Honeycomb Shades In Morton
Honeycomb (Cellular) Shades in Morton, IL
Morton's population doubled between 1960 and 1970, and plenty of the ranches built in those years still feel cold next to the windows in January. Our Solar Shield Blinds Honeycomb Shades, also called cellular shades, hold a layer of still air against the glass, so a Morton bedroom stays comfortable through a Central Illinois winter.
Where It Fits In Morton
Where Honeycomb Shades Help Most In Morton
Every house in town has a room that runs colder or brighter than the rest, and a honeycomb shade is our first answer for it.
- Ranches From The 1960s And 1970sIn a ranch with older glass, double cell fabric puts two layers of air between the bedroom and the cold, and it's our pick for a north facing room.
- Bedrooms Close To The NeighborsTop Down Bottom Up lowers from the top for daylight while the lower half stays covered. The Cordless Lift and Lock version runs up to 84 inches wide.
- Wide Picture WindowsA motorized Top Down Bottom Up shade covers a picture window up to 120 inches wide and runs from a remote, an app or your voice.
- Arches In Newer HomesHalf round windows over a door or a great room take a stationary fan fold arch or a fully functional motorized arch.
Staying Warm
A layer of still air between the room and a cold window
A room that stays chilly with the furnace running is losing its heat through the glass. A Honeycomb Shade is two layers of fabric with pockets of still air between them, and when it's lowered that air sits right against the window. Older single pane and double pane glass is where the change is easiest to feel, and in July the same pockets slow the heat coming in.
Fabrics come in light filtering and room darkening, or the two combined in one shade, so a bedroom gets soft light in the afternoon and goes dark at bedtime. An inside mount leaves a thin gap at each side, and a privacy light block along the edges closes most of it.

Straight Answers
Honeycomb Shades questions from Morton homeowners
Yes, and a ranch with its original or older replacement windows is where you'll feel it most. The cells slow the cold coming off the glass, so the air beside the window stays warmer. We won't promise a number on your gas bill, but standing next to the bedroom window in January feels different.
On a north window or older glass, yes, because double cell insulates better. Single cell stacks smaller at the top, which helps on a short window, and your Design Specialist recommends one or the other window by window.
Yes. Our Cordless Lift and Lock Top Down Bottom Up has nothing hanging at the window and fits openings up to 84 inches wide. A wider picture window can take the motorized version, which goes to 120 inches.
Yes. A blackout cell fabric with a close fit gets a bedroom very dark, and side channels on the edges take it darker still. Your Design Specialist checks the depth of each frame and recommends the mount.
Yes. Honeycomb arches come as a stationary fan fold or a fully functional motorized arch, and your Design Specialist measures the curve at the consultation.
Yes. Cordless, PowerWand and Motorized Honeycomb Shades leave no cord hanging at the window, so they're the ones we recommend for a nursery or a playroom. If a tall window needs a cord loop, a child safe tensioner anchors it to the wall.
