Levelor Cellular Shades and Sheer Shades Quality?

3 years ago

I'm looking to get Levelor for window coverings. Levolor was acquired by Hunter Douglas back in 2006 and offers 10 years warranty on their products. Please let me know your experience with Levelor's cellular shades and sheer shades.

I always want to know where these are going and the purpose for any type of shade. IMO a 10yr warranty sounds good but what does it cover?

@Patricia Colwell Consulting I plan to use sheer shades for living room and room darkening cellular shade for bedrooms. On the 10 year warranty, the product is covered against manufacturing defects (i. e., a flaw in the product design, materials or workmanship that causes the product to no longer function).

They are cheaper than Hunter Douglas so want to know if anyone has experience with this brand and how's their Levelor window coverings holding up.

I have pleated shades in the back windows of my house and they are fine .. However, I am considering the cellular shades that, in addition to pulling the bottom up, you can also pull the top down. One of my neighbors has this in their front picture window and it looks so nice. These really give you the right amount of privacy and the right amount of light that you need. They are pricey, but in my opinion worth it! Linda

Wood Blinds versus Cellular Shades in windows

I posted a while back for help deciding on wood blinds. In the end, with much help from posters here, I decided to go ahead and order some standard size wood blinds from JC Penney. I started out by putting them just in our family room windows. I found that I loved them so much that I wound up ordering them for every window in the house. I ordered the white ones and find that they reflect a lot of light and really brighten up the rooms, too. I'm sorry that I can't add any info about how they are to raise and lower on a daily basis because I just tilt them open and closed. We haven't had them for long, but so far we only raise them a bit if we open a window. Hope this helps.

We build cellular shades here in Vermont with Hunter Douglas cellular fabric made by Comfortex. We have a good client base in Australia, as well as other very hot places in the US, so I asked a Comfortex rep about any heat limits. The fabric we build our shades with has no limitation that would preclude usage in extremely hot locations. If you invest in a quality shade it'll last you. Ours last 20 years! Hope that helps!

Cellular shades or other options for windows?

We have Hunter Douglas designer screen shades in our MB (and other rooms as well). You can choose from very sheer, to less sheer, to opaque (or practically so), in a variety of colors and patterns (I think all the fabrics are actually vinyl, and are easily wiped free of dust). We used a fairly sheer black fabric in our MB, and have micropleat black out shades installed behind them. I lower the micropleat shades at night, and then raise them all the way up in the morning. Little pinholes of light do come in through the holes for the strings, but the room is still plenty dark. The micropleat shades also come in a privacy version, which probably allows light to shine through (no idea how much), while preserving the privacy of the rooms occupants.

This is an old thread, but I will comment in case anyone is in the same situation. I have 12 Levelor cellular shades. The only ones I have had problems with are the top down bottom up shades, Cordless. They have been replaced twice then inner strings replaced. The 4 with issues are on my French doors. Raised and lowered every day. After about 2 years, they start to lose their full length. When they stopped covering the glass, I complained. Blindsaver.com replaced the first group of 4. Levelor replaced the second set of 4. By then, I was told no more replacements. After a few years, the strings, again started not going to full length. I had to pay to ship the 4 shades, but they were fixed and returned at no cost. Levelor service is great. They say this problem only happens in the cordless shades. So, on my third set of shades in 8 years. I put up with it because I want cordless shades.
