Cellular shades in Manhattan.

Cellular shades for Manhattan homes

Manhattan has prewar co-ops with tall double-hung windows and radiators below, glass condo towers with floor-to-ceiling windows, and SoHo and Tribeca lofts with oversized industrial windows. Cellular honeycomb shades add an insulating layer at the window and can open top-down for privacy with daylight.

What matters in Manhattan

Warmth in winter

Older prewar windows can be drafty in winter, and radiators sit right under many of them.

Noise

Traffic, sirens and street life make softer, layered window treatments worth considering in bedrooms.

Privacy

The building across the street can be close enough to see in, so daytime privacy matters as much as night-time darkness.

Sun and glare

South- and west-facing glass gets strong afternoon sun, while lower floors on narrow streets may see little direct light at all.

Measured and installed in Manhattan

Most buildings require a certificate of insurance, freight elevator booking and set work hours. We handle all three, and plan around co-op and condo alteration rules. Every window is measured in person, so everything fits exactly.
