Custom Cellular Blinds Castlemore – Free Installation

Yes, though the gain is smaller than on an old window. Low-E glass slows radiant loss and the honeycomb slows air movement at the surface, so the two work on different parts of the problem. On a large rear wall the shade still makes the room usable in January when the seating sits close to the glass. On a small sheltered window the difference is hard to feel.

Inside the recess, on the frame itself, so the shade sits close to the glass where the insulation happens. A deep reveal hides the headrail completely and gives a clean line across the top. Stone sills are worth measuring carefully because they are rarely square to the frame, and we cut the bottom rail to follow the tightest reading rather than the widest.

For anything a child would have to climb to reach, yes. A cordless shade still needs a hand on the bottom rail, which means standing on furniture at a tall window. A motor removes the reason to climb. Both options are cord-free, so neither carries the strangulation risk that old looped lifts did, and we install cordless as the default everywhere else.

Gently. A dry sponge or a soft eraser lifts most marks off the pleats without water. If you have to use moisture, keep it to a barely damp cloth and dab rather than rub, because the pleat creases hold their shape through the fabric finish and scrubbing flattens them. Never let water run into a cell. It dries slowly and leaves a line.
