Honeycomb Shades In Lansing
Honeycomb (Cellular) Shades in Lansing, KS
Honeycomb Shades, also called cellular shades, put a pocket of still air between a Lansing bedroom and the glass. A north bedroom in an Oakbrook ranch feels the January wind first, and our Solar Shield Blinds Honeycomb Shades make that room easier to sleep in, winter and summer.
Where It Fits In Lansing
Where cellular shades fit in a Lansing home
Honeycomb shades do two jobs in Lansing: they hold heat in the older houses in winter, and they darken the bedrooms in the newer ones when the sun comes up early.
- Cold bedrooms in older ranchesThe bedrooms at the back of a 1970s ranch off Main Street can run several degrees colder than the living room. Double cell honeycomb insulates the best of anything we carry.
- East bedrooms in Southern HillsA late 1990s two story with the primary bedroom on the east side gets the sun at dawn. Room darkening fabric keeps it out until the alarm goes off.
- Shallow replacement window framesNew windows set into an old opening leave a thin casing. A honeycomb has the smallest headrail we offer, so it fits inside where other shades won't.
- Kids' roomsCordless Lift and Lock leaves no cord on the shade at all. It runs Top Down Bottom Up up to 84 inches wide.
Worth Knowing
How the air pocket works, and which Lansing rooms to start with
Each honeycomb shade is two layers of fabric joined into cells, and the air trapped in those cells is the insulation. In January it keeps the cold from radiating off the glass, and in July it holds back the heat on a south or west window. For a Lansing house we start with the rooms you notice: the back bedrooms in an older ranch, the room over the garage in a two story, and any bedroom that faces east. The shade won't seal a leaky frame, but the layer of still air in front of the glass is the part you feel from the bed.
Fabrics come in light filtering, room darkening and sheer, with over 100 to choose from, and light filtering and room darkening can share one shade so a bedroom is soft by day and dark at night. Top Down Bottom Up reaches 84 inches wide with cordless lift and 120 inches with a motor. A vertical honeycomb covers a patio door and stacks to about six inches at the side. We also build honeycombs for arches, angles and skylights, and the street side is always white, so the front of the house looks even.
Room darkening honeycomb still leaves a thin light gap down each side, and a privacy light block closes most of it. White room darkening fabric also reads a little gray because of the liner, so we bring both to compare. The consultation is free, every window is measured, and your price holds for 180 days. Interior shades take 4 to 6 weeks, and our own Install Techs finish most Lansing and Basehor homes in less than a day.

Straight Answers
Honeycomb Shades questions from Lansing homeowners
Yes. The cells trap a layer of air in front of the glass, which does more than any single layer shade to cut the chill you feel near the window. A double cell fabric gives the most insulation, and it won't fix a draft in the frame itself.
Yes, with Top Down Bottom Up. Lower the top of the shade and daylight comes in above the privacy line while the bottom half stays covered. In a front room close to the street, that's the setup we suggest first.
Yes. Every honeycomb is white on the side that faces out, whatever color you choose for the room, so the front of the house looks uniform even if each bedroom has its own color inside.
Yes. With Cordless Lift and Lock, PowerWand or Motorized, there is no cord a child can grab. Cordless costs a little more than a cord loop, and your quote shows the difference for each window.
No. Our typical lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and most homes take one day. Free temporary shades go up on the windows you ordered for in the meantime.
Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee covers the fabric with a lifetime product warranty that goes to the next owner if you sell, plus five years of free service on defects and one Life Happens repair for an accident.
