dangling cords are a constant safety hazard for toddlers and curious pets. Our smooth cordless and motorized honeycomb options completely eliminate that risk, giving you total peace of mind.
• Windows You Can Never Reach. Skylights, windows over the sink, or anything high above a stairwell usually just get ignored. Smart motorized cellular shades let you adjust them right from your phone or a remote, no step stool required.
• Oddly Shaped Windows. Archways, circles, and specialty angles are incredibly tough to cover without looking awkward. Because honeycomb fabric is so flexible, we can handcraft them to fit those exact dimensions, so even your trickiest window looks beautiful.
• Bulky Blinds Blocking Your Favorite View. Heavy wood blinds stack up so thick at the top that they block the view of the outdoors even when fully open. The crisp pleats of a honeycomb shade compress down into almost nothing, letting you enjoy your full view whenever you want.

Whatever's bothering you about a specific room in your house, we can help you find a custom cellular shade built to fix it. Need something for outside the house, too? Custom outdoor shades handle the same problems on patios and porches.

Frequently Asked Questions about Custom Cellular Shades

How much do custom cellular shades actually cost compared to big-box stores?

Because every window is built to your exact dimensions, pricing varies by size and fabric choice. 

However, we give you a complete, transparent quote upfront during your free consultation, with absolutely zero hidden fees or surprise upsells. 

Plus, when you factor in the flawless fit, professional installation, and federal energy tax credits, our custom shades often save you money over DIY mistakes in the long run.

Do you remove and dispose of my old window blinds, or is that on me?

We'll remove and dispose of your old window treatments. 

On installation day, our team will carefully take down your old window treatments and haul them away for you at no extra charge. We leave your home completely spotless, so your only job is to enjoy your new view.

How long does the whole process take from my first call to final installation?

Your initial in-home or video consultation takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Once you select your design and we take precise measurements, your custom honeycomb shades are built from scratch. 

Delivery and professional installation typically occur within a few weeks. This timeline can shift slightly depending on your fabric choice and how many windows we are crafting, but your Gotcha Covered consultation will keep you posted. 

Our team usually completes the installation in just a few hours.

Can cellular shades handle high-moisture rooms like bathrooms or over the kitchen sink?

Yes, absolutely. We offer specialized moisture-resistant honeycomb material specifically for kitchens and bathrooms. 

They won't warp, accumulate mildew, or lose their crisp shape in humid environments, giving you the exact same privacy and insulation as the rest of your home.

My windows tilt inward / are very deep / have shallow trim. Can you still fit them?

Yes! This is exactly why our clients choose custom over off-the-shelf. 

Standard retail shades require a very specific, perfect window frame. Because we measure down to the millimeter and handcraft each track, we can expertly mount honeycomb shades inside shallow casings, on unique trim, or even on tilted skylights where standard blinds fail.

What is the Difference Between Honeycomb and Cellular Shades?

The terms "honeycomb" and "cellular" are used interchangeably to describe the same innovative window covering. The two names simply refer to different aspects of the product’s design.

The name "honeycomb" references the product’s distinct visual structure, which is reminiscent of a beehive. The name "cellular" refers to the series of air-trapping pockets, or cells, created by that structure.

This cellular construction is what makes these shades highly effective at insulating your home against heat and cold, improving overall energy efficiency. 

Ultimately, both names describe a beautiful and highly functional product, and we can help you select the ideal option for your home.

Can Cellular Shades be Cut to Size?

While some big-box store shades can be cut down after purchase, we take a much more precise approach to ensure a flawless result.

For a truly professional and seamless look, all our cellular shades are custom-fit to the exact specifications of your windows. This process avoids the risk of frayed edges or an improper fit that can result from post-production cutting.

It guarantees your new shades will not only look beautiful but will also provide the maximum energy efficiency and light control your windows deserve. We handle the measurements—you enjoy the perfect fit.
