Honeycomb Shades by Solar Shield Blinds

With over 100 fabrics to choose from, there is a lot to look at. They fall into 3 groups: Light Filtering, Room Darkening, Sheer. Our Design Specialists help you with color and texture selection. We bring the swatches and samples to your home so you can see the colors in your own lighting and in your own space, as part of your free in-home consultation.

Four: Cord Loop, Cordless (Child Safe), PowerWand (Child Safe), Motorized / Automated (Child Safe). Your Design Specialist helps you work out the right one for your windows.

Our typical lead time is 4 to 6 weeks from order to final installation. Most of our projects are completed within one installation day.

We only carry products that hold up, and we back them with our No Questions Asked Guarantee to protect your investment. If something is wrong, call us and we will put it right.

Yes. Our custom window treatments come with transferable warranties. If you move, the warranty continues, which means the next owner is covered the same way you were.

They reduce heat transfer at the window, which is where a large share of a room’s loss happens. How much you notice depends on how bad your glass is now. On single pane or older double pane windows the difference is obvious. On new construction with good glass it is real but smaller. We have written up the detail in a separate article.

Double cell insulates better and is the right call on north-facing windows, older glass, and any room that is already uncomfortable. Single cell stacks tighter and looks lighter, which matters on short windows.

Yes. Blackout cell fabric plus a snug fit gives a very dark room. Add side channels if you want it darker still.

No, but do not soak them. A vacuum on a brush attachment once or twice a year handles it. Our use and maintenance guide covers the specifics.

The fabric carries a lifetime warranty, and the warranty is transferable, so if you move the next owner is covered the same way you were.

No. Room darkening fabric blocks the light coming through the shade, but an inside mount leaves small light gaps at the sides. An outside mount blocks more light, though it may not look as clean. A privacy light block along the edges closes most of the gap, and side channels take it further. Two things worth knowing before you order: white room darkening fabrics tend to read a little gray because of the liner, and we recommend against a fabric wrapped headrail on a room darkening shade.

Motorized Top Down Bottom Up is available up to 120 inches wide. The Cordless Lift and Lock Top Down Bottom Up carries a single lift cord on the outer edges and goes up to 84 inches wide. On a motorized Top Down Bottom Up the bottom rail has some limits on how it moves, which your Design Specialist will walk you through at the consultation.

Bathrooms and bedrooms, or any window that faces a neighbor or the street. You keep privacy at eye level and let the daylight in over the top. It is available cordless and motorized, and the Trilight version pairs it with a sheer pleated shade.

Yes. Honeycomb shades have the smallest headrail of any window covering we carry, so they suit shallow casings, and they stack compact when raised so the view stays clear.

The exterior side is white regardless of the interior color, so the house reads consistent from the street. Keep in mind that exterior colors and shadows outside the window can affect how the shade color reads from inside the room.

Consider the window height first. On a tall window a cordless shade may need an extension pole to reach the rail, so for high or hard to reach windows we usually suggest a cord loop or a motor.

Yes. Hold downs are available for the bottom rail so the shade stays put when the door swings, and for sliding glass doors there is a vertical honeycomb that opens side to side and stacks to one side.
