Graber or Comfortex cellular shades?

last year

I am deciding between these 2 brands for my bedroom so it would be room darkening. Has anyone purchased either of these in the linen fabric and motorized? It's difficult to visualize from the small sample in the books. Thanks for any help!

Both Graber and Comfortex are reputable brands that offer high-quality cellular shades, including room-darkening options. When it comes to choosing between them, it can be helpful to compare their features, pricing, and customer reviews.

In terms of features, both brands offer motorized options, which can be convenient for controlling the shades from a distance. Graber also offers a cordless option, which can be safer for households with children and pets. Both brands offer a variety of fabrics, including linen, and you may want to consider which one would best match your decor and personal style.

In terms of pricing, Graber and Comfortex may have different prices depending on the specific features you choose. It may be worth requesting quotes from both brands to compare their prices for the specific options you are interested in.

Finally, reading customer reviews can give you insight into the experiences of other buyers. You may want to look for reviews specifically for the linen fabric and motorized options you are considering.

Ultimately, the decision between Graber and Comfortex may come down to personal preference, budget, and which brand you feel most confident in based on your research.

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!

2" Cellular Shades?
Q

Hey There: Honeycomb blinds in 1 inch or 2 inch or somewhere between is a great way for shading. Specially the bottom up top down feature lets you perfectly chose between light management and privacy. There is btw a huge difference between 1 inch and 2 inch blinds - it is how they operate. 2 inch blinds have two horizontal tracks with one of them mounted permanently to the top of the window while track 2 and 3 move up and down on pull strings to achieve the bottom up and top down function. Please be aware of child hazard. The 1 inch blinds operate totally different...there are no pull strings or strings running across you glass - only two horizontal bars that create the bottom up top down feature. You have handle to bring them up or down. Last but not least: Jan is right when it comes to the small gap between the blinds and the wall. It is about 1/8 inch and will let some light seeping through. Good Luck on your project!

Top/down cellular shades - Blinds to Go
Q
Comments (32)
I have 4 very large 48 X 95 inch cellular blinds from Blinds to Go. I did not get top down. Mine are white but appear slightly gray because they are black out blinds and lined inside the cells with silver. I have Hunter Douglas in my other rooms. The difference I have found is in the strings. The Blinds to Go use white strings for the pulls and they get dirty, Hunter Douglas uses ball chain and is a continuous loop. The Blinds to Go have had to be repaired. The blinds got shorter and shorter over time and uneven. It seems the strings inside were catching or shrinking. I must say that the company repaired them and quickly, but I had climb up 12 feet to take them down and put them up again several days later and in the mean time I had no window covering in my bedroom. For me the price difference was worth buying Hunter Douglas. I purchased them through Home Depot. Also the Blinds to Go installer was horrible and they had to send me someone else to fix the initial install twice. Also the first batch of delivered shades were incorrectly measured. The Home Depot installer was very professional and timely.

Blackout curtains with cellular shades
Q

Blackout curtains are great, but you need to look at all the edges, as that is where light will leak out. In my experience that means: A pelmet on the top. Either one curtain or make sure they overlap where they meet in the middle. The curtains need to extend well beyond he window at each side. The rail that Sharon has posted looks a good idea too. Floor length sounds like a good idea, as long as you are not covering a radiator. Most radiators are situated directly below the window, so you end up blocking the heat. We have curtains that fall just below the window and tuck them between the radiator and wall. Aesthetically not ideal, but if you're asleep, who cares? Better than waking up to a cold room. A more expensive option is metal roller blinds fitted into the window frame.

We chose the Comfortex because it would integrate with Alexa.
