Real Customer Feedback
“I was skeptical about ordering custom blinds online, but the measurement guide was foolproof. We installed these in our south-facing living room, and the heat reduction is incredible. The blackout fabric is truly 100 percent opaque—no pinholes of light at all. They look high-end and operate smoothly. Honestly, the only minor challenge was waiting for the custom build time, but the quality was worth it.”

FAQ
How do I measure my window for a custom order?
For an inside mount, measure the exact width and height of the window opening at three points (top, middle, bottom) and use the narrowest width. We recommend providing the exact rough opening size; our production team will deduct the necessary clearance (usually 0.25 inch) for a perfect fit. For outside mounts, add 2-4 inches on each side to maximize light blockage.
What is the difference between Single Cell and Double Cell?
Single cell shades are lighter and offer a softer look, ideal for standard insulation needs. Double cell shades fold the fabric into two layers of honeycombs, trapping more air. This provides a significantly higher insulation value and better sound absorption, making them the premium choice for extreme climates and home offices adjacent to noisy streets.
Are these truly blackout for a nursery or media room?
Yes. Our blackout option features a dense, opaque fabric with a special coating that blocks 99.9 percent of external light. To ensure total darkness, we also recommend an inside mount with minimal gap and checking that the headrail is installed flush against the ceiling.
Can I install these cellular shades myself?
Absolutely. They come with all necessary hardware and easy-to-follow instructions. If you are replacing an existing blind, the mounting brackets usually align perfectly with standard screw holes. For a complete guide, check our no-drill roller shade installation options if you prefer a rental-friendly setup.
How does this compare to other light filtering options?
While zebra blinds offer alternating stripe light control and wooden shutters provide a classic look, honeycomb shades are unmatched in pure energy efficiency. The cellular structure is specifically engineered to insulate, whereas zebra blinds and shutters are primarily for light filtering and aesthetic privacy. If your main goal is reducing heating and cooling costs, honeycomb cells are scientifically the superior choice. For a different aesthetic, you might also consider our cord pull wood blinds, but they do not offer the same thermal barrier.
What is the lead time for custom sizes?
Standard sizes ship within 48 hours. Custom sizes typically take 5-7 business days to manufacture plus shipping time. We prioritize accuracy over speed to ensure your blinds are flawless. For urgent projects, we recommend checking our easy-install stock blinds that ship immediately.
