Custom Cellular Blinds Mount Pleasant – Free Installation

Considerably. A builder roller is a single layer of fabric hanging a little away from the glass, so air moves freely behind it. A cellular shade traps that air inside the honeycomb and sits closer to the frame, which is where the insulating value comes from. On the rear windows of a new home the difference shows up as a room you can sit in through January.

It can. An inside-mounted shade sits close to the glass, and a latch or a crank handle that projects into that space will foul the fabric as it lowers. We take the clearance at the measure and either shift the mount forward on the frame or go outside mount. The shade still seals well outside mounted, and on a small window it looks the same from the room.

Check for a loop or a pull cord with a tassel, because some builder packages still include them. If either is present, replacing the shade beats adding a cleat that someone will forget to use. Every cellular shade we install lifts cordless or on a motor. We can take the old ones away on the same visit as the new install.

It will not ruin them, but it does settle faster than it would on a finished street. Vacuum the pleats with a soft brush every couple of weeks while the building goes on, and keep the shades raised on windy days if the site is close. Construction dust is fine and gritty, so brush it off rather than pressing it into the fabric with a cloth.
