Custom Cellular Blinds Stoney Creek – Free Installation

On a standard double glazed low-E unit, no. Manufacturers allow for interior coverings and a honeycomb shade sits well inside that tolerance. The combination that does cause trouble is a very dark shade held tight against tinted or filmed glass in full sun, where the pane heats unevenly. If your windows carry aftermarket film, say so and we will keep the fabric lighter and the fit slightly looser.

A honeycomb cannot be re-fabricated the way a roller can, because the cells are the structure rather than a skin over a tube. What is repairable is the mechanism. The internal lift cords fray before anything else does and they can be restrung, and end caps and cordlocks are serviceable parts. Damage to the cells themselves means a new shade, though our 3-year warranty covers the mechanical side.

She can, and cellular is more vulnerable here than most products. A claw goes through a cell wall rather than sliding off it, and a crushed cell does not spring back the way a fold in a curtain does. If a cat has a favourite window, put something hard surfaced there such as a roller or a vertical, and keep the honeycomb for rooms she does not treat as furniture.

The lift stays easy, since the spring is balanced against the weight of the shade. Reach is the real problem. On a shade dropping two and a half metres you are stretching to get the bottom rail up that last stretch, and most people end up leaving it lower than they meant to. A pole with a hook solves that cheaply. A motor solves it properly.
