Honeycomb Shades In Belton
Honeycomb (Cellular) Shades in Belton, MO
Honeycomb Shades, also known as cellular shades, insulate the drafty windows in a Belton home. In January the wind comes across the open fields and finds every gap in an older window, and the air pocket in our Solar Shield Blinds Honeycomb Shades puts a layer of still air between you and the cold glass.
Where It Fits In Belton
Where cellular shades fit in a Belton home
Between the older windows near downtown Belton and the full sun on the newer lots, a honeycomb shade has two jobs here, keeping heat in during the winter and blocking the sun in the summer.
- North bedroomsA north bedroom in a Belton ranch feels the January wind before any other room. Double cell honeycomb insulates the best, and room darkening fabric handles the early summer sunrise.
- Shallow casingsReplacement windows set into an older opening leave a shallow casing. The honeycomb has the smallest headrail of any window covering we carry, so it fits inside the frame where other products won't.
- Front rooms near downtownFront rooms near downtown Belton sit close to the sidewalk. Top Down Bottom Up lets daylight in over the privacy line while the bottom half keeps the room private.
- Kids' roomsCordless Lift and Lock has no cord on the shade at all, and it runs Top Down Bottom Up up to 84 inches wide. It's what most Belton parents choose for the bedrooms.
Worth Knowing
How a honeycomb shade insulates and where to put it first
A honeycomb shade is two layers of fabric with an air pocket between them, and that pocket is what does the work. It holds the cold out in January and the heat out in July, which is why we point Belton homeowners to the drafty rooms first: the north bedrooms, the room over the garage in a split level, and the bay window in a 1960s ranch that never quite warms up. A settled window can still leak a little air around the frame, and the shade puts a layer of still air in front of the glass, which is the part you feel.
Choose light filtering, room darkening or sheer from over 100 fabrics, and light filtering and room darkening can be combined in one shade for a bedroom that's soft by day and dark at night. Top Down Bottom Up goes up to 84 inches wide cordless and 120 inches motorized. For a patio door we have a vertical honeycomb that stacks to about six inches on one side, and we build shades for arches, angles and skylights. The street side of every honeycomb is white, so the front of the house looks the same from the curb.
Room darkening honeycomb still leaves thin light gaps at the sides, and a privacy light block closes most of them. White room darkening fabrics also look a little gray because of the liner, so your Design Specialist brings samples of both. The consultation is free, every opening is measured, and your quote is exact and held for 180 days. Interior treatments take 4 to 6 weeks, and our own Install Techs finish most Belton homes in less than a day.

Straight Answers
Honeycomb Shades questions from Belton homeowners
Yes, more than any other single layer shade because of the air pocket. They won't fix a gap in the window frame, but they do put a layer of still air between you and the cold glass, and that's what you feel sitting near the window in January.
Top Down Bottom Up is made for that. You lower the top of the shade and daylight comes in over the privacy line, while the bottom stays covered so the sidewalk sees fabric. For a front room near downtown Belton, that's the version we recommend first.
Yes. Every honeycomb shade is white on the side facing the street, whatever color you pick for the inside, so the front of a Belton ranch looks clean from the curb even when every room has its own color.
Yes. Cordless Lift and Lock, PowerWand and Motorized are all child safe, with no accessible cord on the shade. Cordless costs a little more than a cord loop, and your quote shows the difference for each window so you can decide room by room.
No. Our typical lead time for Honeycomb Shades is 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and most projects take one day to install. Free temporary shades go up on the windows you ordered for while you wait.
Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee includes a lifetime warranty on the fabric that transfers to the next owner if you sell, five years of free service on defects, and one Life Happens repair if there's an accident in those five years.
