Honeycomb Shades In East Peoria
Honeycomb (Cellular) Shades in East Peoria, IL
Almost half the homes in East Peoria, IL were built between 1950 and 1979, and older glass lets the cold straight into the room in January. Our Solar Shield Blinds Honeycomb Shades, also known as cellular shades, put an insulating air pocket right up against the window, so the room stays comfortable in the middle of a Central Illinois winter.
Where It Fits In East Peoria
Where Honeycomb Shades Help Most In East Peoria
Every home has a room that's harder to keep comfortable than the rest, whether it's a cold north wall, an older window, or a bedroom that looks right into the neighbor's.
- Houses From The 1950s To The 1970sDouble cell fabric insulates better than single cell, and it's the right call on older glass and in any room that already feels cold when you stand next to the window.
- Bedrooms And Bathrooms Near The NeighborsTop Down Bottom Up lets you lower the top rail for daylight while the bottom of the shade stays up for privacy. The Cordless Lift and Lock version goes up to 84 inches wide.
- Tall WindowsOn a tall window, a cordless shade can need an extension pole to reach the rail, so for high and hard to reach windows we recommend a cord loop or a motor.
- Arches And SkylightsHoneycomb Shades come as stationary fan fold arches or fully functional motorized arches, and a skylight shade can run on a motor that recharges from a solar panel.
Staying Warm
An insulating layer for the windows that make a room cold
When a room feels cold even with the furnace running, the window is where the heat is going. A Honeycomb Shade is built from two layers of fabric with a pocket of still air between them, and that pocket sits right up against the glass. Single pane and older double pane windows are where you'll feel the biggest change. Come July, the same pocket is holding the afternoon heat back.
You can choose light filtering or room darkening fabric, or combine the two in one shade so a bedroom has soft light during the day and gets dark at night. Room darkening fabric still leaves small gaps at the sides of an inside mount, and a privacy light block along the edges closes most of that gap.

You'll get an exact, itemized quote on the spot that holds for 180 days, and your shades are ready to install 4 to 6 weeks after you order.

Straight Answers
Honeycomb Shades questions from East Peoria homeowners
Yes, and older windows are where you'll notice it most. The air pocket in the fabric slows the cold coming off the glass, so the room stays warmer right next to the window. If your home still has its original windows, that's where the shade does the most. We can't promise a number on your heating bill, but you'll feel it standing by the window in January.
On a north facing window, older glass, or a room that is already uncomfortable, yes. Double cell insulates better. Single cell stacks tighter and looks lighter, which matters on a short window, and your Design Specialist will help you decide window by window.
Yes. Our Cordless Lift and Lock Top Down Bottom Up has no cord hanging down and covers windows up to 84 inches wide. For a wider picture window, a motorized Top Down Bottom Up goes to 120 inches, and it runs from a remote, the app on your phone, or your voice.
Yes. Blackout cell fabric and a snug fit give you a very dark room, and side channels along the edges make it darker still. Your Design Specialist will look at each bedroom window and recommend the right mount.
Yes, for a room where you want a soft, sheer look during the day. A Trilight pairs a pleated sheer shade with a honeycomb shade on one headrail, so you get soft light and daytime privacy from the sheer and the honeycomb when you want the room closed up.
Yes. Cordless, PowerWand and Motorized Honeycomb Shades leave no cord hanging at the window, which is why we recommend them for a nursery, a playroom, or any room where kids and pets spend their day. Where a cord loop is the better fit on a tall window, it is anchored with a child safe tensioner.
