Honeycomb Cellular Shades in Charleston, SC
Cellular shades trap air in their cells, so a window stops radiating August heat into the room. Light-filtering or blackout, cordless or motorized.

Insulation you can see on the bill.
Single-pane sash windows on the peninsula and big new-construction glass in Summerville both lose the battle with August sun. A cellular shade adds an insulating layer that helps the air conditioning keep up, and it does it with a soft, even light that flatters a room.
They're also some of the most adaptable shades we carry: multiple cell sizes, dozens of fabrics and textures, and the full range from light-filtering to total blackout. They look as right in a beach cottage as they do in a contemporary Grand Dunes build.

Charleston homes.
What we see on in-home consultations around the metro area.
- Historic windows — inside-mount cellulars that fit old sashes without drilling into original trim.
- Street privacy — top-down bottom-up shades on downtown and Old Village homes close to the sidewalk.
- Nurseries & bedrooms — cordless blackout cells for Mount Pleasant and West Ashley families.
- Whole-house packages — Nexton, Cane Bay, and Carnes Crossroads new builds measured before move-in.
- Summer heat — the cells hold a layer of air against the glass, which helps most on west- and south-facing windows through a long Lowcountry summer.
- Tall windows — on the tall windows in older downtown homes, top-down bottom-up lets daylight in over the top while the lower half stays covered. Motorization handles the windows you can’t reach.
- Busy streets — cellular construction also dampens outside noise, a help in bedrooms that face a busy road.
- Second homes — on Kiawah, Seabrook, and Isle of Palms, motorized schedules can close shades against the afternoon sun while the house sits empty and open them again before you arrive.
Blackout cells are the bedroom shade we recommend most, and they go cordless for rooms with kids and pets. We bring cell and fabric samples to the house, measure every window, and match opacity and lift to how each room is used.

Honeycomb shade
questions.
What Lowcountry homeowners ask us most.
Do honeycomb shades help with summer heat in Charleston?
They help. Each cell is a small pocket of air, and stacked across a window they form a buffer between the glass and the room. That cuts heat transfer at the window and can ease the load on your air conditioning, especially on west- and south-facing windows.
Can honeycomb shades be motorized?
Yes. Rechargeable motorization lets you run one shade or a whole wall of them from a remote, an app, or voice control, and set schedules that close bedroom shades for the afternoon sun. Cordless manual lifts are available too.
What is top-down bottom-up, and where does it make sense?
The shade can lower from the top as well as raise from the bottom. You get daylight through the upper part of the window while the lower part stays covered, which works well on street-facing windows downtown and in the Old Village.
Will honeycomb shades fit older windows?
Yes. They are made to the measured opening, and inside-mount shades sit within the window rather than across the face of the trim. We measure every window in person, including tall and odd-sized ones.
