Honeycomb Shades In Peoria
Honeycomb (Cellular) Shades in Peoria, IL
Winters in Peoria, Illinois are cold and snowy, and a lot of that cold comes right through the glass. Our Solar Shield Blinds Honeycomb Shades, also called cellular shades, trap a pocket of air against the window to help hold the cold out in winter and the heat out in summer, no matter how new or old your windows are.
Where It Fits In Peoria
The Rooms That Feel The Cold First
From the streetcar era homes on the East Bluff to the newer houses on the far north side, every Peoria home has a room that is harder to keep comfortable than the rest.
- Older Homes On The East BluffThe East Bluff grew in the late 1800s and early 1900s as a streetcar neighborhood, with homes along Wisconsin Avenue and Nebraska Avenue. If your home still has its older glass, a double cell Honeycomb Shade makes a difference you can feel.
- North Facing RoomsA room on the north side of the house never gets the winter sun. Double cell fabric insulates better, and it's the right call for any room that already feels cold.
- Bedrooms And NurseriesRoom darkening Honeycomb Shades fit tight to the edges of the window for better sleep, and the cordless, PowerWand and motorized options are all child safe.
- Skylights And Arched WindowsWe make Honeycomb Shades for skylights, arches, angle tops and hexagons, and a motorized skylight shade recharges its battery with a solar panel.
Energy Efficiency
Built For A Central Illinois January And July
The average temperature in Peoria sits in the low 20s in January and in the mid 70s in July, with plenty of humidity. The honeycomb cell traps a pocket of still air right up against the glass, and that pocket slows the cold coming in during the winter and the heat coming in during the summer. That's why our Honeycomb Shades are our go to solution for drafty windows and uncomfortable rooms.
The difference you feel comes down to the glass you have now. If your home still has its original single pane glass, or older double pane windows, the difference is obvious. In a newer home with good glass, the difference is real but smaller, and single cell fabric can be the better fit because it stacks tighter and looks lighter on a shorter window.

Straight Answers
Honeycomb Shades questions from Peoria homeowners
Yes. The air pocket between the two layers of fabric is what creates the insulation, and it helps the room hold its temperature against cold glass. Double cell fabric insulates best, and your Design Specialist will recommend it for any room that already feels cold.
Yes, and that's one of their strengths. The headrail is the smallest of anything we carry, so an inside mount works even where the casing is shallow, and the fabric stacks compact at the top when you raise it.
Yes. The Patio Door Option is a honeycomb shade that travels side to side instead of up and down, and it stacks to just 6 inches at one side of the door, however wide the opening is. It's also a good choice for closets and room dividers.
Yes. The side that faces out is white no matter which color you choose for the inside, so every window reads the same from the street. The colors and shadows outside the glass can change how the fabric looks from inside, which is why we bring the samples to your windows.
Yes. Automated Top Down Bottom Up moves both rails from a remote, the app, or voice control through Siri, Google Home or Alexa enabled devices, and it's available up to 120 inches wide. Your Design Specialist will walk you through how the bottom rail moves on a motorized shade.
No. Plan on 4 to 6 weeks from the day you order to the day our Install Techs arrive, and most homes are finished in one installation day. If a bedroom or bathroom can't wait that long for privacy, we put up free paper temporary shades on those windows right away.
