Custom Cellular Blinds Markham – Free Installation

They're the quiet workhorse for those houses. The window packages are large, the lots are tight, and cell shades handle both: real insulation on the big glass, and top-down privacy where the neighbour's window sits five metres away. Whole-house cellular orders from Cornell usually mix blackout in bedrooms with light-filtering everywhere else.

Older Markham homes have the drafty-frame problem that cell shades were built to answer, and the shade's slim inside-mount profile respects original trim, since we avoid new holes in heritage wood wherever the frame allows. In the oldest Unionville houses we sometimes pair cells for function with drapery for looks, which the consultation can price as one order.

On homes with builder-standard glazing, a double-cell layer measurably slows heat loss through the glass, and windows are where a detached home loses a large share of its heat. We won't invent a percentage for your house, but customers with whole-home installs consistently mention warmer rooms near the windows and a furnace that cycles less on cold nights.

Light-filtering cell fabric glows rather than blacks out, but no cell shade is see-through when down. If keeping a sightline matters, the honest answer is a different product, or top-down-bottom-up operation so the upper window stays open glass. Plenty of Markham orders use exactly that compromise on rear windows facing green space.

Cordless covers most windows: cell shades are light and lift easily, and there's no cord for kids to reach. Motorization earns its cost on the tall stairwell and great-room windows you'd otherwise never adjust. Many Markham orders mix the two, and the quote itemizes per window so you can decide opening by opening.

Call or use the form, and the free measurement books within 2-3 days. You get an exact quote at the appointment, production takes 2-3 weeks, and installation is one visit, usually 2-3 hours. The lifetime warranty covers the fabric cells and all operating hardware.
