Honeycomb Shades In Liberty
Honeycomb (Cellular) Shades in Liberty, MO
Stand next to an original window in an older Liberty home in January and you can feel the cold coming off the glass. Our Honeycomb Shades, also called cellular shades, trap an air pocket between two layers of fabric that holds the harsh conditions out and helps regulate the temperature of the room.
Where It Fits In Liberty
Where Honeycomb Shades help most in Liberty
Original sashes near the Square, shallow casings in the subdivisions, and bedrooms facing the street all have a Honeycomb Shade answer.
- Original windows near the SquareHomes in the Jewell-Lightburne Historic District date back as far as 1852. On single pane glass, a double cell Honeycomb Shade makes a difference you can feel.
- Shallow casingsThe honeycomb headrail is the smallest of any window covering we carry, so it tucks inside a shallow casing where a bulky headrail won't fit.
- Bedrooms facing the streetTop Down Bottom Up keeps a bedroom private from the sidewalk while the top of the window stays open to daylight.
- Patio doors and skylightsA vertical Honeycomb Shade stacks to 6 inches beside a slider, and a motorized skylight shade recharges its battery from the sun.
Worth Knowing
Single cell or double cell, lift options, and room darkening
The cell structure of a Honeycomb Shade traps a pocket of still air right up against the glass, and that pocket is what does the work. In a Midwest January it's the difference between a room you use and a room you shut the door on, and come July it's holding the heat out instead. Double cell insulates better and is the right call on north facing windows, older glass and any room that's already uncomfortable. Single cell stacks tighter and looks lighter on a short window.
Over 100 fabrics come in light filtering, room darkening and sheer, and light filtering and room darkening can be combined in one shade. Lift options are Cord Loop, Cordless, PowerWand and Motorized. Cordless Lift and Lock Top Down Bottom Up goes up to 84 inches wide, and motorized Top Down Bottom Up goes up to 120 inches, with both rails motorized and voice control through Siri, Google Home or Alexa enabled devices. The Trilight version pairs a sheer pleated shade with a honeycomb.
Room darkening fabric blocks the light through the shade, but an inside mount leaves small gaps at the sides, and a privacy light block along the edges closes most of that gap. White room darkening fabrics read a little gray from inside because of the liner. Your Design Specialist shows you the difference at your Liberty home, measures every opening, and writes an exact quote on the spot. Honeycomb Shades take 4 to 6 weeks from order to install.

Straight Answers
Honeycomb Shades questions from Liberty homeowners
Yes. Cellular shade is another name for a Honeycomb Shade, because the fabric forms cells of trapped air that look like a honeycomb from the side. That trapped air is what makes them our go to solution for drafty windows in Liberty homes.
Yes, and they're the first product we reach for on a drafty window. The trapped air slows the cold coming off original glass, and the difference is obvious on single pane or older double pane windows. Because the headrail is so small, it fits inside the deep casings without covering the trim.
Yes, that's Top Down Bottom Up. Lower the top rail to let daylight in overhead while the bottom stays closed to the street. It suits bathrooms and bedrooms, or any window facing a neighbor or the sidewalk.
They do. Every Honeycomb Shade is white on the exterior side no matter what color faces the room, so a navy bedroom shade and a cream living room shade look the same from the driveway of your Liberty home.
Yes. Hold downs keep the bottom rail in place when a door swings, and for a sliding glass door there is a vertical Honeycomb Shade that opens side to side and stacks to one side.
No. A vacuum on a brush attachment once or twice a year keeps a Liberty home's Honeycomb Shades clean, and they should never be soaked. Our use and maintenance guide covers the specifics.
