Honeycomb Shades In Shawnee
Honeycomb (Cellular) Shades in Shawnee, KS
Honeycomb Shades, also called cellular shades, hold back the cold that comes off the glass in an older Shawnee house. A bedroom in a 1950s ranch near Johnson Drive feels every degree of a January night, and the air pocket inside our Solar Shield Blinds Honeycomb Shades puts still air between the room and the window.
Where It Fits In Shawnee
Where cellular shades fit in a Shawnee home
Cellular shades earn their place in the rooms that run too cold or too warm, and in Shawnee those rooms turn up in every decade of house.
- Ranch bedrooms on the east sideOriginal or early replacement windows in the older ranches near Nieman Road let the cold through. Double cell fabric insulates the most, in room darkening for a bedroom.
- Front rooms in Tanglewood EstatesA townhome front window sits a few steps from the shared walk. Top Down Bottom Up lets light in across the top while the lower half stays covered.
- Rooms over the garageIf your 1990s two story in Woodsonia or Lakepointe has a room over the garage, it runs hot in July and cold in January. A honeycomb is the first fix we suggest.
- Shallow window casingsReplacement windows set into older openings leave little depth. The honeycomb headrail is the smallest we carry, so the shade still fits inside the frame.
Worth Knowing
How the cells insulate, and which Shawnee rooms to do first
Each honeycomb shade is two layers of fabric joined into cells, and the air trapped in those cells slows the heat moving through the glass. In Shawnee we start with the rooms people complain about: the north bedroom in an east side ranch, the room over the garage in a 1990s two story, and the lower level of a walkout where the slider faces the yard. An older frame that has shifted can leak at its edges, and the shade puts a layer of still air in front of it, which is the part you feel sitting by the window.
Pick from over 100 fabrics in light filtering, room darkening and sheer, and light filtering and room darkening can be combined in one shade, so a bedroom is bright by day and dark at night. Top Down Bottom Up runs up to 84 inches wide cordless and 120 inches motorized. A vertical honeycomb covers a patio door and stacks to about six inches at one side, and we build shades for arches, angles and skylights. Seen from the street, every honeycomb is white, so a row of townhomes or the front of a ranch looks even.
Room darkening honeycomb still lets a thin line of light in at the sides, and a privacy light block closes most of it. White room darkening fabrics read slightly gray because of the liner, so your Design Specialist brings both to compare at the window. The consultation is free, the quote is itemized on the spot and held 180 days, and interior shades take 4 to 6 weeks. Our own Install Techs do the work, and most Shawnee homes are finished in a day.

Straight Answers
Honeycomb Shades questions from Shawnee homeowners
Yes, more than any other single layer shade, because of the air in the cells. A shade won't seal a gap in the frame, but it does put still air between you and the cold glass, and that's what you notice in bed on a January night.
Yes, with Top Down Bottom Up. Lower the top rail and daylight comes in above the privacy line, while the bottom stays covered so the walk out front sees only fabric. On a townhome in Tanglewood Estates, that's the version we show first.
Yes. The vertical honeycomb slides across a patio door and stacks to about six inches at one side, so the door opens without a shade in the way. It suits the lower level slider on a walkout as well as the main floor door.
Yes. None of Cordless Lift and Lock, PowerWand or Motorized puts a cord within a child's reach. Cordless runs a little more than a cord loop, and your quote shows the difference window by window.
No. Honeycomb Shades take 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and most homes are done in one day. Free temporary shades cover the windows in your order until then.
Yes. The lifetime product warranty under our Carefree Guarantee transfers to the next owner, and the guarantee also includes five years of free service on defects and one Life Happens repair for an accident.
