Honeycomb Shades In Gardner
Honeycomb (Cellular) Shades in Gardner, KS
Honeycomb Shades, also called cellular shades, even out the rooms in a Gardner house that never match the thermostat. The bedroom over the garage in a newer two story runs hot in July and cold in January, and the air pocket in our Solar Shield Blinds Honeycomb Shades puts still air between the room and the glass.
Where It Fits In Gardner
Where cellular shades fit in a Gardner home
Honeycomb shades earn their keep in the rooms you feel first: the bonus room, the corner bedrooms on the windy side, and the windows that face a neighbor a few yards away.
- Bonus rooms over the garageThe room over the garage in a Cottage Creek or Genesis Creek two story swings with the weather. Double cell honeycomb insulates the best, and room darkening fabric takes the edge off the afternoon sun.
- Side windows close to the neighborsNewer Gardner lots put the side windows of two houses facing each other. With Top Down Bottom Up you drop the top rail for sky and daylight, and the lower half of the window stays covered.
- Original windows downtownWhere an older house near Main Street still has its original windows, a honeycomb puts a layer of still air in front of the cold glass, and its small headrail fits a shallow casing.
- Kids' roomsCordless Lift and Lock leaves no cord on the shade, and it runs Top Down Bottom Up up to 84 inches wide, so the kids' rooms get privacy from the top down with nothing to pull.
Worth Knowing
How the air pocket works and which Gardner rooms get it first
A honeycomb shade is two layers of fabric with a pocket of air between them, and that pocket slows the heat moving through the glass in both directions. In a Gardner two story, the rooms that feel it most are the bonus room over the garage, a corner bedroom that catches the wind coming across open ground, and a breakfast nook with glass on three sides. Those are the rooms we point to first on a quote, and the rest of the house can follow later.
The fabric book runs past 100 choices in sheer, light filtering and room darkening, and one shade can pair a light filtering fabric with a room darkening one, so the same bedroom window glows in the afternoon and goes dark at bedtime. Top Down Bottom Up is available as wide as 84 inches cordless, or 120 inches with a motor. A vertical honeycomb covers a patio door and stacks to about six inches on one side, and we build shades for arches, angles and skylights, including the arched window over a front entry. The side facing the street is always white.
Room darkening fabric still shows a sliver of daylight down both edges of the cells, so ask about the privacy light block, which closes up most of that sliver. A white room darkening fabric also reads a little gray from its liner, so your Design Specialist brings both kinds to hold up at your window. The visit is free, the quote is exact and held for 180 days, and interior products take 4 to 6 weeks before our Install Techs come out to hang them.

Straight Answers
Honeycomb Shades questions from Gardner homeowners
Yes. The air pocket slows the heat coming through the glass, and room darkening fabric blocks more of the afternoon sun. A shade won't replace the air conditioning, but a bonus room with honeycombs on the sunny windows is easier to keep close to the temperature of the rest of the house.
Top Down Bottom Up is built for that. Lower the top and light comes in over the neighbor's sightline, while the lower half stays closed. On the side windows of a newer Gardner home, that's the version we suggest first.
Yes. The street side of every honeycomb is white, whatever color you choose for the inside, so a Gardner house with a different color in every room still looks uniform from the sidewalk. That keeps things simple with the HOA, though it's worth checking your association's rules before you order.
Yes. Cordless Lift and Lock, PowerWand and Motorized leave nothing hanging that a toddler can reach. The cordless versions add a little to the price of each shade, and you'll see that line by line on the quote.
No. Honeycombs go up 4 to 6 weeks after the order, and our crew finishes most Gardner houses in a single day. Free paper temporary shades bridge the gap on every window in the order.
Yes. Under the Carefree Guarantee, the shade has lifetime product coverage that a buyer inherits, defects are serviced free for five years, and Life Happens covers one accident in that stretch.
