Honeycomb Shades In Mission
Honeycomb (Cellular) Shades in Mission, KS
Honeycomb Shades, also called cellular shades, warm up the coldest rooms in a Mission house. The lower level of a split level sits half in the ground and the bedroom over the garage sits over an unheated space, and the air pocket in our Solar Shield Blinds Honeycomb Shades holds a layer of still air between those rooms and the glass.
Where It Fits In Mission
Where cellular shades fit in a Mission home
A honeycomb shade earns its place in the rooms you feel the season in, and in Mission those rooms are easy to find: downstairs, over the garage, and under the roof.
- Split level lower levelsThe family room downstairs has short windows and a cold slab underfoot. Double cell honeycomb insulates the best of any shade we carry.
- Shallow casings in Mission Hill AcresA 1920s window that has been painted and repainted leaves little depth. The honeycomb has our smallest headrail, so it fits inside the frame.
- Cape Cod bedrooms under the roofThe upstairs bedroom of a Fairway Cape Cod sits right under the roof, warm in July and cool in January. Room darkening honeycomb helps with both and the early sunrise.
- Front rooms close to the sidewalkTop Down Bottom Up lowers the top of the shade for daylight and keeps the bottom covered, which suits a ranch front room near a busy street.
Worth Knowing
How the air pocket works, and which Mission rooms to do first
Two layers of fabric with an air pocket between them is all a honeycomb shade is, and the pocket is what keeps you warm. It slows the cold coming off the glass in January and the heat in July, so we steer Mission homeowners to the rooms that feel the weather most: the lower level of a split level, the bedroom over the garage, and the upstairs of a Cape Cod. The shade won't seal a leaky frame, but the still air in front of the glass is what you notice sitting nearby.
There are over 100 fabrics across sheer, light filtering and room darkening, and a single shade can pair a light filtering panel with a room darkening one for a bedroom that changes from day to night. Top Down Bottom Up runs up to 84 inches wide with Cordless Lift and Lock and 120 inches motorized. A vertical honeycomb for a patio door stacks to about six inches on one side, and we build shades for arches, angles and skylights. Every honeycomb is white on the street side, so a ranch front looks even from the curb.
Room darkening honeycomb still leaves thin light gaps at the edges, and a privacy light block closes most of them. A white room darkening fabric also reads a little gray because of its liner, so your Design Specialist brings both kinds to compare. The visit and the measuring are free, and the quote is exact and held for 180 days. Honeycomb Shades take 4 to 6 weeks, and our Install Techs finish most Mission homes in under a day.

Straight Answers
Honeycomb Shades questions from Mission homeowners
Yes, more than any other single layer shade, because of the air pocket. A lower level room with short windows against the lawn loses heat through the glass, and a double cell honeycomb puts still air in front of it. That's the room we recommend doing first in most Mission split levels.
Yes. It has the smallest headrail of anything we carry, so it fits inside casings that other shades can't. Your Design Specialist measures the depth of each window in Mission Hill Acres or Countryside before anything is ordered.
Yes, with Top Down Bottom Up. Lower the top and the light comes in over the privacy line, while the bottom stays closed so the sidewalk sees fabric. It's the version we suggest first for a front room facing Lamar, Nall or Johnson Drive.
Yes. The side of every honeycomb facing the street is white, whatever color faces the room, so a Mission ranch can have a different color in every bedroom and still look tidy from the curb.
Yes. Cordless Lift and Lock, PowerWand and Motorized all leave no reachable cord on the shade. Cordless costs a little more than a cord loop, and your quote shows the difference window by window.
No. Our typical lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from order to final install, and most homes take one day. Free temporary shades cover the windows you ordered for in the meantime.
