Not every window fits neatly into a standard size — and this project is a perfect example of why expertise matters. At nearly 110 inches wide, this oversized window presented a significant design and engineering challenge. Our solution: a custom-fabricated day & night cellular shade that delivers two distinct zones of light control within a single, seamless installation. What Is a Day & Night Cellular Shade? A day & night cellular shade — also known as a dual-zone or top-down bottom-up cellular shade — divides the window into two independently controlled sections: - Top zone (sheer / light-filtering): A translucent fabric panel that allows soft, diffused daylight to pour into the room while maintaining an open, airy feel. During the day, this zone stays open to keep the space bright and connected to the outdoors. - Bottom zone (privacy / room-darkening): A denser cellular fabric panel that blocks the view from outside, providing privacy at eye level without sacrificing the natural light coming in from above. This two-zone design is particularly powerful in large living spaces where you need light and openness but still want privacy from street level or neighbouring properties. Why Cellular? The Energy Efficiency Advantage Cellular shades — also called honeycomb shades — are recognized as one of the most energy-efficient window covering options available. Their patented cell structure traps air in discrete pockets between the window glass and your living space, creating an insulating buffer that significantly reduces heat transfer. For a window of this scale — 110 inches wide — the thermal performance is especially impactful. In summer, the cellular structure reduces solar heat gain, easing the load on your air conditioning. In winter, it holds warm interior air against the glass, reducing heat loss and lowering your heating costs. Over a full year, this translates to measurable energy savings. Engineered for Oversized Spans Manufacturing a cellular shade at 110 inches wide requires precision. The fabric must be tensioned correctly across the entire span to prevent sagging, the lift system must be balanced to raise and lower evenly, and the cell structure must remain uniform from edge to edge. Our team has the experience and equipment to handle wide-format installations that many competitors simply decline. Whether your home has a picture window, a sliding door opening, a great room feature wall, or a panoramic glass span, we have the fabrication capability and installation expertise to deliver a result that looks custom-built — because it is. Available in Multiple Cell Sizes Cellular shades are available in single-cell, double-cell, and triple-cell configurations, each offering increasing levels of insulation performance: - Single cell — cost-effective, good light control - Double cell — enhanced insulation, most popular choice for homes - Triple cell — maximum energy efficiency, ideal for extreme climates Our team will guide you to the right cell size based on your window's sun exposure, your home's heating and cooling demands, and your budget.
