Custom Cellular Blinds Streetsville – Free Installation

That combination is where a cell shade does its best work. You already have two air gaps and the shade adds a third, this one on the warm side where condensation is less likely to form. Rooms with that setup usually feel different within a day. Leave the storm window where it is, since the shade is not a substitute for it.

The shade goes on the outside of the casing and overlaps the opening, which in a heritage house often looks better anyway, since the headrail lines up with the trim. You lose nothing in insulation. If anything the overlap seals the perimeter better than an inside mount does, because there is no side gap left between fabric and frame.

The cordless version raises and lowers from the bottom rail, and it wants a deliberate motion at the rail itself, so a child tugging at the fabric will not bring it down. There is no cord anywhere on the unit. For a window over a bed or a radiator we suggest a motor, so nobody has to lean across anything.

It is, and forced air through old ductwork is usually why. A soft brush vacuum attachment along the face every few weeks handles the surface. Once a year you can blow through the cells with a hair dryer on the cool setting to clear what has settled inside. Keep water off the honeycomb, since the cells lose shape once the glue softens.
