We get it.
Your home gets too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter and the biggest culprit is usually your windows. Single-pane or even standard double-pane windows let a significant amount of heat in (and out) even when they're closed. You're essentially paying to condition air that's leaking out through the glass.
Honeycomb shades address this directly. Their cellular structure creates pockets of trapped air that act as insulation slowing the transfer of heat through the window in both directions.
Honeycomb shades might be right for you if:
You want to reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter
You're looking for an energy-efficient window treatment option
You want a clean, soft look that works in any room
You need a shade for an unusually shaped window

More About Our
Honeycomb Shades
Blinds and Borders installs custom honeycomb shades also called cellular shades for homeowners throughout Huntsville, Madison, Athens, Harvest, Meridianville, Mooresville, Ardmore, Belle Mina, and Owens Cross Roads, AL. Honeycomb shades are named for their cross-section, which reveals a series of hexagonal air pockets running the length of the shade. These air pockets trap air and slow the transfer of heat through the window making them one of the most energy-efficient window treatment options available.
